The didactic process is marked by the search for strategies to boost student learning. In this sense, one of the possibilities in teaching Geography is the use of Virtual Reality (VR), bringing different aspects of this discipline of knowledge to the classroom. Thus, this research sought to characterize the students' perception of a VR tool for teaching landscape in the curricular component of Geography, taking into account the practical positioning of the instrument used. For this, locations in Caxias do Sul, Gramado and Bento Gonçalves, all in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, were recorded with a 360-degree camera. A didactic sequence applied in the last year of high school at the IFRS - Caxias do Sul Campus was organized, using a VR eyepiece and a mobile phone coupled to view the videos, presenting them through youtube.com. A questionnaire supported by a Likert scale was used to measure perceptions and open questions for qualitative categorization. It is concluded that the proposal employed demonstrates challenges related to technical instruments, associated with the perception that knowledge about landscapes is improved with the use of VR and that the tool motivates and engages students. Together, the handling and understanding of the VR equipment was evidenced as a facilitator on the technology to be used in the world of labor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
