Transversalidade no ensino de geografia: uma proposta de integração com foco no desenvolvimento identitário de estudantes do ensino médio integrado do IFMS

Abstract

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Brazilian teenagers were deprived of social interaction, including at school. This phenomenon may have triggered numerous psychosocial problems, including the difficulty in assuming responsibilities, a situation that directly impacts the development of the mature identity of high school students. At this stage of education, adolescents form resources for the constitution of their adult identity, which are essential for them to be able to respond positively to social situations that require intrapersonal and interpersonal skills such as: assertiveness, the ability to listen and communicate, and confidence. Therefore, the psychosocial development of students who attended part of high school completely isolated from school and social life is questioned with the development of this research, whose objective is to analyze the psychosocial development of students completing integrated high school at the Federal Institute in 2022. of Mato Grosso do Sul, Nova Andradina campus, in order to propose as an educational product a didactic sequence of Geography knowledge with a focus on the identity development of students. To achieve the general objective, we had the following specific objectives: 1) analyze the identity status of students completing Integrated High School at IFMS, Nova Andradina campus in 2022; 2) identify concerns that represent obstacles to academic or professional progression for students; 3) develop a Geography teaching sequence, as an educational product, focusing on students' identity development. This is qualitative research as it uses the GIDS questionnaire (The Groningen Identity Development Scale), a scale that assesses identity development in adolescence, and questionnaires with essay questions to evaluate psychosocial aspects of these students, as well as evaluating the educational product. The method used to carry out the research was problematization with the Maguerez Arch. The analysis regarding the psychosocial development of the students revealed that they are in a state of established identity, however, the occupational aspect, in the ideological dimension, and friendship, in the interpersonal dimension, showed a low level of development. Teenagers experience a lot of financial instability, which leads to insecurity when having to choose a higher education course and, consequently, a professional career. In order to contribute to what may be the reality of other high school students, a didactic sequence was designed, developed and evaluated, as an Educational Product, whose focus is the development of social skills, such as strengthening friendships, and ideological skills,with aimed at professional and academic progression.
