Abstract

The main objective of this report of a teaching practice was to promote significant learning about urbanization and Brazilian urban problems for students in the 2nd grade of Integrated Technical Education in Agriculture at the Benedito Storani Technical School, in Jundiaí-SP. For this, an interdisciplinary teaching sequence developed with 12 classes, over a period of six weeks with two classes of 50 minutes each. The main result of this activity was the production and the exhibition of short vídeos that lasted around three or six minutes. They were about eight different urban problems in Jundiaí city. In the videos, the school's yard, as well as other internal and external places of the teaching institution were explored by groups of students. Therefore, we can see that this way of teaching can beapplied in other school contexts, because it contributed to a different and efficient formation of the students, reinforced in the self-evaluation of individual and colective performance that they had to respond at the end of the process.
