• Abstract:

  This article seeks to reflect on the

  teaching and practice of the use of conceptual

  modeling that can assist the teaching-learning

  process of students in the classes of Geography

  in schools of the educational system of the State

  of Piauí (Brazil). This research was developed

  with Geography teachers in a training course

  for teachers for the use of Geotechnologies

  and Tools of Web interaction within the Federal

  Institute of Education, Science and Technology

  of Piauí (Brazil). As found by the analysis of

  data collected in this investigation, teachers

  agree that conceptual modeling contributes to

  the organization of the geographic knowledge

  of students. And yet it was evident the use

  of concept maps as a teaching and learning

  strategy, as well as an evaluation tool for student

  performance. Finally, the use of concept maps

  in teaching Geography brings up the idea of the

  development and exercise of autonomy by the

  students, since self-study is one of the essential

  factors for meaningful learning of spatial content

  in classroom.
