Evaluation and teaching of History in Brazil: trajectories

Abstract

The article presents partial results of a documentary research on evaluation and teaching of History, based on documents that guide the teaching of History in Brazil, such as curricular documents and manuals intended for teachers. It was a qualitative documentary research in historical perspective. The partial results indicated that the evaluation in History was formed from conceptions based on the acquisition of contents and competencies, without taking into account the specificity of historical knowledge. This indicates the importance of systematizing evaluation categories in History that take into account the formation and progression of historical thought itself.
