SUMMARY:

This work arises from my work as a Geography teacher in public schools at elementary and secondary levels. Several concerns arose over time, mainly related to better use of cartographic content in the classroom, with a view to stimulating students’ critical sense and spatial reasoning. In this context, mental maps, as they are representations that do not require all the methodological rigor of conventional cartographic representations, present themselves as an interesting didactic-pedagogical resource to be worked on with Elementary School students. The students in question study in 6th and 7th year classes at Escola Municipal Benedito dos Santos Barbosa, the school where I teach, in the Monsuaba neighborhood in Angra dos Reis – RJ. The important characteristic of this city is a spatial production process marked by an exclusionary and contradictory model, with the implementation of large business and infrastructure projects, in addition to a tourism development proposal aimed at wealthier layers of society. This entire context influences the dynamics and local social arrangement, impacting access to basic rights, such as leisure. Therefore, this work aims to analyze the use of mental maps in Geography classes in Elementary School II, relating the touristification process in the municipality of Angra dos Reis with the leisure possibilities of these students. For this, the methodological proposal of Action-research is used, which is characterized by the active participation of the subjects involved in the research. In this way, the researcher and the participants in the researched situation act in cooperation. In this context, we sought to articulate the theoretical framework with classroom practice, the latter consisting of thematic classes, interviews/questionnaires, cartographic literacy workshops, the creation of mental maps and joint analysis of the results. It was then realized that cartography, through the use of mental maps as a teaching tool, contributed substantially to the debates surrounding the production of local space and the right to leisure and, consequently, to the teaching-learning process.
