Cuiabá em sala : o ensino de história local no 5º ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

The present study focuses on analyzing the narratives of fifth-year elementary school students. The objective is to understand what narratives these students create about the city's past, with a focus on understanding the historical consciousness of these students. The study is based on a questionnaire applied in two schools in the city of Cuiabá, where 69 responses to the questionnaires were found. The text is structured into 3 chapters, the first mainly addresses the concepts of place and region, covering their importance and understanding of local history, and briefly offers a little about the history of Cuiabá. The second chapter focuses on teaching local history, discussing its importance, rationale and its application in the early years. And finally, the third chapter focuses on the analysis of the questionnaires applied with a focus on understanding the historical consciousness of these students. The concepts that will guide the analyses proposed here are those of historical consciousness, historical learning, and historical narrative, all explained by RÜSEN (2001); RÜSEN (2007); RÜSEN (2010).
