Sujeitos de experiência: professores de história no uso pedagógico do Museu de Artes e Ofícios

Abstract

The present article brings part of a doctoralresearch where the relationship between History teachers and the exhibition at the Museu de Artes e Ofícios (Arts and Crafts Museum), in Belo Horizonte city, is investigated. It presents the teacher’s sensory experiences at the museum, and the choices they make to discuss and to teach History. This work states that the potential of museums for teaching History lays in the form they displays objects, images and captions, and it analyzes data on the mediation offered to teachers by those museums. It argues that museal education runs through sensible experiences and that, therefore, the educational sector programs and projects are potent for teacher’s training, which is procedural, critical, and reflective. As a research method, questionnaires and narrative interviews have been done during the museum exhibition.
