HISTORY AND MEMORY: POSSIBILITIES OF EXPANDING KNOWLEDGE IN HISTORY TEACHING THROUGH IMAGES

Abstract

The proposal presents some provocations made about the use of image in the teaching of history. Having as motivating question to pay attention to the importance of finding a time at school to discuss your own history. Aiming to reflect on the power of the image as a pedagogical tool in the teaching of History that makes teachers and students interact in the classroom. The methodological path consisted primarily of searching for theoretical references and photographs that go back to the time of their construction in society. We also seek to present both photographs to former employees of the respective schools to observe how the image awakens the memories of those who were part of the context of the time. We use the following theoretical contributions: Fonseca (2009), Macedo (2017), Fernandes (1995), Santos Júnior (1999), Morais (2007) and others. At first, we deal with the issue of interest in the past, when a particular time frame is privileged. While in the second moment we deal with the issue of giving visibility to the images because part of a story is kept in them. The result showed that the images prove to be efficient, with the potential to privilege the expansion of knowledge about a certain context
