Ana Cavalcanti de Albuquerque: contribuições de uma professora no vale do Mamanguape/PB (1927-1961)

Abstract

Outlined by means of theoretical-methodological approaches of the history of education, this work scrutinized the reminiscences of Anna Cavalcanti de Albuquerque through interviews that cover her family origin, her initial formation and the activities and contributions developed in the Mamanguape/PB. Teacher Anna Cavalcante de Albuquerque had her name honored at a school in the municipality of Mamanguape/PB, in 1989. The name chosen to give the title to an educational institution, although it is something relevant and guarantees future traces of the history of a certain subject, does not represent, in many cases, something of didactic importance for these schools and for the people who live there. Therefore, this research aims to narrate the professional life of this teacher in order to understand her trajectory and her contributions to the Education of Mamanguape/PB and, consequently, to share the research results with the school and academic community. Thus, this research has as considerations to understand the importance of social subjects, in this case of Anna Cavalcanti de Albuquerque, as someone of relevance in the city which the school was created in her honor, she having an important family name, as well as being a teacher recognized for their role in society.
