CAIMI, Flávia Eloisa  and  OLIVEIRA, Sandra Regina Ferreira de. Progression of the historical knowledge between the elementary school and the high school: a look at the textbook. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2017, vol.39, n.5, pp.483-495. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v39isuppl.29864.

The study is about the progression of historical knowledge, circumscribed to the transition from elementary school to high school. The integration of the three levels of schooling into the same basic education stage demands the suggestion of standards for progression. Based on this, the study draws a comparison among eight History textbook collections, investigating the strategies to ensure the progression of the historical knowledge. The analysis focus on the construction of historical temporality, due to the centrality of this concept in processes of history teaching and learning. The exposure is organized into three sections, starting with a brief discussion on the general characteristics of educational transitions, followed by a literature review about the progression of historical knowledge and ending with the analytical approach on the selected corpus. The preliminary results show that the didactic books analyzed deal with the historical temporality from the physical space, repeating in the high school the same approach of the elementary school, which evidences the limited concern with the progression and the complexity in the domain of temporal notions between these two segments.

Keywords : history teaching; historical temporality; historical knowledge.
