Entre o Acampamento Meio-Sangue e a Sala de Aula: Mitologia, Inclusão e o Ensino de História com Percy Jackson e os Olimpianos

Abstract

This study proposes to analyze the use of the series Percy Jackson and the Olympians (2024) as an innovative pedagogical tool in teaching History to students in basic education. The research investigates how the mythological and historical elements of the series can be used to spark students' interest, with a particular focus on neurodivergent individuals, such as those with ADHD. In addition to contextualizing historical themes, the series establishes a meaningful connection with students' experiences, fostering a more inclusive and engaging learning environment and a playful approach to education. By exploring the protagonist's journey, who shares characteristics of neurodivergence, the study examines how this representation can bridge students to historical content, encouraging them to see themselves as active agents in their learning journeys and in the construction of historical narratives.
