O ensino de história, a redemocratização brasileira, e a música

Abstract

The dissertation has as its research corpus the Teaching of History through music composed in the period of Brazilian Redemocratization (1974-1985). The work is part of the Postgraduate Program in History at the University of Caxias do Sul - Professional Masters in History, having as a research line Languages and Culture in History Teaching. The theme of this research emerged from reflections on the development of more meaningful learning in classrooms, especially in the teaching of History. Relating the past to the present has been a challenge for teachers in this area, as many consider them "teachers of the past". The objective is to reflect, discuss and present a methodological proposal with the use of music in the classroom, to teach the period of Brazilian Redemocratization. Considering that, in addition to being culturally very explored, music is a resource easily found and used daily by most young people, the proposal seeks to assist in this learning process and make teaching increasingly reflective and effective, using the experiences of students. Music as a pedagogical instrument, used simultaneously with the textbook or text, facilitates communication at a time when the use of new technologies is present in the daily life of the teacher and the student, bringing information in real time and in an accessible way. The time frame was chosen due to its important transition from a dictatorial period to democracy, in which Brazilian society culturally manifested itself against the government and the lived reality. Thus, countless songs were produced that contextualized the moment and can be used today as a historical document. The Brazilian Redemocratization extends from 1974 to 1985, a period in which the Political Opening took place through continuous acts, returning to Brazilian citizens the democracy that was deprived of them during the period of the Civil Military Dictatorship, which began in 1964. The research is qualitative, as it the text is based on the bibliographic review in books, scientific articles and dissertations that discuss the subject, highlighting some important authors for this work such as Napolitano (2010), Gardner (1995), Ferreira (2018), Seffner (2016), Chauí (2012). Because it is the present time, the songs selected to relate History to Redemocratization are still part of the daily lives of many Brazilians, and we still live with people who lived through that period. As a final product of this research, I propose workshops for teachers, who aim to assist in their professional practices. The results obtained at the end of the research point to a constant update in the methods and learning strategies used in the classroom. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
