Paisagem Mutante como Elemento de Análise

Abstract

In Mozambique, the local curriculum permits to discover the reality of the student. The training of teachers of Geography now includes a concern for understanding the influence of local phenomena and external change in the landscape around the student. In Pedagogical University, the training of teachers of geography had become decoupled from reality, and the teaching dull and too theoretical. The location of the delegation of Gaza in an area of a constantly changing landscape brought another dynamic in teacher education, turning the landscape a subject of analysis, allowing the future teacher perceives that it is necessary to break with the geography of the classroom. The student learns that landscapes are constructed by social dynamics, and there is not a society out of nature and that the phenomena are temporally and geographically located in the place where they occur, having and receiving influences from other places and other periods. Direct contact with the landscape allows the use of cartographic language as important methodology for the construction of geographic knowledge. This work shows how the changing of landscape is used in teaching and learning process in the Course of Geography, Pedagogical University, Delegation of Gaza.
