Identificando tipos de consciência histórica: um olhar sobre os estudantes da 3° série da Escola Estadual Profa. Maria Margarez Santos Lacet (2020 – 2021)

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze and map the types of Historical Consciousness developed by students at Escola Estadual Professora Maria Margarez Santos Lacet during the first module of the second edition of the Residency Pedagogy Program, conducted between November 2020 and April 2021. The research sought to answer questions such as: How do students understand History? Are they able to connect the past and the present? What types of Historical Consciousness do they develop? What limitations in historical comprehension do they present?To address these questions, materials produced by the students were analyzed, with a particular focus on the prior knowledge questionnaire. The analysis centered on the construction of historical narratives by the students and the characterization of the types of Historical Consciousness—traditional, exemplary, critical, and genetic—based on Jörn Rüsen’s theory, alongside Bodo Von Borries’s discussions on historical incomprehension. It was observed that all twelve students who responded to the questionnaire expressed an appreciation for the discipline, albeit with varying levels of depth in their reasoning.The expected results include a more detailed understanding of how these students form their Historical Consciousness and the potential limitations encountered in their historical learning processes.
