A educação para as relações étnico-raciais na educação infantil: um estudo sobre práticas pedagógicas na creche da Unidade de Educação Básica Monsenhor Frederico Chaves

Abstract

The research deals with Education for Ethnic-Racial Relations in Early Childhood Education. The research location was the Monsenhor Frederico Chaves Basic Education Unit, specifically in two three-year-old nursery rooms, in the afternoon shift. The research was based on the following question: The general objective of the research was: How can the theme of Education for Ethnic-Racial Relations in the curricular context of Early Childhood Education, specifically with daycare children (3 years old) be materialized through a Pedagogical Notebook of Pedagogical Practices for ethnic-racial education in daycare? The Dissertation is divided into three parts, namely: bibliographical, empirical and an applicability proposal. The bibliographical part describes sections that deal with the historical process of the child as a social subject and Law No. 10,639/03 as a curricular proposal for Early Childhood Education. In the empirical part, we discuss the characterization of the daycare center at the Monsenhor Frederico Chaves Basic Education Unit; the methodological steps of the research and the analyzes and interpretations of the research participants. Next, a proposal for an educational product was presented, using the Pedagogical Practices Notebook for ERES in daycare centers (03 years old). The notebook is composed of 04 (four) guidelines and pedagogical actions. Due to Covid 19, it was not possible to apply the educational product at the educational institution selected for the research. Therefore, we rely on Normative Instruction No. 04/2020/PPGEEB/UFMA, which makes the applicability of the product optional. The main bibliographic sources used in the research were: Abramowciz (2015), Amaral (2018), Barbosa (2006), Bento (2011), Brito (2011), Cavalleiro (2020), Duarte (2013), Gomes (2017), among others. The data collection instruments used were systematic observation, semi-structured interviews, experiments, document analysis and photographs. The research concluded that the researched school needs greater investments in the perspective of continued training on Ethnic-Racial Education in Early Childhood Education, specifically for the Afro-Brazilian and Afro-Maranhense population.
