Encontros de ensino de História como espaçostempo de pesquisa: o professor-pesquisador e o estudante-pesquisador nos cotidianos escolares

Abstract

This text is the result of some meetings. Classroom meetings, History meetings, discussion meetings, life meetings. Those meetings produced some new threads, which have woven together and joined a net that associated questions about school routine, History teaching, teacher s training, evening school and research in the classroom. The aim was to understand if school is a research time-space and if pupils are researcher-students and also if teachers are researcher-teachers. By the conclusion of the research, developed in an evening public school in Rio de Janeiro, we could share the daily experiences of its practitioners and discuss if school provides research actions among students, and also if it tries to develop activities from the pupil s interest. The school is a research place and we are researcher-students and researcher-teachers, even though, in many circumstances, school, as it is organized, under various internal and external pressures, such as, for instance, the failure in teacher s training and the teaching public politics, denies pupil s interests. In this kind of organization, students are not able to recognize themselves as conductors of their own learning-teaching process, researcher students and teachers. It is the research experience, from activities which stimulate students to make choices, search for information, analyze and criticize them, organize their thought, appropriate themselves of the gathered acknowledgment and have a position in society, changing themselves, the final result will be the critical citizens, who should be educated under the assistance of school and History teaching.
