Geographical reasoning. National Common Curriculum Base (BNCC). Smart Cities. New High School.
During the end of 2021, most schools in Brazil were preparing to start the New Middle School (NEM) the following year, while a few others had already started this process. This dissertation proposes to present the teacher/researcher's account of how a curricular component on Smart Cities was developed and how this experience promoted the didactic product of the curricular component of Smart Cities (CI). Created within the school needs and the mandatory application of the New High School, using the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), the research in question
it fits as a translational and qualitative investigation. This classification is due to the fact that it occurred concomitantly with the professional master's program in teaching Geography on a national network (ProfGeo) and the application of classes in the curricular component of Smart Cities. The present study is within
of the line of research “Knowledge and knowledge of Geography in the school environment”. The problematization of this dissertation takes place through the following research question: how can skills related to geographic thinking be developed through
of a curricular component on Smart Cities in the context of New High School?

The research in question seeks as specific objectives to understand how the concept of smart cities was applied in New High School; investigate how the curricular components of geography addressed urbanization, smart cities (CI) and information and communication technologies (ICT); review of skills and competencies of the characteristics specified by the BNCC, which
could justify the inclusion in the course content of Smart Cities; and also evaluate the relevance of using geographic thinking in the development of the Smart City course content through reasoning, concepts and languages.
