history teaching; heritage education; strong yellowwood – PE.
This research project at master's level is in progress, arising from the need to verify whether there is work with local cultural heritage, in municipal schools in the city of Paulista – PE. To this end, we aim to analyze the relationship between History Teaching and Heritage Education in the classroom, taking the Forte de Nossa Senhora dos Prazeres de Pau Amarelo, known as Forte de Pau Amarelo, as a space for discussion about the encounter of knowledge . More specifically, we seek to historicize how the Pau Amarelo Fortification was built and its meaning for the city today; identify the teaching resources available and used in municipal public schools in the city of Paulista/PE to problematize the Forte de Pau Amarelo and verify the pedagogical work developed by history teachers on local heritage. The work takes as a reference the concepts and studies in the field of History Teaching and Heritage Education. Therefore, this makes us reflect on the importance of the dialogue between History Teaching and Heritage Education for “reading the world and understanding temporal and historical trajectories” (PERNAMBUCO, 2013, p. 32). We will rely on the Heritage Education and History Teaching methodology of researchers Gil & Possamai (2014, p.23) “the heritage asset is not the structuring element of heritage education, but the relationship that is established between the subject, the heritage and the space where this asset is located”. “the heritage asset is not the structuring element of heritage education, but the relationship that is established between the subject, the heritage and the space where this asset is located”. And by historian Dominique Poulot (2012) to discuss cultural heritage. Our documentary analysis was based on documents (official documents that guide education) and on the script of semi- structured interviews with teachers appointed by the educational community who carry out work with students in their final years in municipal schools in Paulista, which are in the annexes. And for thematic oral history we will use (ALBERTI, FERNANDES, FERREIRA, 2000). Thus, we hope to contribute with this research to the formation of critical and historical thinking in the teaching of history and the relationship with the knowledge and practices of Heritage Education in elementary schools in the city of Paulista.
