O fazer história, em tempos de pandemia, nas turmas de aceleração do município de Teresópolis

Abstract

This dissertation is the result of my concerns as a history teacher in acceleration classes in the municipality of Teresópolis (RJ). The paper seeks to rethink the history curriculum from a decolonial perspective, taking into consideration the subjectivities and potential of the students. In this vein, it is understood that they are the ones who must assume a leading role in making school history, in seeing themselves as historical agents and subjects of their stories. To this end, students in the acceleration class, based on the concept of escrevivência from Conceição Evaristo, produced an ebook with reports about their experiences during the pandemic as the final product of this dissertation. Furthermore, this ebook also constitutes a tool of emancipation for the students of the acceleration class, by which the student body was able to bring their histories to light (of a collective and not simply individual scope). As a result, the representation of this group towards themselves e in regards to the entire school community in which they are encompassed managed to be rebuilt beyond the traditional models.
