Abstract

SANTOS, Sônia Maria dos  and  MARRA, Marisa Francisca Galdeano. The experience of producing oral sources for the History of School Institutions. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.21, e088.  Epub Sep 13, 2022. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v21-2022-88.

As a research methodology, oral history stands out in the history of school institutions, either as a research guide. In part, it allows making sources to study realities whose material records of the past are not available. This methodology guided the research underlying the study to which it text is linked, a master’s thesis on a Catholic school, the Externato Santa Teresinha. This methodology helped to structure and unfold the research, as well as to broaden sources scope. In this sense, this text reports the experience of producing sources according to oral history for such research, through an interview with five collaborators who participated in the history of that educational institution. The expectation is that this text may be pertinent and important to think of problems that permeate the production of oral sources and that it may inspire others to use oral history.

Keywords : History of school institutions; Research methodology; Catholic school.
