Psychopedagogy applied to geography teaching:

overcoming learning barriers

Abstract

This article is part of a conclusion work for a specialization course in Psychopedagogy and seeks to reflect on the contributions of psychopedagogical approaches to the teaching of Geography, analyzing their support for identifying and implementing more effective strategies for students with difficulties in learning. By exploring the intersection between psychology and pedagogy, psychopedagogy offers an integrated approach to identifying and addressing barriers to learning, thus promoting a more inclusive school environment conducive to students' cognitive and socio-emotional development. To achieve the proposed objectives, bibliographic research and activities with a psychopedagogical bias were carried out in Geography classes at a public school in the city of Fátima do Sul/MS. As a result of the proposed activities, it was noticeable that learning became more enjoyable and meaningful for students, in addition to enabling their active participation in the process of building their geographic knowledge.
