Currently, education professionals face the great challenge of carrying out educational activities that are productive and effective in the teaching and learning process. With aim overcome the problems related to Geography practices in the classroom, we believe that the geographical workshops and training through specific knowledge of subjects are important to overcome these problems.

In this way, the present research aims to potentiate the training of teachers, who acted in elementary school, learning that can favor the development of the geographic reasoning, through geographic workshops that work the theoretical-methodological knowledge of school cartography. In methodological procedures, aims to establish the theory-practice and practice-theory relationship, in order to work with the notio of knowledge construction in and with everyday.

The results pointed out the progress of the application of this teaching method, due to the active participation and interaction of the participants, when the information used is close to the reality of the geographic contents.
