It was developed within the "Dynamics and Environmental Management in Subtropical Zones" research area of the Graduate Program in Geography at the State University of Western Paraná (UNIOESTE), Marechal Cândido Rondon Campus. This research aims to investigate the adoption of geotechnologies in the fourth and fifth grades of the 18 municipal schools in Marechal Cândido Rondon between 2024 and 2026, seeking to gain a deeper understanding of how they are utilized and the challenges limiting their more effective integration. The rapid adoption of digital technologies in schools and shifting student interests necessitate the adoption of new methodologies; thus, this study explores methodological alternatives suited to this context. Through a systematic literature review, the work analyzes the use of geotechnologies—such as Google Maps, Google Earth, digital cartography, and interactive maps—in geography classes, as well as teachers' perceptions regarding proposed practices and pedagogical potential. The theoretical framework encompasses concepts such as geoprocessing, geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, and geolocation, considering their pedagogical relevance and the specific characteristics of geography education in the early years. The study employs a qualitative design with descriptive and exploratory characteristics, integrating a literature review with data collection via an electronic questionnaire administered to teachers in the municipal school system. The total number of teachers who responded to the survey constitutes a representative sample for the study. This methodological approach enabled the identification and analysis of teachers' perceptions regarding the potential use of geotechnologies within their respective schools, providing an in-depth understanding of their views on the feasibility and applicability of these technological tools in their specific educational contexts. Subsequently, data were collected on the geotechnological practices adopted by these teachers as methodological aids. The results include a positive assessment of geotechnology use, the systematization of activities gathered from teachers, the identification of best practices, the formulation of proposals based on these suggestions, an understanding of pedagogical relevance, contributions to the theoretical framework, and guidelines for future implementation—all offering valuable insights for enhancing the integration of geotechnologies into geography education. However, the research also revealed significant challenges faced by teachers, most notably a lack of specific training and adequate preparation for using these technologies, as well as a limited range of equipment necessary for their effective classroom implementation. The use of geotechnologies in schools has generally been sporadic and unsystematic, often restricted to the digital interactive whiteboard—a fixed, teacher-centered tool that limits activities designed to foster student autonomy and active engagement. This setup can hinder collaborative practices, the development of inquiry skills, and the exploratory use of tools by students, although—despite these obstacles—it does not entirely prevent the execution of certain tasks.

La investigación parte de la problemática de comprender cómo estos trabajadores construyen sus trayectorias laborales, elaboran significados en torno al trabajo temporal y negocian sus condiciones de vida frente a las transformaciones provocadas por la expansión de la agroindustria regional. Al problematizar las interpretaciones que los presentan únicamente como sujetos determinados por las estructuras económicas, el estudio busca poner de relieve sus formas de agencia, sus estrategias de permanencia, movilidad y construcción identitaria. Fundamentada en los presupuestos de la Historia Social, con el respaldo de los estudios de Thompson (1978) y Scott (2011), y privilegiando la experiencia histórica de los sujetos y sus relaciones sociales, para la elaboración de este trabajo se utilizaron entrevistas realizadas a trabajadores, expedientes judiciales laborales, contratos de trabajo, recibos de salario y noticias periodísticas. El diálogo entre estas diferentes fuentes permitió analizar tanto las condiciones objetivas de inserción de estos trabajadores en el mercado laboral como las interpretaciones construidas por ellos acerca de sus propias experiencias. De este modo, el trabajo temporal no puede comprenderse únicamente como una expresión de la precarización de las relaciones laborales, sino también como un espacio de construcción de identidades, expectativas y elecciones, revelando la complejidad de las experiencias vividas por los trabajadores de los silos de almacenamiento de granos en la región occidental del estado de Paraná.

