Ausência de referenciais didáticos da história de Carauari-Am: baixa produção histórica escrita

Abstract

This article is an account of an experience that addresses the scarcity of didactic resources on the local history of Carauari-Amazonas, highlighting the low level of historical production in public schools. The account was constructed from experiences during a supervised internship at the GM3 School, as part of the History degree program. Its purpose was to critically reflect on the teaching of local history in the state public school system. The general objective was to promote critical reflection on the absence of didactic materials on local history in the state public school system, as well as to identify historical content relevant to the community; to analyze methodologies used in the classroom; and to contribute to proposals that integrate cultural identity into teaching. The account showed that the devaluation of local history limits students' knowledge of their own cultural identity, resulting in learning disconnected from community reality, according to the results of a questionnaire administered to teachers at the school where the account was developed. The report concludes that including local history through written educational resources is essential for forming conscious citizens capable of valuing their cultural heritage and contributing to the social development of the region.
