Narrativas históricas como projeto educativo em uma escola rural de Seropédica

Abstract

The present work was developed from the experience of a pedagogical project with historical narratives carried out with students of the New Education for Youth and Adults (NEJA) of the Alice de Souza Bruno State College, in the municipality of Seropédica, in order to rescue the origins of the neighborhood. of São Miguel and understand the local reality, through the transformations of the rural environment in which the school unit is inserted. This work becomes relevant because it lists historical narratives as a possible method of study, based on the reflections of Walter Benjamin, who based our analysis, as well as other authors, such as: Jeanne-Marie Gagnebin, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Marc Bloch, Peter Burke, Michel de Certeau, Jacques Le Goff, Edward Thompson and Hannah Arendt. It is a qualitative research, involving the referred group of students in its elaboration process. After carrying out this research, we concluded that oral narratives can greatly contribute to the rescue and understanding of the history of a locality, as well as to the strengthening of the cultural identity of social groups, here, in particular, of NEJA students, historically neglected and excluded. We emphasize that this research was developed through the analysis of interviews carried out by video conference, due to the pandemic period of COVID 19 and preserving the anonymity of the subjects.
