The Interaction of Students with the Cultural Context Surrounding the School: Reflections on the Pedagogical Intervention Project in Geography

Abstract

The review analyzes the book A Interação dos Estudantes com o Contexto Cultural do Entorno da Escola: O Projeto de Intervenção Pedagógica Aplicado no Estágio Supervisionado em Geografia, by Rodrigo Marciel Soares Dutra, which presents an innovative pedagogical proposal for Geography teaching. The work recounts the experience of the Pedagogical Intervention Project (PIP) carried out at Professor José Carlos de Almeida State School, in Goiânia, and highlights the importance of connecting students to the local cultural context. The author explores concepts such as place and culture, as well as the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as educational tools. Based on a detailed study of the cultural heritage of Goiânia's Central Sector, especially the Art Deco architectural style, Dutra proposes strategies to enhance student engagement in cultural and artistic activities. The review emphasizes the contributions of the book to teacher training and the construction of a contextualized and transformative Geography Education, while also pointing out its limitations and suggesting reflections on the replicability of the model in different contexts.
