América Latina em sala de aula: análise das coleções didáticas e intervenções pedagógicas para o ensino médio

Abstract

Based on the concerns of everyday classroom life, as a teacher I notice a lack of knowledge and distance from Latin America, both on the part of students and in textbooks and programs. My objective is to research and analyze the contents of the Histories of Latin America in high school textbooks - more specifically the 2021 PLND Applied Humanities and Social Sciences didactic collections - analyzing their presence and absence. To deepen my research, I anchored myself in decolonial thinking, through important concepts such as eurocentrism, modernity and coloniality, among others. In addition, I present suggestions and possibilities for theoretical-methodological paths for the construction of other histories, through important concepts, namely: critical interculturality and decolonial gaps. I also analyze the experiences and work done with students in the classroom, which allowed us to construct such pedagogical proposals. Finally, I develop pedagogical interventions - a didactic sequence and a supporting didactic notebook - for teaching Latin American Histories, especially for High School.
