O ensino da história local : historiografia, práticas metodológicas e memória cotidiana na era das mídias interativas no município de Veranópolis

Abstract

The following study aims to analyze the historiographic works from the city of Veranópolis, as well as some research sources and their potentiality in the methodology applied to the teaching of the Local History. A research is made involving the teachers of Municipal Education System, by applying a qualitative and quantitative questionnaire in order to identify whether the Local History is worked at school and what strategies and methodological resources are used in the classroom. The analysis of the works, as well as the research result of the collected data presented a way forward for a proposition of further attention on the absence in the current historiography in the teaching and social making of Local History. The trial of Teaching Local History with the production of sources was through a blog, the communication media resource used to report the individual and collective memories present at school and in the community. These individual and collective memories are part of the classroom dynamic, becoming alive in the school context, requiring, therefore, methodological approaches to follow the unstoppable speed of digital media so that they can explore ways of participating in the cyberspace. Schools are characterized as privileged spaces to build identity and collective memory. Therefore, the objective is to report the experience gained with the grandparents, through a project developed with the students of the 2nd and 3rd grades of the Teaching Course of the School Regina Coeli, from Veranópolis. The study was developed from the perspective of oral interviews and their reports in a blog. The choice of a digital medium to record oral reports is justified by the fact that there is the need of integrating technological tools in activities related to the teaching of History. From the analysis of the blog content, which are silenced voices, it was aimed to demonstrate the potential that the sources produced in the private sector, such as, photographs, letters, personal objects with material and immaterial value have in the construction of the identity of a place.
