Geography, History and Natural Sciences: an interdisciplinary teaching approach with GIS

Geographic Information System (GIS) is a technology that deals with location to support better representations and decision making. It has a long tradition in several planning areas, such as urbanism, environment, riskiness, transportation, archeology or tourism. In academics context higher education has followed that evolution. Despite of their potentialities in education, GIS technologies at the elementary and secondary have been underused. Empowering graduates to learn with GIS and to manipulate spatial data can effectively facilitate the teaching of critical thinking. Likewise it has been recognized that GIS tools can be incorporated as an interdisciplinary pedagogical tool. Nevertheless more practical examples on how GIS tools can enhance teaching and learning process, namely to promote interdisciplinary approaches. The proposed paper presents some results obtained from the project “Each thing in its place: the science in time and space”. This project results from the effort of three professors of Geography, History and Natural Sciences in the context of Didactics of World Knowledge curricular unit to enhance interdisciplinarity through Geographic Information Technologies (GIT). Implemented during the last three years this action-research project developed the research practice using GIS to create an interdisciplinary attitude in the future primary education teachers. More than teaching GIS the authors were focused on teaching with GIS to create an integrated vision where spatial data representation linked the space, the time and natural sciences. Accumulated experience reveals that those technologies can motivate students to learn and facilitating teacher’s interdisciplinary work.

Medical geography and phthisic immunity in the high altitudes: The origins of a Therapeutic hypothesis

Medical geography expanded considerably in the 19 th century. Its expansion was aided by a Neo-Hippocratic trend in medical thinking, progress in statistics and hygiene, and an overall vision of geography formulated early in the century by French and German geographers inspired by Alexander von Humboldt. By tracing out the process that prompted certain « doctor-geographers » to put forth the hypothesis of immunity phthisis in elevated regions, this article seeks to show how various trends in medical geography led to the establishment of the « altitude cure » as a treatment for tuberculosis.

Charles P. Daly's Gendered Geography, 1860-1890

The American Geographical Society (AGS) serves as a case study for considering the nature of “gendered geography” in the nineteenth-century United States. This article links the ideals and programmatic interests of the society—which were fundamentally commercial in nature—with the personal subjectivity of its chief protagonist, Charles P. Daly, AGS president from 1864 until his death in 1899. Daly is presented as an “armchair explorer” who shifted the focus of the society away from statistical representations of the world toward the action packed narrative descriptions of the world supplied by embodied explorers in the field. The gender dynamics associated with the center versus the field provide a useful way to contrast both sides of Daly’s persona—as a scholar performing detached, careful study yet someone who also derived a great deal of personal authority by staging popular and dramatic spectacles in New York City, speechifying and presenting himself on stage at geographical society meetings with returning heroic explorers. Daly not only served as New York’ smost influential access point to the Arctic at the time, he also served as an important node in the reproduction of masculine culture in promotion of a particularly masculinist commercial geography. Key Words: American Geographical Society, Charles Patrick Daly, gender and geography, history of geography, masculinity.

O desenvolvimento de competências específicas na área curricular de História e Geografia de Portugal em sete alunos com necessidades educativas especiais numa turma do 5º ano de escolaridade

O presente trabalho incide sobre a problemática do ensino/aprendizagem da História e Geografia de Portugal numa turma de 5ºano com sete alunos portadores de Necessidades Educativas Especiais : dois alunos com espectro do autismo; dois com Hiperactividade e Deficit de Atenção; um com Síndrome de Prader Willi; um com atraso global do desenvolvimento e outro com uma disfunção comportamental grave. A observação , o estudo e a pesquisa foi o caminho seguido no sentido de (re)produzir uma metodologia adequada a uma turma com tal diversidade, numa perspectiva de escola aberta a todos, onde todos aprendem juntos independentemente das suas dificuldades , no respeito pelos ritmos e estilos de aprendizagem de cada um. No sentido de superar as práticas tradicionais, isto é superar o ensinar a todos como se fossem um, seguimos as orientações de Perrenoud (2000) que propõe a adopção da pedagogia diferenciada como resposta pertinente às exigências de uma escola para todos. A gestão das diferentes necessidades e características dos alunos, e a reorganização /recriação de conteúdos e/ou metodologias e /ou materiais que melhor respondessem a essa diversidade permitiram a aquisição das competências curricularmente consideradas necessárias ao cumprimento da escolaridade obrigatória. Confirmamos assim, que é possível que todos aprendam de modos diferentes, tal como prediz um antigo provérbio chinês, todos atingem o cume da montanha ainda que percorrendo caminhos muito diversos.

A Promoção da Cidadania no Ensino da História e da Geografia

O presente relatório descreve a Prática de Ensino Supervisionada (PES) inserida no Mestrado em Ensino de História e de Geografia no 3.º ciclo do Ensino Básico e no Ensino Secundário. Esta prática desenvolveu-se em três turmas do 3.º ciclo do Ensino Básico da Escola Secundária Seomara da Costa Primo no ano letivo de 2013-2014. A Educação para a Cidadania é uma preocupação intrínseca ao sistema educativo no sentido de preparar os alunos para uma intervenção cívica ativa. No âmbito da PES, pretendeu-se que os alunos, nas aulas de História e de Geografia, adquirissem não só conhecimentos científicos mas também competências e atitudes que lhes permitam assumir o seu lugar enquanto cidadãos, com um papel crítico e interveniente na sociedade. Neste relatório faz-se uma breve contextualização do tema central desta prática: a cidadania; apresentam-se algumas das experiências de ensino-aprendizagem desenvolvidas com os alunos, e, por último, são enunciados os resultados de um pequeno estudo sobre as opiniões dos alunos acerca da importância da cidadania no ensino da História e no ensino da Geografia.
