São Gonçalo, história local e patrimônios: abordagens possíveis para o ensino de História

Abstract

This dissertation presents local history and heritage as possible approaches for teaching history, presented in São Gonçalo’s city official school curriculum. The debate this dissertation proposes focus on the way school curriculum can be explored through São Gonçalo’s local history and heritage potential, which are capable to dialogue with the identities and memories of the students. Thus, school subjetcs addressed throughout the school year gain new meanings, as they are seen as integrated and more connected to the local reality in which the students are embedded. Similarly, the heritage approach dialogues with daily lives, recognitions, and reinterpretations that local groups make of these heritages, enabling these stories to be explored and harmonized along the curricular content. Based on this analysis, at the conclusion of this dissertation, there is a series of educational activities that uses the local history and heritage of São Gonçalo as possible approaches for teaching history presented within school curriculum.
