Limits and possibilities of the physical-natural themes in the national curricular common base: Analyzing the final years of the secondary school

Abstract

The objective of this work is to understand the operation of modes of reasoning (JO and BEDNARZ, 2009) and thinking skills (ANDERSON and KRATHWOHL, 2001) in the production of spatial concepts related to physical-natural themes, considering the BNCC years of elementary school. These analyzes allowed to conclude that the physical-natural subjects are privileged levels of understanding and processing in the field of reasoning operations, as well as the exploration of complex spatial concepts. At the end, it is necessary to rescue observation as the primary ability to produce geographic knowledge, to rescue the idea of the geographical situation in the direction of the production of significant meanings for the physical-natural themes in multiple school realities.
