Desafios para a abordagem etnorracial no ambiente escolar

Abstract

In the present thesis we investigate the challenges for the implementation of the Law Nº.10.639/03, in the Instituto Federal de Educação Ciência e Tecnologia Goiano, at the (IF Goiano - Campus Ceres). This law constitutes one of the affirmative action policies based on historical and social dimensions that seek to combat racism and prejudice affecting the black population in Brazil. We investigate if there are and what are the initiatives of school authorities for the promotion and recognition of actions for equality ethno-racial relations and the exercise of full citizenship. Taking into consideration the school routine, it is seen as a collective learning space, of respect and value of the differences; if the Political and Pedagogical Project presents possibilities and suggestions for the curriculum organization to be also taken from the point of view Afro-Brazilian, in which the construction process and approaches around learning are empowering of a perspective of anti-racist education. The unrest t driving us to the choice of theme ethno-racialism comes from the understanding that the school should be seen as a place of emancipation opportunities, which is only possible if it is capable of devising a political intervention that addresses an anti-discrimination pedagogy and evaluative ethno-racial specifics, that is, promoter of human emancipation. We´ve proved that 62% of students who are currently composing the IFGoiano Campus Ceres are black or afro-descendants. We´ve used a methodology centered on a investigative proposal critic of the present reality in everyday school life. We´ve made use of qualitative research, analyzing public policies and representations that institutional agents involved have built about the practices as well as their interests and their contributions to human development. As supporting and theoretical basis, we´ve used the theoretical studies that have looked into the issue in ethno-racial school environment. The main categories of analysis that makes this more scientific and the object of our study were: Ideology, Public Policy, Intercultural and Multicultural, Racism and Prejudice, Power and Social Representations. In order to better understand and investigate the space searched, we categorized the data in: environment, experiences, limits and possibilities. We concluded that the limits are centered on silent racism; lack of making the law public as well as the non existence of a qualification course. Also the possibilities of attending these norms seemed promising in this institution, where many of the participants have demonstrated awareness of the importance of addressing the issue in ethno-racial education.
