APPLICATION OF FANZINES IN A CLASSROOM AS A PEDAGOGICAL RESOURCE AND DEVELOPMENT OF SCHOOL LEARNING IN THE BRAZILIAN SEMIARID

Abstract

The following manuscript approaches the use of fanzines as a didactic teaching resource in geography classes in a 9th-grade class. The main objective was to verify the performance of the fanzine as a teaching and learning resource in the classroom in geography classes in the search for the process of knowledge construction. The research has a basis on the assumption that fanzines could make learning more enjoyable, fun, playful, and, therefore, more significant in terms of school learning. It took place at the Waldemar Barroso Municipal School for child and elementary education in Fortaleza/Ceará. The research included the applicability, production, and construction of fanzines by 9th-grade students, based on their perception of the geographic theme environment and globalization. With this, it is noticeable how meaningful theory is with the application of practice and approximation with reality from the students' point of view regarding the subject. Besides, the collected information about the issue served to count the distribution of perception of students in fanzines with the purpose of learning analytics. As a result, the work awakened participation, motivation, and the perception of seeing the world through the students' vision, providing more significant learning, more attractive and greater participation, and school performance of the students in the classroom.
