Abstract

Over the past few years, it has been possible to observe an increase in the use of digital technologies, especially by young people around the world. At a time of high use in Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDIC's), traditional teaching and learning methods have become outdated, making it necessary to innovate this process, taking into consideration the historical context and the transformations experienced by students. With that said, this article aims, in first place, to understand the current situation in which young people are inserted, also assimilating how they use networks; know the origin and trajectory of memes, analyzing how they are used by young people socially, culturally and politically; present the possible pedagogical uses of memes in history lessons, using the meme as a cultural product that mobilizes different skills and, finally, expose a project aligned with this theme experienced in the sphere of PIBID História - UFRPE. From the project and the research carried out with the participating students, it was possible to observe high engagement and greater interest from students when they are encouraged to work with tools that are already familiar to them, proving that the meme is an effective pedagogical resource in history classes.
