Opis

The view of the medieval period is associated with darkness and chaos. There is talk of a society characterised by violence, poor cultural development and great mysticism. Is this really the true face of the Middle Ages? In this work we try to understand the representations of the period in the teaching of History in the public and private schools of Pouso Alegre-Minas Gerais, through the eyes of those who work with this subject on a daily basis: the teachers. Using a questionnaire, we sought to identify the views held and transmitted on a daily basis in the classroom. This is the place where history is constructed, felt and experienced.
