Supported by a reading of Humanist Geography and the Theory of Significant Learning, the fieldwork is studied as an instrument capable of awakening an inclination in learning from the students’ emotions and feelings inserted in the space and the occurrence of learning in a significant way in spaces of non-formal education, in the view of the formation of more critical and conscious citizens. Therefore, two fieldworks with high school students from the integrated technical course of IFES, Campus Linhares, ES were accomplished. Data collection were performed with the use of recording instruments of perceptions and experiences of students in field with pictures and texts and confrontation situations, problems, interviews and dialogues in a direct contact with other realities.

Thus, it was possible to verify the fieldwork as effective in the development of a critical and investigative look and as a relevant procedure in the finding and production of students and teachers’ development in the promotion of Significant Learning, and the extension of its use in pedagogical practices of teaching regarded as important, mainly related to basic education.
