História dos direitos do trabalho nos séculos XX e XXI: atividades para alunos do ensino médio da educação de jovens e adultos

Abstract

This dissertation aims to proposing activities on the history of labor rights in the 20th and 21st centuries for middle school students of youth and adult education using historical sources. The starting point for the conception of the material was the analysis of life stories of workers who exercised political militancy in the first half of the twentieth century. These and other sources raised the study not only of the struggle of workers in this period, but of various episodes in Brazilian history and human rights issues. The option of working with diverse sources makes it possible to stimulate the reading and interpretation of documents and varied temporalities and the recognition of the student as an active subject in the teaching-learning relationship, and not as a mere receiver of contents. In times of changes and resignifications of labor relations, reflecting on the history of labor rights is a fundamental theme for teaching and learning history. In this direction, we have chosen to follow the paths of the history of labor rights, privileging documentary analysis and criticism, an essential activity for the construction of historical knowledge.
