Abstract

It's a monograph is bibliographical in nature, based on the reading and interpretation of works by renowned authors in Geography and Geographic Education. Its objective is to analyze how students’ environmental perception can be developed through the teaching of Geography, in accordance with the guidelines of the Curriculum of Reference of state of Mato Grosso do Sul (Reference Curriculum of Mato Grosso do Sul). From the analysis of these theoretical frameworks, the study seeks to understand how Geography teachers, by working with concepts such as space, place, landscape, region, and territory, can create opportunities to integrate environmental themes into their lessons in a cross-cutting manner. The paper argues that by connecting the curriculum content with students’ lived realities and everyday spatial perceptions, teachers can enhance students’ critical awareness, encourage reflection on environmental issues, and promote values oriented toward sustainability.
