Inserido no âmbito do Mestrado em Ensino de Geografia, na unidade curricular de
Iniciação à Prática Profissional III (IE/IGOT, UL), o presente relatório apresenta a experiência
didática conduzida na Prática de Ensino Supervisionada junto da turma do 7º C do Colégio de
S. Tomás de Lisboa. Esta instituição de ensino, com implantação urbana, proporcionou um
objeto de estudo adequado aos interesses de investigação, e reflete as perceções de um grupo
alunos de elevado nível socioeconómico. Assim, considerando os conteúdos desenvolvidos no
domínio didático Áreas de fixação humana, e no sentido de alargar o espetro do que é
Geografia, a intervenção pedagógica procurou que os alunos partilhassem as suas perceções
sobre Lisboa por meio de mapas mentais (diagnóstico e final), questionários e diários. Estes
instrumentos foram aplicados ao longo das sessões lecionadas de forma a (re)construir a
Imagem da Cidade de Lisboa, segundo três dimensões de análise: perceção espacial, perceção
cognitiva e a perceção sensorial-afetiva. Trata-se de um tópico de investigação que carece de
exploração pela literatura, nomeadamente orientada para o contexto escolar. O tratamento e
interpretação dos dados recolhidos evidencia uma imagem da cidade marcada pelos elementos
definidores de uma paisagem: landmarks, fronteira natural, eixos de comunicação, espaços
verdes e património cultural. Como tal, a perceção dos alunos é predominantemente espacial,
subalternizando as perceções cognitiva e sensorial-afetiva.
This report was written under the Initiation to Professional Practice III curricular unit of the master’s degree in Geography Teaching from the Institute of Education, University of Lisbon. The report describes the teaching developed for a 7th year class of students (13-yearsold in the Portuguese teaching system) at a private school in Lisbon (Colégio de S. Tomás). This school is located within the city and its students come from a wealthy and highly educated background. Given the importance of widening the understanding of what Geography deals with and given also that the 7th year Geography syllabus contains the topic Human Settlements, the research conducted here focused on recreating the students’ perceptions of Lisbon through an array of instruments, including mental maps, forms and diaries, filled in during teaching. The different instruments were designed to grasp the students’ Image of the City of Lisbon arising from their spatial, cognitive and sensorial-emotional perceptions. Thus, it was possible to take on this under-explored topic in the literature. The analysis of their data indicates that the image of the city constructed by the students is dominated by the defining features of a landscape: landmarks, natural borders, main roads and motorways, parks and heritage. In order words, this research suggests that perception of the city by this specific group of 13-years-old students is dominated by their spatial awareness, rather than by their cognitive or sensorialemotional perception.
