THE STATUS OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SCHOOL CARTOGRAPHY IN THE ANNALS OF THE NEPEG 2014-2022 NATIONAL FORUM

Abstract

The general objective of this work is to analyze the articles published in the annals of the NEPEG National Forum related to School Cartography, between the 7th and 11th editions, relating to the period 2014 to 2022. The methodology for the analysis of the 40 articles found follows the proposal by Pinheiro (2017) for the state of knowledge and guidelines for the definition of themes. They were selected according to two criteria, namely: the link to the work group (GT) entitled “Languages for geography teaching” and the presence of a discussion focused on School Cartography. Therefore, these publications were divided into four general themes: 1. Cartographic resources; 2. Geotechnologies and Information and Communication Technologies; 3. Cartographic language in teaching; and 4. Tactile cartography and special education in Geography. These themes present the following transversal themes: a – methodology and didactics; b – concepts and themes; c – teaching practices and educational actions. The plurality of School Cartography proposals is identified by means of the association with teaching methodologies, languages, technologies, inclusion of minority groups (with or without disabilities) and content for the work of spatial interpretation in geography classes.
