DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR TEACHING GEOGRAPHY: a didactic proposal on globalization, consumption, and environmental impacts

Abstract

Globalization is a subject of study in Geography and should be discussed with students, as it encompasses various dimensions of global society, including political, economic, cultural, technological, and environmental aspects. With a qualitative and descriptive approach, this experience report presents a didactic proposal developed in a public school of the state network. The theoretical framework is mainly based on the work of Santos (2012) for the discussion of the globalization process and its consequences, and it is also aligned with the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC, 2018), a guiding normative document for Brazilian national education. The proposal aimed to integrate Digital Technologies into pedagogical practice, facilitating the understanding of content about globalization, consumerism, and their environmental impacts. The didactic sequence, conducted over eight class hours, took place during the daily routine of the doctoral teacher, combining lectures and collaborative practical activities. At the end of the experience, it was found that the discussions were significant for teaching and learning. Additionally, the final work presented during Environmental Week contributed to raising environmental awareness and expanding the reach of the content to the school community, consolidating the proposed objectives.
