CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ETHNIC-RACIAL RELATIONS EDUCATION IN UNDERGRADUATE COURSES AT IF GOIANO
Education for Ethnic-Racial Relations; Law 10.639/2003; Teacher Training; Curriculum.
This research analyzes the applicability of Law No. 10.639/2003 in teacher training programs at the Instituto Federal Goiano (IF Goiano), focusing on the campuses of Urutaí and Morrinhos, located in the region of the former railway line. The study assumes that, despite the legal requirement, the curricular integration of ethnic-racial relations in these degree programs remains insufficient, compromising the initial preparation of teachers for an effectively antiracist educational practice. Based on a qualitative and documentary methodology, supported by content analysis (Bardin, 2011; Fonseca, 2015), the study examines Pedagogical Course Projects (PPCs), institutional regulations, and records of continuing education activities. Preliminary findings reveal weaknesses in both the transversal incorporation of Afro-Brazilian history and culture and the promotion of continuous teacher training, highlighting the persistence of Eurocentric curricula. By mapping these gaps, the research aims to propose curricular reforms that reinforce Education for Ethnic-Racial Relations (ERER), aligned with public policies for equity and social justice in higher education.
