Geography Teaching; physical-natural components; riverside; pedagogical intervention.
The school routine in the riverside zone of the Amazon is a reality of entanglements and dissimilarities in relation to the physical attributes, the social characteristics, the routine and the totalities and subjectivities of the people who inhabit this space of the living forest and the waters that surround them, adapting and experiencing the rich environment, giving rise to a multiplicity of knowledge and practices and a unique connection with the environment that inspires intense and profound reflections on numerous social, cultural, economic, political and, above all, educational issues. Education in the Amazon faces many specific challenges that make it difficult to fully build knowledge in schools in the riverside area ofthe Amazon. After a period of continuous contact and teaching activity in two schools in riverside communities, where the pleasures and displeasures of the reality in question were revealed and where great methodological challenges related to the discipline of Geography were manifested, the possibility of developing the project to be described, which is linked to the Professional Master's Program in Geography Teaching in National Network - PROFGEO, associated with the University of Brasília - UNB, as a Pedagogical Intervention Project in Geography, presented as a requirement to obtain the title of Master in Geography Teaching. Unlike the other urban schools in the municipality, the riverside schools operate through a plan called the Itinerant Education Project, managed by the Rural District Division of the Municipal Education Department of Manaus and is subsidized by resolution 004/CME/2014. Faced with a series of organizational, organic, structural and historical issues related to the Itinerant Project and the riverside school reality, this research project emerges as a response to the needs and challenges that were witnessed during the teaching period in these schools. Its objective is to unify the knowledge acquired by students through experiences with theoretical and scientific knowledge obtained by the school subject of Geography through a pedagogical intervention, this unification aims to provide a better understanding of the physical and natural elements of the place where they live, as well as as a greater knowledge of local specificities and social reality.
