O YouTube como possibilidade de divulgação científica no ensino de história

Abstract

The present aims to reflect on the possibility of using social networks to promote historical knowledge produced by teachers who attended Degree in History teaching course (PROFHSTÓRIA). For this, the work was divided into a theoretical and a practical part. In the theoretical part, the literature was reviewed about the following topics: scientific communication, social networks, algorithms, and YouTube. The intention was to scale the debate on the viability of the use of social networks for scientific communication. As for the conclusion, despite the difficulties, it points to the possibility of using YouTube as a promising way to create scientific communication. The other part of the work, which is practical, consisted of a proposal of creating a channel on Youtube, named "Fala, Profhistóricos!", in order to post interviews done with professors who had graduated from "PROFHISTÓRIA". In them, they talk about their academic journey, the scientific research developed by them and the experience of taking a course at "PROFHISTORIA". In addition, with the purpose of stimulating the autonomy and protagonism of Basic Education teachers, a short tutorial was created instructing how to create a channel on YouTube using only a smartphone.
