A INFLUÊNCIA DA GLOBALIZAÇÃO NOS SISTEMAS DE TRANSPORTE E SUA REPRESENTAÇÃO NOS LIVROS DIDÁTICOS

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the influence of globalization on transportation systems and how this topic is addressed in Geography textbooks aimed at students in the final years of elementary school and high school. Globalization has promoted significant changes in transportation systems, connecting regions and countries more efficiently and quickly. Therefore, it is essential that Geography textbooks present these transformations clearly, providing a critical analysis for students. The research will use the collections Araribá Conecta - Geography, aimed at students in the 6th to 9th grades of elementary school, and Territory and Society in the Globalized World, aimed at students in the 1st to 3rd year of high school, both from recognized publishers. Aligned with the guidelines of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), the study will examine how textbooks address the topic of transportation in the context of globalization, considering the skills and abilities required by the BNCC for teaching Geography. The research will seek to identify how transportation systems are presented, assess the adequacy of the content to the curriculum and suggest improvements to ensure that students acquire a critical and conscious education on the subject. The analysis aims to contribute to the evolution of teaching materials, considering the fundamental role of the textbook as a meeting point between academic knowledge and the students' experience, as highlighted by Silva (2006).