It further seeks to examine how those actors contributed towards the construction of a Vargas nation-state based on the ideology of racial harmony. The study focuses on the scenario of the state of São Paulo (capital of São Paulo) and the Federal District (Rio de Janeiro), articulating local dynamics with central government guidelines. The work seeks to unveil the narrative disputes and contradictions between the erasure of black protagonism by the official discourse, which monumentalized the figure of Princess Isabel as "Redeemer", and the resistance and political agency of organized black movements of the period. While centering on the year 1938 (the context of the fiftiethanniversary commemoration), the study also looks back at the years 1931–1937 to analyze the planning and trajectories of Black associations prior to the forced closures imposed by the Estado Novo dictatorship. To this end, the research draws on official documents (The Constitution of 1937 and the Decree-Law nº 427 of May 13, 1938 ) and correspondence (from the Gustavo Capanema Archive), on the commercial press and from mass circulation newspapers such as O Globo, O Jornal, Correio Paulistano and Revista do Arquivo Municipal de São Paulo (RAM), on the Black press and movement, considering the periodicals A Voz da Raça (associated with the Frente Negra Brasileira) and Clarim da Alvorada (associated with the Clube Negro de Cultura Social). The analysis of this commemorative event as a “place of memory” reveals the dispute over collective memory and national identity between the Estado Novo — occasionally backed by intellectuals — and Black associations. These associations had operated autonomously prior to the Estado Novo but, due to censorship, were forced to adopt a diluted and officially apolitical stance following the coup of November 10, 1937. The diverse types of sources helped construct a picture of a period overshadowed by the Integralist Uprising of May 11, 1938 — occurring just two days before the anniversary itself — which impacted the execution of planned commemorative activities. Consequently, the research sought to demonstrate how the fiftieth anniversary of abolition became a vehicle for the Getúlio Vargas government to monumentalize the past in the name of national identity, while simultaneously serving as a stage for political resistance by Black associations.

The western portion of the region, however, was more systematically colonized from the 1940s onward, with the creation of the Colônia Agrícola Nacional General Osório (CANGO), mainly through migrants from Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. This territory was already inhabited by Indigenous peoples and caboclos, which highlights the region’s social complexity. Within the context of CANGO’s activities, part of the land in the Southwest was involved in legal disputes. This conflictual scenario culminated in the Revolta dos Posseiros of 1957, an armed uprising that resulted in the expulsion of private colonization companies such as Clevelândia Industrial e Territorial Ltda. (CITLA). These companies engaged in land grabbing practices, using violence and armed militias, often in articulation with the state government of Paraná. Following their expulsion, the area was declared of public utility in 1962. In this context, the Grupo Executivo para as Terras do Sudoeste do Paraná (GETSOP) was created, with the purpose of regularizing land tenure, issuing property titles, and promoting agricultural modernization. Despite its activities until 1973, agrarian problems persisted, as evidenced by the loss of land among peasants due to indebtedness, forced sales, and limitations imposed by family succession. Simultaneously, initiatives of social and political organization emerged, such as the Associação de Estudos, Orientação e Assistência Rural (ASSESOAR), founded in 1966. Established by Belgian priests of the Congregation of the Sacred Heart Missionaries, with the participation of youth from the Juventude Agrária Católica (JAC), the organization developed actions inspired by the debates of the Second Vatican Council, including Reflection Groups, in which peasants critically analyzed their realities. Other entities, such as Rural Workers’ Unions, also played a significant role, becoming spaces of dispute between assistentialist and more combative perspectives during the 1970s. These experiences contributed to the formation of political, social, and class consciousness among peasants, who began to demand rights and better production conditions. This formative process, articulated with agricultural modernization and broader social contradictions, intensified the struggle for land, culminating in the creation of the Movimento dos Agricultores Sem Terra do Sudoeste do Paraná (MASTES) in 1983. The movement carried out land occupations and roadside encampments, pressuring the state for agrarian reform policies. This research aims to analyze the formative process of peasants in the region between the 1960s and 1980s, considering their organizational experiences and social practices. To this end, it examines the regional historical context, theoretical debates on the peasantry, and the work of ASSESOAR through three dimensions: community, knowledge, and economy. The analysis also includes MASTES and concrete achievements, such as the settlements José Eduardo Raduan and Vitória da União. The study is based on oral interviews with local leaders and documentary sources, including bulletins, booklets, newspapers, photographs, and institutional records produced during the period. It thus understands the Southwest of Paraná as a space of intense social and political struggles and of the formation of peasants as active historical subjects.
