Histórias em quadrinhos e tirinhas: formação de pedagogos e análise de livro didático de história

Abstract

The use of comics in the classroom constitutes a rich experience, but one that requires further study and in-depth investigation. This study analyzes the use of this resource in History education during the early years of Elementary Education, focusing on the A Conquista: História textbook series, used in the municipal school system of João Pessoa, and on the teacher education of Pedagogy students at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB). The research aims to comparatively analyze how comics are used in textbooks and how they are addressed in initial teacher education, seeking to identify their pedagogical functions, the ways in which their language is explored, and possible gaps in these two contexts. This is a qualitative study involving both documentary and field research, conducted through the analysis of History textbooks for grades 1 through 5 and the application of questionnaires to current and graduating Pedagogy students at UFPB. The study approaches comics from a theoretical and methodological perspective, considering them as a textual genre, an artistic language, and a form of communication.
