Educação patrimonial e Ensino de História: experiências com plataformas digitais envolvendo o Centro Histórico de São Luís

Abstract

This research is about Heritage Education and History Teaching through digital technologies, having as object the Historical Center of São Luís/MA. This work is directed to teachers who work in the High School of Basic Education. We focus on three digital technologies: the Cultural Visit Circuit (SECMA/MA), the Digital Seed Project (LABCOM/UFMA) and the PATnet Course: an online Heritage Education course about the Historic Center of São Luís (UEMANET). The methodology employed in the research is based on a bibliographic discussion supported by the concepts of heritage, monument, heritage education, patrimonialization, history teaching and digital technologies applied to the study of heritage. The work method also consists of qualitative research on digital technologies as tools to work on Heritage Education in Basic Education. Oral History was also employed, since interviews were conducted with the subjects involved in the digital platforms analyzed. With this research, we intend to socialize with Basic Education teachers the experiences of the teacher/researcher with the Heritage Education in the Historical Center of São Luís mediated by digital technologies, in order to make the teaching/learning process more playful and meaningful for the students involved. The product consists in the production of four podcasts with guidelines for History teachers and related areas on how to work with Heritage Education in the Historical Center of São Luís, using digital technologies in the classroom and outside it, in order to promote a History teaching that is more committed to the place and historical awareness.
