Cartografia social como ferramenta para o ensino: a História do Povo Indígena Mortigura por meio de um mapa digital em Barcarena-PA

Abstract

This professional master's dissertation in history teaching starts from the use of the textbook "Conquista Solução Educacional" as the object of study for the analysis of maps, highlighting its importance at Instituto Cristo Rei, where it is mandatory and linked to the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC). The use of this book faces challenges due to the extent of the content and the limited class hours. The maps, present in the book, are seen as resources to make classes more reflective and dynamic. Authors such as Kazumi Munakata (2016) and Alain Choppin (2004) offer perspectives on the role of the textbook in school culture, while others like Harley (2005) and Carlos Tiné da Silva Pereira (2020) emphasize the power and construction of cartography, respectively. The immersion of students in social maps, especially those produced by the Mortigura indigenous people, expands their historical and spatial understanding, challenging Eurocentric views. The need to broaden students' perception of Portuguese colonization and the experiences of the Mortigura required the construction of a digital map. Authors such as Souto (2017) and Danilo Alves da Silva (2018) discuss the importance of using digital resources, in addition to my mediation as a teacher-researcher in the teaching and learning process. Social cartography, made by the Mortigura indigenous people, was used as the main teaching material, seeking to value their knowledge and resistance in the history of the past and present time. Thus, the active and interactive methodological approach, combined with workshops, allowed students a deeper understanding of the territory and history of the Mortigura, as well as of the municipality of Barcarena, contributing to a decolonial teaching of history.
