Teatro e história: um estudo sobre o uso do teatro como metodologia no ensino de história do Piauí a partir do conteúdo da Batalha do Jenipapo

Abstract

This research aims to present the main aspects related to the use of theater as a methodology in teaching and learning the History of Piauí based on the content of the Battle of Jenipapo. To this end, a qualitative approach was used based on bibliographic and documentary analyses on the contributions of theater in the teaching of History and the contents of the History of Piauí. The interest in this topic was justified by the importance of introducing new methodologies in the teaching of History, as well as valuing regional History in the understanding of the student's own reality. This study is not exhausted in the monograph, since it will be expanded through the creation of articles for later presentations. When staging the play of the Battle of Jenipapo, the theater highlighted content that is already covered in History books, but its staging made it more alive.
