Jovens historiadores: a historia oral como um caminho didático para o ensino de história no 6° ano do ensino fundamental II

Abstract

This dissertation investigates the use of Oral History in the teaching of History for 6th-grade students of Elementary School II. It proposes the use of Oral History as a didactic-pedagogical strategy for the study of historical content, from the perspective of valuing local memories and promoting student protagonism. The study aims to identify the state of the art of research related to History education and the use of Oral History, evaluating its potential as a methodological tool and a generator of meaningful content for students. The goal is to contextualize a History teaching approach that emphasizes active student participation, supporting the development of historical thinking, awareness of the individual’s role in society, and the recognition of historically marginalized narratives. Based on discussions from a literature review and classroom experiences, the research resulted in the creation of a teaching guide, which provides orientations and suggestions for teachers, as well as activities and pedagogical reflections that use Oral History as a resource to engage students in studying the past and their own communities. The teaching guide aims to equip History teachers with a practical material to approach historical content through Oral History, fostering student protagonism, collective knowledge construction, and the development of critical, ethical, and civic competencies, in accordance with the guidelines of the Brazilian National Common Core Curriculum and the principles of a democratic, inclusive, and culturally meaningful education.
