RESUMO

This work has, as indicated on its subtitle, the aim to be a contribution to the Didactics of History. Taking into account the conception that the Didactics of History should perform a own field of studies that allows a better integration between the formal research of academicals History and its school version, this study proposes to investigate one of the main components of this new paradigm to the science of History: the historical consciousness. Between the many aspects of the historical consciousness we assumed the premise that some of its components are not completely conscious by the individuals or collective agents when this general process of human on the time acts on the acquisition and use of the historical experience. Being the historical consciousness an open structure to the experience and symbolic form that give its mean, we searched for an epistemic access to this phenomenon by a theoretical collisions process with other two fields: the social representations and the ideology. Starting from this dialogue we build our empirical research instrument, based on the focus groups technique, in with we gave the privilege to two axis of analysis: one about the idea of history that explores what High School students think about the concept of history and another about he meaning of history used to try to understand the notion on the investigate groups about history as a process. From this investigation we can detach two results that reinforced the need for comprehension about the concept of historical consciousness to the teaching of History. The evidence that the investigated groups take the history, by one side, as a process that unite the three dimensions of time, similarly to the philosophical concept of historical world, and that they attribute, mainly, a decadence sense to the civilization, generally in a fatalist way. The catalytic element of this vision is notion of time, which permeates the idea of history and a relation of deep ambivalence with the technology used as a parameter to think meaning of history. The constitution of History as an academicals discipline as well is displacement in relation to its school version is analyzed with the Thomas Kuhns concept of paradigm or disciplinary matrix. Our conclusions try do detach the importance to work in direction of a new paradigm on the science of History which takes in account the needs for orientation that in fact begins outside of the field of the science and, assuming this conception, must return from the science in form of existential orientation to be able to dialogue with the quotidian philosophy of history.
