A grande reviravolta da história e a história cultural: novos temas e grupos sociais na pesquisa em sala de aula

Abstract

The present intervention project was thought from the classroom experience in the public school of the state school of São Paulo, in which I identified in the textbooks and in the school curriculum, the predominance of a Eurocentric and masculine narrative, which little values and addresses the theme of Women´s History or even a story that is not based uniquely on the vision of the “European white man”, considered as the universal subject and sole producer knowledge. Thus, this project aims to foster the development of critical thinking in students, as well as demonstrate the importance of valuing the diversity of historical subjects in narratives, focusing on women. The intervention should be accomplished through discussion and research, made by the students themselves about the ways in which different historical subjects are approached in textbooks, considering that it is with these materials that students have the most contact throughout their school day.
