Quinhoar Public and digital History Teaching:Cyberculture and the use of Facebook in basic education.
History Teaching. Paulo Freire. Facebook.
This work developed reflections on Facebook, based on Gramsci's concept of civil society. He made some considerations about the social network Facebook and its implications in social spheres. We sought to reflect on the possibilities of teaching history using the Quinhoar Ensino de História page on Facebook as a teaching resource in primary education classrooms. The research used the page “Quinhoar: Teaching History” to mobilize the concepts of gender, class and race, within a perspective of social reproduction theory. Some studies by Paulo Freire were used to promote democratic, inclusive education that resists the capitalist order. The research began with the following question: Is it possible to teach history through a Facebook page? Throughout the research, it was concluded that yes, as long as the teacher pays attention to the following findings: online social networks, and the internet, are under great control of marketing interests, because of the way the algorithms were written; Many students have already mastered knowledge that allows them to circulate through social networks and obtain knowledge. These two conclusions created the following impasse: How to teach critical history through the Quinhoar page, mobilizing the knowledge that students already have, in a social network subjected to capitalist logic? The solution found was to produce and use teaching materials through the Quinhoar history teaching page, but subordinating them to the historical context experienced on the classroom floor and turning the focus of the research to the demands of face-to-face teaching.
