História e cinema na infância: a história dos povos indígenas e o ensino da linguagem cinematográfica na escola

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to identify and evaluate the influence of representations that depict indigenous peoples in history classes, as well as investigate the process of cognitive development and learning and the level of understanding of the content and language of cinema present recurrently in everyday and the formation of the cultural repertoire of elementary school students I. Despite being widely present in the daily lives of children, either to amuse or inform, the movie does not get the attention it deserves within the school environment. This observation has stimulated the development of a research project from the Stimulus Program to Graduate Teaching about how this way of interpreting reality and construction of historical knowledge can be used as an educational tool in teaching history on the subject of history and culture of indigenous peoples.
