O ensino de História nos anos iniciais em Piranhas e Olho d'Água do Casado - AL

Abstract

The teaching of history is important in the process of formation of subjects' identities, in the process of socio-historical valorization, belonging, political, social and cultural perspective. The general objective of analyzing history teaching from the perspective of local history in Olho D'Água do Casado and Piranhas / AL (1980-2017), specifically investigated the methodological practices of history teaching in the early years in these municipalities and finally We discuss the relationship of history and local identity. Thus, the theoretical basis that supported the research made use of the readings and research of Circe Maria Fernandes Bittencourt (2008, 2011) and Itamar Freitas (2010), Elza Nadai (2001), Jaime Pynsky and Carla Pinsky (2007) discussing history teaching, Antonio Carlos Gil (2008) from a methodological perspective, Le Goff (1994) conceiving History, Carmen Gil Zeli de Vargas (2012), Janaina Amado and Marieta de Moraes Ferreira (2006) and Heloísa Dupas Penteado (1994). The importance of discussing the process of subject formation is possible through the teaching of history and the appreciation of the city to which it belongs. The social and scientific relevance of this research is structured in the problematization of the teaching of history in two historical cities of the interior of Alagoas. The methodological content of the research is the critical historical method, having as instrument of data production the participant observation and the semi-structured interviews. The techniques and analyzes of these data have reference in the content analysis. The results allow us to realize that the discipline is still treated, in most cases, as decorative and, when dealing with the teaching of local history it is noticeable that in the early years the commemorative dates are restricted. The approach of contents in days or weeks before the date of political emancipation of each municipality. The comparative analysis between the two municipalities shows that in Olho D’Água do Casado there is a discipline Regional History, but there is no material, formative support and methodological instruments of the teachers who teach the discipline. In Piranhas, the result is very similar, the discipline Piranhas Culture was inserted in the curriculum, but without training and with little material or possible references of content.
