Quando a escola visita o museu e quando o museu visita a escola: educação na perspectiva do Patrimônio Cultural

Abstract

This dissertation investigates the relationship established between school and museum, its particularities and potentialities in relation to pedagogical activities from the perspective of cultural heritage. It seeks to contribute, on the one hand, to the deconstruction of the traditional and conservative pedagogical model, giving way to a libertarian education, in a decolonial way. On the other hand, it is necessary to promote dialogue with the educational sectors of museums, some of them inaccessible, others open to effective partnerships with teachers. As a methodology, a field research was carried out through activities in partnership between the State Technical School Adolpho Bloch and the Rio Memories Museum, during the years 2021-22. After visiting the virtual museum, Adolpho Bloch students participated in the Rio dos Estudantes Workshops, through which they visited and researched the cultural assets of São Cristóvão, the school's neighborhood, and its surroundings, creating texts and images from the experience in a creative, most of them being selected to integrate one of the Museum's virtual exhibitions. Reports and reflections from students, as well as testimonials from the educators involved, are analyzed throughout the research. The Educational Product prepared for this professional master's degree, an interactive printed map of the streets of the São Cristóvão neighborhood and surroundings, illustrates the possibilities of bringing elementary school students closer to the local cultural heritage. Elaborated in partnership withthe Rio Memories Museum, cartography serves as a didactic tool with countless possibilities of applicability, from the points already identified and researched, for new horizons of education from the perspective of cultural heritage, with the expectation that it will be used in the sense of a more creative and sensitive education, for other schools in São Cristóvão, other neighborhoods, other cities.
