SUMMARY:

The presence of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICTs) in School Geography highlights the need for transformations in pedagogical practices that go beyond merely instrumental use. In Geography teaching, these technologies can foster practices connected to students’ digital experiences and to the development of geographical reasoning through critical analysis of space, especially when articulated with audiovisual language. This research aimed to design a didactic guide for the production of videocasts on the theme of globalization, intended for 9th-grade classes in middle school, based on the guidelines of the BNCC and the DCRN. In addition, it sought to implement the educational product in a sample of students from the empirical field of the investigation. The problem addressed relates to the need to bring Geography teaching closer to students’ digital experiences, tackling challenges such as classroom distraction, the predominance of purely instrumental use of DICTs, and the lack of studies on the impacts of videocasts on the construction of geographical knowledge. The use of this resource proves to be promising and powerful, as it integrates sound, image, and content, engaging with different student profiles and fostering both student protagonism and geographical reasoning. The research adopts a qualitative approach, grounded in Minayo (2014), by considering aspects related to meanings, values, and social practices in the educational context. Methodologically, bibliographical and documentary research were carried out. The theoretical-conceptual framework includes authors who discuss Geography teaching and School Geography (Cavalcanti, 2003, 2012, 2024; Callai, 2005; Castrogiovanni, 2007; Costa & Ianni, 2018, among others), educational technologies (Moran, 2007; Kenski, 2012; Silva & Canto, 2021), DICTs (Lévy, 1999; Couto, 2014; Pereira & Schuhmacher, 2021), globalization (Santos, 2010, among others), and the use of podcasts and videocasts in education (Canavilhas, 2001; Foschini, 2018; Rosa, 2022). Regarding documents, the study draws on the BNCC (2018) and the DCRN/EF (2018), focusing on the knowledge objects and skills related to globalization for the 9th grade. The results indicate that the videocast represents a promising and powerful possibility for pedagogical practices capable of mediating meaningful learning and contributing to the construction of consistent geographical reasoning. From this perspective, the educational product also proved effective in broadening teachers’ repertoire and pedagogical possibilities, offering material that supports the discussion of globalization in middle school, promotes the integration of DICTs into the school routine, breaks with the merely instrumental use of technologies, and enhances students’ autonomy and protagonism, with Geography playing an indispensable role in civic education.
