Nona arte e o ensino de geografia: as histórias em quadrinhos como um recurso didático

Abstract

Comic books, popularly called comics, can be classified as narratives based on the drawing and the written text as speech. Comic books have as a striking characteristic the possibility of reflecting what society is or was going through in a given period. The use of comic books is a practice that would facilitate learning through a language that students can enjoy both in targeted moments in the classroom and at leisure, in other words, a lighter and more pleasurable learning process. In this way, this work proposes the use of comic books as a didactic resource in the teaching-learning process of students in the sixth year of elementary school II, aiming to teach Physical Geography, such as hydrography, in a less traditional, decorative and content-based way. Thus, the objective of this work revolves around facilitating the understanding of basic education students about objects of knowledge relating to Physical Geography, using comic books as a teaching resource, contextualizing the objects of knowledge with the students' realities. In this way, it is vital to bring teaching-learning processes closer to the universe lived and perceived by students, to design a more humanitarian geographic space. Based on the concept of place, and the encouragement dedicated to students, in the analysis of the world, based on their realities, we generate knowledge of the space lived, perceived and conceived in their daily lives. The answers obtained through subjective questions and the production of comic books made by the students made it possible to understand the geographic processes that occur in our daily lives, making students reimagine their daily lives, linking the geographic objects of hydrography and giving practical solutions to promote awareness and clean up rivers. I conclude with the statement that comics are a teaching resource that can be used in different ways in the classroom, as this resource is something enjoyable and makes understanding the themes more fun, informative and even illustrative.
