Abstract
The aim of this article is to present research about cartography for school children carried out in the Research Laboratory for the teaching of Geography and Cartography (LABENCARTOGEO) of the Postgraduate Program in Geography of the Geoscience and Exact Sciences Institute of the State University of São Paulo (Rio Claro Campus, São Paulo, Brazil). This laboratory was created/founded in 2005 with the objective of carrying out research with teachers and schools, based on the Qualitative Research of Education approach. Since 1996, we have conducted theoretical studies using this methodology. However, in this article we are going to include information from previous studies so that the reader can follow our line of approach. We are going to present you with some background information regarding studies of teaching maps to children in Brazil, with the purpose of embedding the themes that we investigated in our research framework. At the end we will recommend future directions for the research to be conducted by researchers from LABENCARTOGEO.
