OTHER TIMES OF LEARNING: HISTORY AND MEMORY OF THE MUNICIPAL HIGH SCHOOL OF PIRACURUCA-PI

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to understand the History and Memory of the educational institution Ginásio Municipal de Piracuruca-PI, as a place of education for the student population of the municipality and surrounding regions; in addition, to analyze the institution as a space for the city's school memory. Methodologically, the research is centered on sources that refer to school culture, contemplating the documentation produced by the school and/or archived therein, such as the founding minutes, official journal, internal regulations, books and enrollment forms, photographs of teachers, students, employees, events (mostly civic). The theoretical-historiographical framework is based on the discussions proposed by Jureni Bitencourt (1989) and Maria do Carmo Brito (2002), which contribute to the understanding of the local history of Piracuruca; Jacques Le Goff (2012), which support the discussions regarding memory; and Márcio Cano (2012), Flavio Berutti and Adhemar Marques (2009), who address the relationship between history and education. Given the above, this research has academic and scientific relevance, since it is immersed in the field of History, Memory, and School Education, contributing to new studies in and of the historiography of Piauí. It also has social relevance, since it affects the construction of historical consciousness, especially about the valorization of the memory of school institutions, in the formation of citizenship.
