Ensino de História & história local: a constituição de um jornal digital na Escola de Referência Estadual Mardônio Coelho, Bomba do Hemetério, Recife - PE

Abstract

This study explores the potential of integrating Local History into History education through a pedagogical proposal for the creation of a digital newspaper in the neighborhood of Bomba do Hemetério, in Recife, Pernambuco. The main objective is to analyze how the appreciation of Local History can enhance teaching and connect students with their community. Using a qualitative approach and the action research method, the study is based on the interpretation of primary and secondary sources to examine the impact of collaboration between the school and the community. The focus is on the Mardônio Coelho State School of Reference, the only public high school in the neighborhood, and the impact of introducing the digital newspaper "Bomba Cultural" as a pedagogical tool. The results show that the integration of local history into the school curriculum, through the newspaper, promotes greater student engagement and a deeper understanding of their cultural and historical identity. The study highlights the importance of collaboration between the school and the community for a more contextualized and meaningful education.
