Formação em Direitos Humanos no ensino de História: diálogos entre a escola e uma sociedade polarizada

Abstract

The process of re-democratization post-dictatorship in Brazil has produced a constant expansion of human rights. Accompanied by updates in educational legislation, the school became essential in developing a culture on the topic. Therefore, History teaching constitutes a crucial space for reflection and the implementation of these guidelines. Despite these advances, Brazil is constantly being questioned about the importance and legitimacy of dictatorship in our society. This is the biggest attack on human rights since such period. Thus, from a reflection on pertinent legislation and the use of qualitative methodology, the present research aimed to assess the perception that students of Ecit Prefeito Oswaldo Pessoa have regarding human rights as a form of initial diagnosis. Based on the results, I proposed an intervention about the construction of a culture in human rights, through the teaching of History. As one of the interventions in the school, we organized a lecture about the violations that occurred in Paraíba, with the participation of the president of the State Commission of Memory and Truth in the Federal State of Paraíba. Hence, the audio-visual used in this research was derived from interviews about the students' perception and the lecture about the theme. In this area, it aims to serve as a support for the implementation and consolidation of human rights in public schools.
