No compasso das Normas Curriculares no atendimento a Lei 10.639/2003: Avanços e desafios no processo de sua implantação em escolas básicas de São Luís - MA

Abstract

This work investigates what actions are being carried out so that Law 10,639/03 is included in school curricula and worked on by Basic Education teachers in São Luís, Maranhão. To achieve the proposed objectives, it is necessary to analyze the Curricular Document of the Maranhense Territory (DCTMa/2019), which presents guiding normative principles for all schools in Maranhão, with the aim of offering a set of learning for all basic education students. DCTMa is connected to the National Common Curricular Base - BNCC, which establishes the knowledge, skills and competencies that all Brazilian students must acquire throughout their basic education, adapting them to the reality and specific needs of Maranhão. Questionnaires were applied to teachers from UEB Alberto Pinheiro, who discussed the advances in Continuing Training for the quality of teaching in the Municipal Network of São Luís. We analyzed the reports of managers and teachers from municipal schools in São Luís, aspects that deal with training continued, with a view to preparing the school's Pedagogical Proposal and (re)elaborating the school curriculum, in order to align with what is required by the Maranhense Territory Curriculum Document (DCTMa). Finally, we returned to UEB Alberto Pinheiro, in October 2023, to investigate how Law 10.6390/03 has been implemented at this school. It can be concluded that the twenty years of Law 10,639 represent a period of significant advances in promoting racial equality and valuing ethnic-cultural diversity in Brazilian schools. However, continued efforts are needed to ensure effective implementation of the law in all educational institutions and promote broader and more inclusive anti-racist education. Only in this way can we build a more fair and equal society for all Brazilians.
