This study investigates the use of active teaching methodologies in History classes at the Monte Horebe School, located in the municipality of Acará-Pa, based on a central concern: the traditionalist teaching approach adopted at the institution. The problem identified was the teaching practice of the History curriculum component, which is characterized by the passive transmission of content, with an emphasis on the memorization of historical facts, with no practical significance for the student's life, a practice dubbed by educator Paulo Freire as “banking education”. To address this problem, the study was carried out using qualitative research, with a focus on a case study carried out with students in the 9th year of primary school at the aforementioned school, using the methodology of participant-action research. Ethnographic elements were used, such as field observations, interviews and research diary notes. The educational product of this investigation was a workshop-class based on Problem-Based Learning (PBL), with the aim of transforming the school's pedagogical practice and overcoming the traditional model of teaching History that is still in force.
