Abstract

This study analyzes cartography in the Curriculum Reference of Mato Grosso do Sul, with the main objective of examining how cartography is addressed in high school education in schools within the municipality of Três Lagoas-MS. The research, qualitative and exploratory in nature, included the analysis of normative documents, a literature review, and interviews with high school Geography teachers. The study aimed to understand how cartography is presented in the curriculum document and to explore teachers' perceptions regarding the challenges they face and the methodologies employed to overcome these difficulties. The results highlight the need to expand the approach to cartography, particularly within the set of competencies and skills of the Geography curricular component, contributing to students' critical development and their ability to interpret geographic space. Thus, this study seeks to contribute to a broader understanding of cartography in high school education within the Mato Grosso do Sul curriculum and its implications for student development.
