Do terreiro para sala de aula: construção e uso de uma sequência didática sobre religiões de matriz africana na educação básica

Abstract

The research deals with the stereotypes related to religions of African origin and the performance of the school for their deconstruction. It makes an analysis of the presence of the enslaved African in the process of colonization of Brazil, as well as the conditions to which blacks were placed after the abolition of slavery. It points to religiosity as a fundamental element of resistance of enslaved Africans, as well as an element of their identities, and religions of African origin as a constituent element of Brazilian culture. It makes a brief journey in the legal changes that led to Law 10639/03 that deals with the mandatory teaching of African and Afro- Brazilian history and culture. It aims at the elaboration of a didactic sequence as an educational product that assists the teacher in the theme about religions of African origin. It is based on bibliographic research through books and articles, in physical and digital format referring to the themes addressed in the research.
