Abstract

This paper presents some considerations related to the development of the research entitled Feminine Teaching: a study over the history of education through elderly teachers’ memory during 1950 and 1970 in Abaetetuba in the state of Pará. In this research we had as study object: elderly teachers’ memories of Abaetetuba city, with the goal to analyze the type of education they received, to evidence the way it reflected in her practical teaching. Methodologically, we developed the study using the Oral History, in which we had reports of relevant experiences in their life histories. About the theoretic references, we had big contributions of Portelli (2001) and Chizzotti (2003) discussing the methodology used; Almeida (1998), Araújo (1993), Apple (1995) and Bezerra Neto (1995) that emphasize the teaching and feminine education; Scott (1995) and Louro (1997) arising discussion about gender; Foucault (1987) that deals aspects of story, culture and disciplining of bodies and female minds; Bosi (1994), Thompson (1992) and Loureiro (1999) discussing about memories and thereby, with this article we intend to present the results obtained with this academic research, empshasizing the importance of enhancing memory and orality as sources of knowledge that can contribute to the softening of the prejudices associated with elderly teachers of this city.
