Dops-MG e a luta por memória, verdade, justiça e reparação: proposta de sequência didática para escolas estaduais de Minas Gerais

Abstract

This thesis presents a didactic sequence comprising three suggested lesson plans designed for history teaching for third-year high school students within the Minas Gerais State Public Education Network. The lessons focus on the Entrepreneurial-Military Dictatorship (1964– 1985), specifically about the actions of the Department of Political and Social Order suppressing the Minas Gerais state’s population and the continued violence at the local even after the department got dissolved. The proposal was developed by cross-referencing documents from the Department of Political and Social Order collection at the Minas Gerais Public Archives, fragments of the "Brazil: Never Again" Project and the Human Rights Memorial Final Report. It also draws from the occupation held on April first, 2025, which reopened the building in the struggle for Memory, Truth, Justice, and Reparation. Based on contributions from Freirean Pedagogy and Human Rights Education, this work intends to offer a transformational analysis situated within present-day concerns to historize and to question the repression of the 1968 strikes, torture and other human rights violations, the persecution of those who subverted the order, and the challenges of creating a human rights memorial at the former Department building.
