Utilização de aplicativo para contribuir no ensino do componente curricular de história no Município de Francisco Beltrão - PR

Abstract

Knowing better the history of the environment in which we live is one of the ways that students can be better. The history subject is very important in early grades as it contributes to the student’s development in understanding their own city. Knowing the monument present in the of Francisco Beltrão’s central square, Eduardo Virmond Suplicy, is a good possibility to understand a little more about the city’s history. Currently, new forms of teaching and learning contribute to making classroom content more interesting, both inside and outside the classroom. A problem is the limited availability of educational computational tools that enable the assistance of teaching history, especially in the city of Francisco Beltrão. The purpose of this work is to carry out a feasibility study to verify if pattern recognition in smartphone images can be used to develop an educational application that shows the history of the ”Cuia”monument in the municipality of Francisco Beltrão. This application is able to identify in real time the objectified monument using pattern recognition techniques (Deep Learning). In addition to this study, educators are also provided with a suggestion of activity for history teachers to apply with their students using the tool proposed in the feasibility study. It can be concluded that the feasibility study for the construction of a mobile application that recognizes the “Cuia”monument in the central square of Francisco Beltrão and a suggested activity can provide a more interactive way to learn about the city’s history.
