Memórias presentes no Museu Histórico Moacir Andrade: contribuições na construção da Educação Profissional e Tecnológica

Abstract

This present study conducted at the Moacir Andrade Historical Museum, affiliated with the Federal Institute of Amazonas – Manaus Centro Campus, within the scope of the research line "Organization and Memories of Pedagogical Spaces of Professional and Technological Education," part of the Professional Master's in Professional and Technological Education. Based on Content Analysis (Bardin, 2016), the research aimed to analyze the Moacir Andrade Museum's collection within the context of preserving institutional memory. To this end, the collections that comprise the institution's history were examined, as well as some of the works by the Amazonian artist for whom the space is named. Furthermore, semi-structured interviews were conducted with two professors and two staff members, which contributed to the consolidation of the research objectives. The results demonstrated gaps in the adequacy and systematization of the space, highlighting the need for more effective policies to preserve and enhance institutional memory. However, it was found that the pedagogical use of the museum has great potential for strengthening integral human development within the scope of Professional and Technological Education, as it enables the articulation between memory, identity and educational practices in the Amazonian context.
