SUMMARY:

This dissertation aimed to develop an educational approach that raised awareness among elementary school students in the Juremal community, located in the city of Baraúna, Rio Grande do Norte, about the preservation of the environmental and cultural heritage of the Furna Feia National Park, combining speleology and archaeology. This approach was interdisciplinary and critical. To this end, the research was structured in three stages: (1) Bibliographic and Documentary Survey; (2) Development and Application of the Teaching Sequence; and (3) Impact Assessment and Resignification. The results suggest a significant increase in students' knowledge of the park and its heritage. 53% of students reported being unfamiliar with the National Park before the intervention, but after the teaching sequence was implemented, this percentage dropped to 21%. The data also indicated a stronger sense of belonging, appreciation for local heritage, and greater student engagement in conservation practices and the dissemination of acquired knowledge. As theoretical contributions, the study highlights the importance of heritage education as a process of identity building and critical awareness, also fostering cultural engagement within the community. Therefore, the pedagogical practice developed in the Juremal community in Baraúna, Rio Grande do Norte, proves to be a model that can be replicated in other regions, demonstrating that natural and cultural heritage can and should be integrated into history teaching as a tool for civic development.
