Das senzalas para as salas de aula: análise das ações docentes.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate teaching practices in detriment of racial discrimination in classroom, addressing discriminatory practices in this very same context, as well as describing teaching actions in exploring such phenomenon. Racism in school is a phenomenon that has been already debated before, but the study of causes, dynamics and consequences lies between methodological and theoretical obstacles. Thus, this study provides an analysis that contributes to teaching regarding the effectiveness of the proposal to combat racism. To accomplish this work, a bibliographical investigation was carried out followed by a field research, using semi-structured interview, with data analyzed through the content analysis of Bardin. The analysis of the data collected allowed the organization of the chapters into three categories: Difficulties and potentialities; Teaching performance; Perception of the phenomenon in the classroom. Therefore, this study provides new insights into the issue of the black child in the classroom, as an accurate study of racial discrimination as a recurring phenomenon in school context, neglected or ignored, showing that the professional performance is still poorly targeted to make a concrete contribution to black children lives.
