Relato de experiência na Mostra de Humanidades na EEEP Mons. Expedito da Silveira de Sousa, em Camocim-CE (2018-2020)

Abstract

This experience report aims to analyze the ways and the impacts of the realization of the Humanities Exhibition as a pedagogical activity in order to offer a so-called integral education through the public network of basic education and the role of the Applied Humanities and Social Sciences in the specific context of the state network of professional education of the state of Ceará, focusing on the reality of the EEEP Mons. Expedito da Silveira de Sousa, in the city of Camocim-CE, between the years 2018 and 2020. The activity aimed to develop more humanistic learning through artistic, cultural and academic productions - led by the students themselves - on themes that are dear to their daily lives, politically, culturally, historically and socially. Based on this premise, in the following chapters an investigation was developed on formal education, integral education, vocational education and how these have been oriented in the guiding documents of Brazilian basic education, to focus more strictly on the reality of the teaching of human and applied social sciences - and in particular history - at this juncture. In a broader perspective, the aim was also to situate the teaching of history and other human sciences subjects in that institution and that reality, considering the various dilemmas for the good reconciliation of the basic precepts of a Comprehensive Education to the objective interests of vocational education linked to high school, outlined around, broadly speaking, large-scale evaluations, state and federal level, and market interests. We are interested here in the demarcation and valorization of the knowledge linked to this area of knowledge and, therefore, the propositional dimension indispensable to this work consists of the publication of an e-book entitled "Organizing School Exhibitions: a methodological alternative for learning in Applied Human and Social Sciences", aimed at secondary school teachers with the objective of encouraging teaching practices in this area that can be better connected to the interest for an Integral Education, through the structuring of human sciences exhibitions. We believe that this type of activity contributes to the development of a teaching praxis interested both in the students' learning in a formal sense and, mainly, in their holistic development. The aim of this production is to create an instrument that stimulates managers, teachers and other researchers in education to make the school a space that goes beyond grades, indicators and professional pressures; and allows them to rethink projects and teaching processes as humans for humans with dreams, fears, doubts and pains.
