Abstract

This research was conducted at the Federal Institute of Amapá and School Professor Gabriel Almeida Café courses in Building Technician and Technical Administration respectively, with two groups of 3rd year. Also, it was necessary to include the city of Jari Orangery, since it was part of our methodological proposal to develop content on the local space. Our goal was to discover the bibliographic production Geography of Amapá in public vocational schools of Amapá, meets or not the pedagogical needs of teachers and students. So were heard three students, 60 students of the courses mentioned above, and some residents of the municipality of Jari Orangery. The methodology was applied social research and oral history, where we could listen to our research subjects at various times, from informal and recorded conversations, semi-structured questionnaires with questions and finally built a decent oral when we experience implementation of an interdisciplinary project. It was observed that the textbook is not enough to address the local geography, because the Brazilian territoriality is very extensive. We understand that Brazil is made up of a diverse regional political, economic, social and environmental policies that is rich in terms of cultural aspects. In addition to this analysis, we realize that students and faculty are several barriers that hinder them to put into practice a process of teaching and learning in Geography Amapá that will satisfy them. As a methodological approach, an experiment was developed from the realization of an interdisciplinary project with the use of textbooks, texts geographic sites and oral collection, which explored Amapá geographical features in locus, where we obtained a very positive feedback. From this evidence will be proposed to the Federal Institute of Amapá and other schools working with the Middle School Integrated our research project, in order to continue the methodological proposal. As our investigations grants a broad literature review was performed
