Formação docente e geografia escolar: um estudo de caso entre Brasil e Espanha

O livro de João Pedro Pezzato discute a atual organização curricular dos cursos de formação de professores de Geografia, comparando com viés crítico as experiências da Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, da Espanha, e do Curso de Licenciatura em Geografia da Unesp de Rio Claro, interior de São Paulo. Para Pezzato, enquanto na Espanha todas as disciplinas estão relacionadas com os conhecimentos específicos da área, percebe-se no Brasil o predomínio de um modelo conceitual no qual os conteúdos pedagógicos de algumas disciplinas não têm nenhuma articulação com a própria Geografia. O resultado é, muitas vezes, o divórcio entre a componente científica específica e aquela mais diretamente relacionada com as questões educativas. O pesquisador chama a atenção ainda para a falta de articulação entre pesquisa e ensino, e para a rala distinção, no Brasil, entre a formação de bacharéis e de licenciados em Geografia, já que não existem diferenças significativas entre os componentes curriculares das duas modalidades. Por isso, para ele é premente a adoção de inovações curriculares no ensino da Geografia, inclusive no que diz respeito ao ensino da leitura e da escrita no contexto da disciplina.

Geografia dos movimentos socioterritoriais no Brasil de 2000 à 2012

The struggle for land is not a recent theme in Brazilian history. Since colonization, people have fought and resisted against oppression and injustice in the countryside, as can be evidenced by the highwaymen, peasant leagues and the war of Canudos. More recently, the struggle for land and agrarian reform can be evidenced by the struggles of the MST, CONTAG, CPT and other movements. For these movements, denominated as socioterritorial movements, land/territory is an essential condition for their existence and for the maintenance of their territoriality. The present paper examines the geography of socioterritorial moviments: the construction of the concept of socioterritorial movements and their forms of action and scales of actuation in the period 2000 to 2012, focusing on the movements that have been most active. These movements are studied through as analysis of data of the Land Struggle Data Base (Banco de Dados da Luta pela Terra –DATALUTA), print and digital media reports and a bibliographic survey of the literature. The action of socioterritorial movements can be studied through the forms of land occupations and demonstrations in the countryside which are the principal means of the struggle against large landholders, agribusiness and the State. These actions question the model of development which privileges agribusiness and, as such, are viewed by some as a hindrance to the development of the country. Over the years, the number of socioterritorial moviments, and their actions have oscillated due to a series of factors, such as repression (criminalization of members and violence against them), policies adopted by Brazilian governments and the contradictions inherent in very process of the spacialization of the struggle for land. These actions can be analyzed according to the scale of the struggle of the movements – municipal, micro-regional, state, macro-regional, and national

Geografia da mortalidade no trânsito no Brasil

In road safety studies that involve accidents comparisons in distinct geographical spaces or in different periods of time in the same geographical space, the index which lists the number of traffic fatalities with the distance traveled by road transport vehicles is considered more appropriate than the rates related to the population or the fleet. In this paper, the results of an original research are presented, in which the values of the rate of traffic deaths per billion kilometers traveled (IMBQ) by the motor vehicle fleet in Brazil and in each state of the country were estimated. The evaluation was performed based on the official number of fatalities provided by the Ministry of Health and on the amount of fuel sold informed by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels. In 2009, Brazil presented an index of 52.84 fatalities per billion kilometers, which reveals an extremely alarming situation considering that this value is from 7 to 12 times higher than the one for more developed countries. An important correlation between the death index in the states and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita was observed; in general, the less economically developed is the state, it means, lowest GDP, higher is the IMBQ.
