HISTORY TEACHING AND APPLIED ORAL HISTORY

Abstract

In this article, we try to demonstrate the presence of oral memory in history teaching. We are interested in the articulation of the oral manifestation of memory with applied oral history according to the line of research of the Center for Studies in Oral History - NEHO/USP and the Laboratory for Studies in Applied Oral History - LABHOP/UFGD. The result was to offer alternative paths for history teachers who want to use oral history approaches in the classroom in primary and secondary schools. We highlight the narrative genres - already found in academic research and in oral history handbooks - capable of mobilizing students' historical sensitivity beyond "official documents" with general prescriptions: oral life history, thematic oral history, testimonial oral history and oral tradition.
