O livro didático e o ensino de história : o que ler, como ler e para que ler

Abstract

The textbook configures itself as one of the pedagogical resources most used in the classroom by teachers. It is understood that, from the context in which they are produced, textbooks suffer interferences from different orders, whether of political, economic, whether social or cultural. This work is situated on the Cultural History’s pretext so far as it is concerned to the book’s history and reading, and it analyses a fundamental question: How the History textbook is appropriated for teachers and students in History classes? Add to that, present elements in the textbook, called paratext influence in book reading when they are modified through editions? The aim is also to understand as teachers and students appropriate of the textbook and as paratext elements interfere (or not) in these appropriations. That may us to reflect concerning of questionable teaching history in its theoretical and methodological aspects.
