What is this story, teacher: reflections on the History of the Present Time for high school students
History of the present time - History Teaching - High School - ENEM
Rethinking my own teaching practice over almost ten years of teaching in Basic Education, my project aims to reflect on the use of the history of time present in high school classes, thinking of teaching history as something focused on issues of the present time. Analyzing the ENEM Human Sciences exams of the last 10 years and proposing classes in which these themes are discussed / debated, I was able to verify that the present time has not received the prominence it needs to bring a more assertive reflection to students in this segment.
In defending an education that liberates, I try to make a parallel about the history class as the beginning of a process that goes beyond the curriculum, where the student becomes critical of the events that surround them, seeking explanations in History for social inequality, the racism, homophobia, among other subjects that are part of their daily lives.
When proposing the construction of a pedagogical magazine aimed at high school and which brings themes that arouse the reflections mentioned above, I try to establish a bridge between students and these themes, trying to build a narrative that makes sense and reaches these young people, making them the debate evolves, showing the importance of history for the construction of de facto citizenship.
