In order to analyze cultural heritage as a strategy for teaching local History in basic education
we conducted a participatory research with a group of 1st year’s High School students at
Crescer School, located in Conceição do Araguaia, Amazon Region of Brazil. The mobilization
and sensitization of students was carried out based on methodologies and tools already existing
at the Brazilian National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN). The intervention
aimed to identify, describe, classify, define and recognize the material available locally,
specifically the material by the Dominican priests, the Santa Rosa School and the Main
Catholic Church (Nossa Senhora da Conceição). As theoretical fundament about teachinglearning
of History, we adopted the concepts of Paulo Freire (1996), Sandra C. A. Pelegrini
(2006), Rüsen (2010) and Ricardo de Aguiar Pacheco (2017). Regarding reflections on
education by heritance, we used guidelines of manuals produced by IPHAN. As a result, we
created a didactic and inedited website (https://sites.google.com/ view/edupatrimonialmarthamelo/
inicio) to encourage and strengthen educational practices in History Teaching
around Cultural Heritage and Local History, promoting identification of students with local
references.
