SILVA, Rodrigo Manoel Dias da. SCHOOL, LOCAL RELATIONS AND COMMUNITY BUILDING: TEACHING AND LEARNING ABOUT THE MUNICIPAL TERRITORY IN THE INITIAL YEARS OF SCHOOLING. Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.70, pp.76-90.  Epub Aug 29, 2023. ISSN 2358-0194.  https://doi.org/10.21879/faeeba2358-0194.2023.v32.n70.p76-90.

This article aims to analyze the ways in which the teaching of Human Sciences in the early years of schooling addresses the municipal territory and community relations in schools located in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, in Southern Brazil. It analyzes semi-structured interviews carried out with teachers working at that level of education, applied in a remote format, favoring the use of electronic messaging applications. The results are analyzed in the light of the theoretical contributions of Arjun Appadurai, Bell Hooks and Alexis Rancionero Ragué and highlight three analytical considerations: (a) most of the teachers claim to privilege, within the scope of their lesson plans, the contexts experienced by the students and communities; (b) traditional teaching approaches guided by civic dates and commemorations promoted in the official calendar of the municipalities are still in force; and (c) it appears that the teaching of Human Sciences in the first years of schooling provides conditions for the realization of a territorial education, capable of guiding pedagogical practices for the appreciation of territories and cultures and for the engagement of school actors in projects of community development.

Keywords : School; Territory; Community; Teaching of Human Sciences.
