GÊNERO E ETNIA: O QUE OS DOCUMENTOS OFICIAIS REVELAM SOBRE EDUCAÇÃO E DIVERSIDADE

Abstract

This dissertation is linked to the research group Youth and Education of PUC Goiás, and registered in the CNPQ. The general objective of this study is to analyze, along with the official documents of Brazilian education, from 1990 to the year 2015, the attributed meanings to gender and ethnic-racial diversity, and their impact on the political pedagogical projects of Basic Education. And specific objectives were: to understand the political project of the World Bank and international organizations for educational policies, especially in relation to diversity; to present the main discussions on gender, race and ethnicity in the International Conferences, from 1990 to 2015; to analyze the political, economic and socio-cultural foundations that constitute principles in the formulation and implementation of diversity policies (gender and ethnic-racial). The theoretical bases that supported this research were the studies on culture, especially the studies of Raymond Willians; the concept of identity, difference and multiculturalism (HALL, 2003) and interculturalism (SILVEIRA, 2008). In addition to studies on diversity and education, by CANDAU (1997, 2002, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012), among other authors. Concepts of gender, race, and ethnicity, as well as their overlapping, are discussed through cross-sectional studies (CRENSHAW, 2002). This concept asserts that gender social issues and ethnic-racial relations gain greater discriminatory relevance when perceiving difference within difference. Also, from the studies of Nancy Fraser (2006), the twodimensional model on inequalities is discussed. To understand the focus of this study, educational policies for diversity are presented; the World Bank / UNESCO relationship, with the educational issues of developing countries. The main world conferences and their proposals are related in the construction of an education for diversity, ending with the analysis of the Brazilian legislation (1990 to 2015), on gender and ethnic-racial diversity. It is a qualitative, bibliographical and documentary research, having as methodological procedure the Documentary Analysis. The documentary analysis constitutes a methodological procedure of investigation of the social reality, whose conceptions are broad, being based by diverse philosophical conceptions on the research used in the approaches of positivist nature, as qualitative and of more character that is critical. The results point out that the Brazilian legislation tries to meet certain goals imposed by the World Bank, but it does not want to be in relation to the demands of organized social movements and especially in the alteration of school curricula to meet the social and theoretical perspectives of diversity. ethnic-racial issues have been incorporated more clearly into the curriculum and in the Pedagogical Political Projects, while gender issues appear little in the document and still less in the school curriculum.
