Resumen
Geotechnologies have been a theme present in the approach of teaching Geography, both for
its pedagogical didactic potential and for the study of geographic space. However, it appears
that in several public schools in the State of Rio Grande do Norte little is considered the
pedagogical use of Geotechnologies in the teaching-learning process in the teaching of
Geography. In this sense, a methodological didactic proposal was thought to collaborate in the
understanding of geographic phenomena, through Digital Geocenarians in basic education and
beyond. In this context, our research problem considers that Geography textbooks in basic
education are insufficient to understand the geographic content according to studies by Martins
(2019). Thus, Digital Geocenarians can be a pedagogical resource with high potential to qualify
and innovate the teaching of this discipline, especially for the Landscape theme, allowing to
observe the same geographical content at different scales (local and global), interconnected to
different contexts in an interdisciplinary way and multidimensional. The study is guided by the
following question: What are the theoretical, methodological and didactic-pedagogical
contributions of Digital Geocenarians as resources that enhance the learning of teaching
Geography? The general objective is to develop Digital Geocenarians as a teaching language
applied in school Geography, through the elaboration of didactic scenarios that contemplate
different Geography themes. In this way, our analytical path aims to demonstrate how the
geographic contents presented from the perspective of Digital Geocenarians can contribute to
the achievement of the learning and teaching objectives with regard to the development of
geographical reasoning. Therefore, the following objectives were defined: a) elaborate a
diagnosis of teachers who teach Geography (final years of Elementary School of the Municipal
Network of Currais Novos / RN); b) build training activities with teachers participating in the
study about the use of Digital Geocenarians; c) to present experiences of teaching and learning
of Digital Geo-scenarios in the classroom in order to organize a didactic-pedagogical proposal
for the inclusion of this resource in the teaching of Geography. We will have as a theoretical
framework the studies of Bertrand (1971), Santos (1996) and Straforini (2004), in the search
for the theoretical, methodological and conceptual construction of Digital Geocenaries, as well
as the studies of Cavalcanti (1988) and Callai (2013) , who discuss the teaching of Geography
today. The applied study, of an exploratory and descriptive nature, is inserted in the qualitative
research-action research approach. It is considered that this proposal makes it possible to
expand the knowledge base of teachers in the field of Geography, with repercussions on
students' learning through Digital Geocenarians.
