Ensino de história e a sociedade da informação: aprendizagem histórica por meio da análise de fontes em ambientes digitais

Abstract

Inserted in the field of research on History Teaching, this work has as main objective to contribute to the improvement of historical learning through the analysis of historical textual sources available in digital environments. At the State School Dr. César Cals, in Fortaleza - CE, this demand was identified through the investigation of the uses that students make of the internet in their daily lives, especially through smartphones. With the realization that students use the information accessed online even for their studies, it is admitted that the qualification of this use should be one of the tasks of school education. For this purpose, in the context of History Teaching, it is argued that the exercise of historian's procedures in teaching situations can contribute to the development of more active (critical and genetic) than passive (traditional and exemplary) historical consciousnesses. In this sense, this dissertation proposes a set of activities of analysis of written historical sources available online and that are systematized in a "Fontímetro"- a didactic tool focused on the exercise and improvement of students' abilities and that can be used in combination with the most various historical contents.
