Abstract

The article presents part of a research that was dedicated to reflect on the youth category and its relation with the teaching of Geography. The research was guided by the objective of analyzing the meanings that the young students of Integrated Vocational Education at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Tocantins (IFTO) attribute to the teaching of Geography. The results show that the young people present multiple identities and conceive the school, the education and the teaching of Geography in different aspects. As for Geography teaching, it became evident that young people like discipline and recognize it as important for understanding everyday problems. It is noticed that the daily life of young people offers a variety of themes that can be worked on in Geography classes and that it is necessary to move forward in this type of research, because with the changes that have occurred since high school reform, it imposes new paths both for teachers as well as students and understanding them is critical to unraveling them.
