A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DO PROFESSOR DE HISTÓRIA NA FORMAÇÃO SOCIAL DO ESTUDANTE NO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL II

Abstract

This work sought to understand the role of the History teacher in the social formation of elementary school II students, addressing the importance of this curricular component for the students' citizenship education. Thus, the objectives of this research were to identify how the teacher can contribute to the social formation of students and to discuss his (or her) role as an agent of social transformation through his (or her) pedagogical practice. As a methodological resource, we used bibliographical research. To discuss and understand the topic under study, we followed the paths of qualitative research, exploring and interpreting scientific articles and previously published texts by authors such as Oliveira (2013), Esclarin (2006), and Libâneo (1994). Based on the results obtained through bibliographical research, it was possible to understand that the History teacher plays a crucial role in the social formation of students. History classes are fundamental for the development of values, citizenship, ethics, and critical thinking, enabling students to understand the context in which they live and to have a critical perspective on both the past and the present, thus becoming more conscious and engaged citizens in society.
