Περιγραφή:Based on the notion of conscientization developed by Paulo Freire, the aim of this essay is to present photography as a pedagogical resource capable of generating curiosity, reflection and criticality on the part of students. In this way, it is understood that photography can contribute to the practice of critical pedagogy in History classes, although not only in this subject. The references are classic works by Paulo Freire and studies on the photographic object and the teaching of history. It is argued that photography, as a historical source, does not attest to reality as it was at the time it was recorded, as it is a representation of reality and is committed to certain interests. In the classroom, students should question the content of this document under the guidance and encouragement of their teachers. The text concludes with a suggestion for a critical pedagogical practice with the aim of demonstrating that photography, when used well, contributes to the reflective process and to the formation of subjects who are committed to transforming the reality in which they live. Therefore, photography helps in the transition from naive to critical consciousness, an essential element in Paulo Freire's works.
