FROM LANDING TO METROPOLITAN REGION: POTENTIALITIES OF THE INTERDISCIPLINARY TEACHING PRACTICE IN THE STUDY OF THE CITY

Abstract

Reflection and understanding of the city are fundamental conditions for the construction of citizenship and the construction of meaningful knowledge with students requires from pedagogical practice the overcoming of working with fragmented and decontextualized knowledge, promoting the autonomy of students as subjects of knowledge. These are assumptions of an interdisciplinary project involving the disciplines of Science, Geography, History, Portuguese Language and Mathematics in the study of the city and developed by teachers and students from the 7th year of elementary school in a municipal school in Campinas-SP. The teaching project methodology was based on problematization, systematization and synthesis stages, with diversified didactic activities and strategies, involving research and organization of a book with the students' productions. Based on these productions and the students' reports, the results point to the importance of research in practice with students so that they are formed as subjects of the appropriation and production of knowledge, acting based on an investigative proposal of reality.
