Abstract

This paper originates from Chapter 2 of the masters dissertation entitled O Ensino do Lugar e o Lugar do Ensino: o conceito de lugar geográfico como dimensão de uma educação emancipadora no Ciclo II do Ensino Fundamental [“The Teaching of Place and the Place of Teaching: The Concept of Geographic Place as Part of an Emancipatory Education in Cycle 2 of Brazil’s Elementary School”]. It presents an in-depth analysis of the concept of place in geography, including various theoretical perspectives (particularly the critical and humanistic approaches) and the concept’s scientific meanings and daily applications in Geography teaching in Cycle 2 of Brazil’s elementary school. Furthermore, this paper addresses the dialectic relation between place and world from a multiscale approach, immersed in present-day economic globalization. Its aim is to shed light on debates concerning the geographic place in both academic and school-based geography, hence identifying and analysing the theoretical foundations required to foster reflections on pedagogical classroom practices.
