O uso de diferentes fontes históricas : anos iniciais do ensino fundamental

Abstract

This work presents a study on the use of different historical sources in the early years of Elementary School. The research aims to investigate how elementary school teachers utilize these sources to make History classes more dynamic and engaging, enabling a better understanding of past events. As well as analyzing teaching strategies, the main difficulties faced and the contributions brought by the use of historical sources. The research was conducted through classroom observation and questionnaire application. Data analysis relies on the National Common Core Curriculum (BNCC) for History in the early years and on authors discussing the use of historical sources in the classroom as Bitencourt (1998 e 2008), Urban (2015) e Smchmidt (1998). The data analysis points out challenges faced by teachers when teaching History in the early years of Elementary School, such as lack of student interest and the superficiality of lessons. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of working with different historical sources, such as documents, photographs, objects, oral accounts, among others, to develop students' critical thinking, understanding of different historical perspectives, and appreciation for cultural diversity.
