Photographs as a methodological device in teaching the History of Education in Pedagogy: weaving (auto)biographical narratives

Abstract

The ideas presented in this text come from a qualitative study characterized by the approach of research (auto)biographical narrative formation in education carried out in the first semester of 2021 involving 10 (ten) students of the Pedagogy course of a public institution of teaching located in the city of Codó-Ma. The aim of the study was to relate the teaching of the history of education with the memories evoked narratively in the fabric of learning, training and construction of scientific knowledge by students in the degree course in Pedagogy. As for the methodological devices, we used: photographs from family albums, narrative writings and research diary. Among the results found, we highlight the multiple reflections mediated by the telling of life stories that, perceived through photographs of family albums and (auto)biographical narrative writings, consolidate learning in formative processes. The action of seeing yourself in an image mobilizes past experiences, moves the present and projects future actions. In this interface, we conclude that students develop new possibilities to learn and learn about other knowledge about themselves, education and initial training for teaching.
