Study and Research Groups

ANIME – Anthropology, Imaginary and Education

Leader: Prof Julvan Moreira de Oliveira

he group focuses on the consolidation of a hermeneutical symbolic educational reflection of anthropological nature, thus becoming a highly pedagogical experience for the understanding of the human phenomenon. In that way, the group does not focus only on anthropological studies of school, but on changing how we look at them. Local knowledge, ethical-cultural diversity, the complexity and subjectivity on the everyday life receive our attention, meaning we cast another look on the educational practice, on this transitional dialectic between organizational culture and emergent cultures.

CRONOS – History Teaching, Memory and School Knowledge

Leader:Prof. Sonia Miranda/ Prof. Fabiana Rodrigues de Almeida

Memory, in its dynamics between remembrance and oblivion, has been fixed in contemporaneity as a central element before the fast transformation and fugacity of the present, in a way that it collaborates to the new processes of constitution of individual and social identities that affect without distinction the adult’s and the child’s universes.

GEPACEH – Group for Study and Research in Evaluation, Curriculum, and the Teaching of History

Leader: Prof. Marcus Leonardo Bomfim Martins

The focus of the group is to problematize issues related to the teaching and learning of History from a discursive approach that simultaneously interpellates the Curriculum, the Evaluation, the History and the Teaching of History as fields, but also as objects of research. Thinking about the curriculum, the evaluation, the teaching-learning processes and the school, even when not linked to the discipline of History, also constitutes the scope of studies and research of the group.
