Abstract

This article objectifies to comprehend the Geography education contributions on the formation of the basic education students regarding the conceptions construction and deconstruction about the Goiana identities in Goiânia. How the students conceive what is to be Goiano? And what makes part of their identities? Throughout it we identify the major geographic elements used by the teachers for the construction and deconstruction of the identity speeches, the main reference was the students and teachers perception. The problems that are foreseen around the theme are that in the contemporaneity it is necessary to discuss the cultural diversity, the identity cultural and territory conflicts for that the students are able to recognize themselves as social cultural subject, building an environment of respect to the different identities. And still, the media and the State exert a role in the construction of these identities that can be analyzed by the Geography education. However, allying such thematic to the Geography education is a challenge. At first it was identified that the didactic books do not point the referred themes neither the Goiana cultural reality in their geographic interpretations. Teachers and students gave testimonials about this reality in the Geography education. The methodological procedures used to the fulfillment of this article were lectures, direct techniques in the field, interviews, questionnaires, mental maps, reports and photographs.
