Museus virtuais e o ensino de história : o caso do Museu Paço do Frevo

Abstract

The following research, carried out in Brazil, has the general objective of analyzing the possibilities that the Virtual Platform of the Paço do Frevo Museum can provide in History classes. In this sense, as a methodological procedure, a historiographical review was initially carried out guided by books and articles that discuss the relationship between History Teaching and Digital Technologies in the classroom (Bittencourt, 2008; Fochi, 2015; Schmidt, 2014; Franco, 2018; Barros, 2022), with the perspective of Virtual Museums (Henriques, 2004; Muchacho, 2009; Botelho, 2010) and the possible interactions of both spaces (Ramos, 2004; Dumbra, Arruda, 2013; Mota, 2020). After this first process, we carried out the practical research, which took place in two stages: the first, through investigation that took place in the non-formal teaching space, that is, at the Paço do Frevo museum, where a semi-structured interview was collected with the educational sector and, later, analyzed recordings of Abre – salas, in the second moment, we visited the reference school in elementary education, where a semi-structured interview was carried out with History teachers and the applicability of a workshop class to students, in order to to test the conceptions provoked by the use of a Virtual Museum linked to History classes. With the analysis of the theoretical foundation and the ordering of the information collected, it will be possible to make it clearer and more understandable in how the use of Virtual Museums in History classes promote ways of learning this curricular component, at the same time as will help to think and problematize the relationship between Teaching - Museum Spaces and learning in the field of History.
