A utilização de charges e tiras humorísticas como recurso didático-pedagógico mobilizador no processo de ensino-aprendizagem da Geografia

This study aimed to evaluate the use of political cartoons and comic strips as teaching resources in the teaching and learning of geography. Emphasis was given to Environmental Geography, correlating the content covered with selected images. Literature and field searches were conducted with students of the Geography degree from two Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the city of Campina Grande-PB, where the critical-reflective analysis of graphic representations above was carried out. It was concluded that the use of political cartoons and comic strips is a strategic resource for teachers. These resources presented themselves as potentials to be explored and disseminated in the educational context because besides arousing students’ curiosity it makes them become interested in the content which is transmitted and built through it
