A memória indígena em Araruama e questões atuais através da metodologia WebQuest

Abstract

This dissertation presents a proposal for a pedagogical activity that uses the WebQuest methodology aimed at Teaching History in the final years of Elementary School in the public network of the city of Araruama/RJ. The archaeological discoveries gave light to the Tupinambá indigenous presence in the region and its subsequent use in an attempt to build a local memory, a fact that occurred in a timid way. From this situation, we seek to present some of these actions, problematizing what happened to the indigenous population that inhabited the region. This first discussion serves as a starting point for bringing others sensitive and urgent issues facing indigenous populations in Brazil today. In this sense, the work presents discussions that deal with Brazilian legislation, human rights, decolonial thinking, memory, local history and indigenous themes. Questions are also presented regarding the use of digital technologies in education and their potential for the development of historical knowledge with a focus on the WebQuest methodology, which is exemplified in the final part of the work through a pedagogical proposal related to indigenous themes.
