Uso do filme no ensino e aprendizagem de História na Educação de Jovens e Adultos - EJA em Araguaína-TO

Abstract

This dissertation has as study‘s object the use of movie as a didactic-pedagogic resource in the teaching-learning process of History. The experience using "The Story of Stuff" and "Modern Times" movies are reference for working the subject. The didactic proposal named ―Mundo do Trabalho‖ (World of Work) was applied by using these movies at the Escola Municipal Zeca Barros (Zeca Barros Municipal School) in Araguaína municipality, state of Tocantins, in a classroom of Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) (Youth and Adult Education). This study aims to offer considerations for assisting teachers in their practices in the classroom, by using movies as a teaching resource for the construction of historical knowledge. It proposes to bring experiences and to disseminate results by using such resources that can be adjusted to other educational environments. This study was carried out based on theoretical incursions of authors that focus on the theme of History teaching in Brazil, as Abud (1998, 2009) and Bittencourt (2011), especially authors who are dedicated to relate the cinema and the teaching of History, as Fonseca (2009), Saliba (1993), and those who are engaged in uncovering the didactics assumptions of History subject, as Rüsen (2011). The mentioned didactic proposal was based on the aula-oficina (workshop) assumptions (BARCA, 2004). The principles of action research with qualitative approach were used as methodological strategy. Questionnaires were applyed to obtain data. Regarding to this theoretical and methodological approach, the data point to the fact that the teaching and learning process of History can occur through theoretical dialogues based on discussions about the images, allowing historiographical approaches that can guide teaching practices.
