Educação escolar quilombola : produção de material didático para o ensino de história em comunidades quilombolas

Abstract

This work deals with quilombola school education and its general objective is to understand the process of production of teaching materials for the reality of quilombos. This work arises from the contact with the Community of Cashew Tree I of Alcântara - MA, through the Institutional Extension Scholarship Program of the State University of Maranhão (PIBEX) with a period from 2019 to 2020. We adopted for bibliographical research the theoretical support of authors such as Almeida (2002), Moura (2007), Lima (2006), in order to understand the dynamics of quilombos and their concepts. In addition to Hofstaetter (2015) Soares (2016), Cruz & Rodrigues (2017), Carril (2017), to provide support in relation to quilombola educational issues and production of teaching materials. Legal documents were also essential, such as the Brazilian Constitution of 1988 and LDBEN n. 9.394/96., Law No. 10639/03 which provided great support for the creation of the National Curriculum Guidelines for Quilombola School Education (DCNEEQ). Documentary and bibliographic research was used as a methodology. Through research, it was possible to see that quilombola school education is still crawling and needs to receive more attention in several basic aspects, such as the structure of schools, teacher training, who often find themselves without didactic support. The teaching of History is of great importance in this context, as the subject has the ability to use the past to value and create the culture of quilombola communities, but it does not always find the necessary support in textbooks to achieve the objective proposed by specific education. The production of textbooks/materials becomes important for being able to assist the teacher in teaching as long as it can cover everyday issues of the quilombola community and, in this way, it can contribute, both to education, to improve self-esteem and conservation of the population's knowledge, making the Quilombola School Education an affirmative action in fact.
