Abstract

This work aims to understand the use of visual didactic resources (photos, videos, movies, documentaries, pictures, etc) in High School Sociology classes. The objective is to learn how such tools can contribute to understand society, as well as in what extent this understanding is based on critical thought, one of the goals of teaching Sociology in school. Through interviews with Sociology teachers from Brazilian high schools, we have also noticed that teachers have trouble developing a more consistent reflection from both methodological and sociological viewpoints, so that it makes the knowledge building through images possible. Knowledge built by Visual Sociology can improve the pedagogical experiences of teachers and enable the exercise of imagination through the education of sight.
