Estado do conhecimento sobre o ensino de história nas dissertações do Programa de Pós-Graduação em História da Universidade Federal de Sergipe (PROHIS-UFS) (2015-2024)

Abstract

This study analyzed master's theses that addressed history teaching between 2015 and 2025 within the Graduate Program in History (PROHIS) at the Federal University of Sergipe. The methodological framework is based on studies by authors such as Norma Sandra de Almeida Ferreira and Joana Paulin Romanowski, who wrote about the production and significance of works using the State of the Art or State of Knowledge method—the latter being the one employed in this study. The State of Knowledge enables analyses and reflections on the current paths of knowledge production within a defined area. Conducting studies that provide overviews of university production represents society's interest in understanding what is being produced in academic centers, as well as the institutions' commitment to presenting their work to the community. From this perspective, the theses from the Graduate Program in History (PROHIS) that addressed education/history teaching were examined to generate data, categorize, and analyze specific elements extracted from the documents. Following the analysis, the results point to a greater need for reflection on the social role played by the Graduate Program in History and how it positions itself in sharing knowledge through teaching.
