Escola, ensino de história e o enfrentamento de preconceitos

Abstract

This article aims to debate the prejudice that exist in our society as well as the teaching of History. Aiming to critically analyze the current educational system and curriculum in Brazil, its laws and guidelines, specifically in High School, this paper seeks to find ways to combat prejudice and discrimination within a teaching of History that is problematizing, critical and humanized, which promotes intellectual autonomy of the subject, working on the historical awareness and the affirmative search for identity, with the intention that the subject can develop as a transforming agent in society. The final objective of this work includes the defense of teaching with the Freirian model, which has the power to fight prejudice and transform society.
