História local e a relação do ensino de História com o mundo do trabalho a partir de exercícios empáticos descritivos

Abstract

The theme of this research is a choice result of my experience as a teacher in basic education and the discomfort of always treating the contents automatically, stuck to traditional methodologies and that often lead to the student's lack of interest in the discipline of History. This work aims to discuss the application of the methodology of Descriptive Empathic Exercises and its results within the rural area of Thailand, in Vila Palmares, with the 8th grade classes of elementary school II, highlighting how this activity can help in the reformulation of the concepts brought by the students and how these students can understand History through their daily lives. Letters written by the students were used as tools for analysis. The concepts of historical narrative and historical empathy were used with the guidance given by the teacher. We have as a theoretical basis for the writing of this work the authors Cristòfol-Trepat (1995), Virgínia Cuesta (2015) and Peter Lee (2003) for the debate of concepts of historical narrative and historical empathy.
