O ensino de História Antiga na Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EPT): reflexões sobre o currículo e as práticas docentes

Abstract

The teaching of Ancient History has been undergoing several transformations, especially in Brazil. This is due to the increase in works produced in this area with pertinent discussions and reflections on how to approach it in elementary and secondary education. In this sense, the present research focuses on the teaching practice of Ancient History in Professional and Technological Education (EPT), considering its importance for the construction of omnilaterality. The guiding question of this research sought to understand how the teaching process of Ancient History content occurs, taking into account, mainly, the Curriculum of EPT at IFMG (Federal Institute of Minas Gerais). The research has a qualitative character and used the following methodological instruments: bibliographic and documentary research, and the application of an anonymous questionnaire. It is hoped that, in addition to achieving the central objective, this research can contribute to the expansion of reflections on the teaching of Ancient History within the EPT Curriculum at IFMG and that it can assist in the social transformation that comes from an omnilateral education, since a coherent understanding of antiquity can transform social relations today. Furthermore, this research developed an educational product, in the form of a videocast, with the aim of facilitating access to debates on the teaching of Ancient History, providing alignment between teaching practice and the curriculum in vocational and technological education.
