Abstract

The mission of Geography in teaching is to teach students how to read the geographic space, in its various scales and dimensions, in particular Physical Geography, which refers to the study of the Earth's natural dynamics and the derivations arising from anthropic action on nature. There are several studies that have questioned the didactic treatment given to the physical themes of Geography, both in the teaching practices adopted by teachers in the classroom, and in the didactic materials. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the approach to physical-natural content in the Geography textbooks of Elementary Education II, used in State Schools in the municipality of Uraí, state of Paraná. Methodologically, the research was carried out by reading specialized bibliographies on the subject; preparation of an evaluation form for textbooks; evaluation of the Geography textbooks of Elementary Education adopted in the State Schools of Uraí-PR. In this research, there is a predominance of the traditional approach to physical-natural content, with a focus on describing the natural picture of the planet, with little or no connection with human activities and environmental impacts.
