Study of ethnic-racial themes in rural education: approaches in undergraduate courses in Brazil.
Field education, ethnic-racial relations, decolonialidade
The Field Education modality originated from the need to expand access to the educational system of public education, as well as the permanence and quality of teaching in the Campo schools. As policy, Field Education is based on the demand for specific proposals to certain subalternized social groups, which in their resistance try to re-signify education in the Brazilian context. Considering the appropriation and production of knowledge as a tool to fight for the guarantee of rights and for the recognition of differences, what I intend in this study is to understand how the construction of ethnic-racial approaches in disciplines of Brazilian Field Education degrees is given and what are the epistemological references used, with which they are compromised. In this way, I propose a comparative analysis based on the partial survey of documents of the Brazilian Field Education degree programs that can be searched and / or forwarded through the internet, such as pedagogical political projects, curricula and syllabuses related to the study of ethnic-racial themes; and notwithstanding the research and analysis of documents of my case study, the Undergraduate Course in Education of the Field of UFRRJ. The importance of this study is made under the influence that Field Education researchers play, and that may or may not reconfigure the way education is perceived and offered to certain groups. Likewise, it is also necessary to reflect on the place occupied by traditional communities in a globalized, multicultural and multiethnic world marked by the colonial legacies that subalternize them; and in the production of resistance projects on Movements and struggles. The effort to discuss counter-hegemonic epistemological proposals, which criticize the effects of Western modernity, bring this study closer to decolonial intellectuals who understand Colonialidade as constitutive of modernity (in structure and imaginary) and who propose the production of a critical knowledge of resistance from the subalternates.
