A relevância da história regional na Educação Básica: reflexões e possibilidades outras para o desenvolvimento e a valorização da identidade cultural

Abstract

This article addresses the relevance of regional history in primary education, exploring challenges and future prospects through a methodological approach based on a literature review. The introduction establishes the importance of local history in building students' cultural identity, considering it a vital tool in a globalized world. The literature review, the central methodology, provides a critical analysis of academic works, empirical studies and expert reflections, identifying challenges such as institutional resistance and a lack of specific resources. Future prospects are highlighted in the growing awareness of cultural diversity and the push for more inclusive education. Throughout the text, we address the need to transcend traditional teaching barriers and recognize regional history as a bridge between past and present. We emphasize the importance of continuous training for educators, interdisciplinarity and the incorporation of innovative methodologies, such as the use of educational technologies. The conclusion reiterates the importance of overcoming challenges to effectively promote regional history in Basic Education, highlighting the necessary commitment of educators, managers and policymakers to build a more authentic and contextualized education. The manuscript closes by emphasizing that regional history is not just a discipline, but a key to a deep understanding of the social and cultural context, enabling future generations to actively contribute to the richness of local history.
