RECONSTRUINDO AS PRÁTICAS DOCENTES DO SÉCULO XX: MEMÓRIAS DE ANTIGAS PROFESSORAS DO ENSINO PRIMÁRIO EM AREIA- PB (1960-1990)

Abstract

The present study has as main objective to understand the pedagogical practices of former teachers who taught between the decades of 1960-1990 through their memories, besides reflecting on the professional performance, and the teaching-learning processes of primary education. The study was carried out in the city of Areia-PB. As a theoretical basis, we support the view of theorists such as Arroyo (2011), Delgado (2009), Freud (1996), Gil (1991), Larrosa (2002), Martins (2007), Pimenta e Lima 1988), Zilberman (2005). This is a qualitative and descriptive / exploratory research, which used semi-structured interviews with six teachers who taught between the years of 1960 and 1990, where the technique of oral history was used. In this sense, memory was worked as a form of invocation of the past, since it is a capacity that we have to conserve and save the time that has gone, saving them from forgetting, remembering what has passed and will not return any more. Thus, in general, the results show that the teachers chose the teaching career so that they saw the Magisterium as a possible professional choice. In addition, in relation to practices, those that stand out are recurrent practices in the daily life of the child, such as songs and games that provide the student with pleasure in learning. However, in the challenges, the lack of pedagogical and structural materials in the classroom is highlighted in the classroom. It should be emphasized that the greatest difficulties of the profession highlighted by the participants are the professional devaluation.
