Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze and discuss the role of teaching materials as facilitators in the teaching-learning process regarding soil use in Geography and to contribute to the debate on the importance of teaching materials as facilitators in the teaching-learning process, especially when dealing with complex content such as that related to soils in Geography. Through literature review and analysis of case studies, it is intended to provide insights and guidelines that can guide educators in the appropriate selection and use of teaching materials. In this regard, the proposed teaching material played a crucial role as a methodological tool, effectively and significantly contributing to the assimilation of scientific knowledge by students. It was observed that both resources and experiments were essential to stimulate tangible enthusiasm regarding the topics covered, providing a motivating approach. The material offered students contexts that strengthened the understanding of the importance of teaching and the use of soil.
