THE IMPORTANCE OF FIELD ACTIVITY IN GEOGRAPHY: AN EXPERIENCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION WITH BIOGEOGRAPHY AND SYSTEMATIC CLIMATOLOGY

Abstract

The article approaches the importance of field activities in Geography from an experience with theoretical and methodological procedures involved in the teaching-learning relationships between students and teachers of the undergraduate course in Geography of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), during field classes of the disciplines of Biogeography and Systematic Climatology in the transect Natal/RN - Triunfo/PE, especially in the Pernambuco municipalities of Recife and Triunfo, in November 2019. Methodologically, the activities carried out before the field, in the field and after the field were taken into consideration. Considering that landscape observations go beyond natural and anthropic issues, a satisfactory resolution of the activities proposed by the teachers was obtained, so that it was possible to interrelate the knowledge acquired with the reality placed to the students in various aspects, whose theory allowed the introduction of technical exercises that facilitated the use of the contents, demonstrating the effectiveness of the visit for the teaching of Geographical Sciences and for the training of the future professional.
