Mídias tecnológicas e ensino de história na pandemia: estudo de caso na escola CETI Venância Lages Veloso em Cabeceiras do Piauí

Abstract

This study examines the impact of technological media on the teaching of History during the Covid-19 pandemic, focusing on CETI Venância Lages Veloso School in Cabeceiras do Piauí, a municipality in the state of Piauí, located 92 km from the capital, Teresina. Cabeceiras do Piauí is a relatively small city with approximately ten thousand inhabitants. Using a qualitative approach based on a literature review and interviews with a History teacher and two students who studied at the institution during the pandemic, the research seeks to understand how social media, particularly WhatsApp, was employed in emergency remote teaching. The analysis highlights the challenges faced by teachers and students, such as the lack of preparedness for using technology and unequal access to digital resources. It also addresses the difficulties in fostering historical awareness in a virtual environment. Furthermore, the study explores the pedagogical and social implications of this teaching model, proposing strategies to more effectively integrate technologies into History education, even in post-pandemic contexts.
