Knowledge of relief content: methodological contributions

Abstract

On a general way, we appraise that methodological discussions in Geography works are yet very shy. Not rarely, papers and reports, both qualitative or quantitative, show their methodology in a partial manner, without explaining theoretical basis, dilemmas, doubts and the identification of possibilities which drove to this or that way. We consider that such approach may limit the understanding of a research records and the acknowledgement/scientific validation from pairs in other fields. With these points in mind, this work was formulated, with the objective of showing actions dedicated to the investigation of knowledge inside the relief subject, mobilized by Geography teachers for building of pedagogical practices on basic education. Such effort, we hope, may contribute to the understanding of the methodology as a consequence of dialogue between these aspects and the questions we try to answer in a investigation. Keywords: methodology, teaching knowledge, knowledge of content
