ATLAS DIGITAL DO IFMA, CAMPUS SÃO RAIMUNDO DAS MANGABEIRAS: UMA FERRAMENTA EDUCACIONAL

Abstract

Information and communication technologies, as well as technologies in general, have been introduced into people's lives, in order to consider themselves as an extension of the human body, in the way people relate and interact with each other. This work aims to produce a Geographic and Lexicographic Atlas specifically for the IFMA-Campus São Raimundo das Mangabeiras/MA area, as an educational product. The study was carried out in four articles, the first one was made a state of the art with the objective of discovering how the researches involving digital atlases as an educational product are showing. In the second chapter, a bibliographic review article on digital atlas and lexicography was produced. The third chapter is also a bibliographic review on the use of geotechnologies in the teaching and learning process and, finally, an article comprising the presentation and development of the IFMA Digital Geographic and Lexicographic Atlas educational product – Campus São Raimundo das Mangabeiras/MA. With this research, we consider that the educational product developed can positively impact the teaching and learning process, considering that this campus has a page on the IFMA website, which can be made available on the internet for use by both students of face-to-face courses and also distance learning courses and society in general. Finally, in view of the work carried out, no atlas was found involving the disciplines of Geography, Biology and Portuguese Language in the same educational product, allowing its application in an interdisciplinary way.
