Livros didáticos de história na sala de aula: circulação e usos no cotidiano de escolas públicas de Santarém - PA

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how history textbooks are used in various educational contexts and by different individuals, also contributing to research on the teaching of history at a regional level. The results of the research conducted in public schools in Santarém, PA, as part of the Institutional Program for Scientific Initiation Scholarships (PIBIC/UFOPA), will be presented. Ethnographic studies were conducted in three middle schools located in different neighborhoods, both in the central area and in the peripheral regions of Santarém, two of which were selected to be presented in this work. A reference guide developed by professors Ivanilda Higa and Tânia Braga Garcia from the Department of Theory and Practice of Teaching at the Federal University of Paraná was used as the methodological basis for classroom observations and teacher interviews. Additionally, texts by authors such as Diego Marinho de Gois (2022), Kazumi Munakata (2012), Tânia Regina de Luca (2009), Alain Choppin (2009), among others, were used. During school visits, evidence of textbook use was collected, including lesson plans, activities, and notes made directly in the books. The collected sources were organized, cataloged, and integrated into a database. It was observed that although the same textbook collection (Araribá Collection, PNLD 2020-2023) is used in all the schools studied, the subjectivity of the various individuals involved results in differentiated practices of using the books, giving each investigated school context its own uniqueness.
