Estudo das percepções de professores de Ciências e Biologia sobre a educação para as relações étnico-raciais (ERER): em escolas públicas do município de Capanema/PA

Abstract

This course completion study aimed to study the perceptions of Science and Biology teachers about Education for Ethnic-Racial Relations (ERER) in public schools in the city of Capanema/PA. The study was carried out by surveying specialized literature on the subject and applying semi-structured questionnaires, with a qualitative and exploratory approach. The study's primary data were collected from Science and Biology teachers from 4 (four) public state schools in Capanema/PA. The analyzes made it possible to evaluate the implementation of ERER with regard to the challenges faced by teachers in addressing this topic. It is noteworthy that it is possible to perceive a disproportionality in relation to other subjects covered in the classroom with content related to social inequalities, racism, insults and measuresto combat prejudice and discrimination. It was noted that there were difficulties in relating the teaching of Science and Biology with ERER. It is concluded that there is a need for specific approaches to issues of an ethnic-racial nature, both in initial and continuing training, as well as events that promote strategies on how to approach the subject of ERER and relate it to other subjects and activities in the school calendar.
