Ensino de língua portuguesa na escola quilombola: trajetórias, possibilidades e desafios na Comunidade Saracura, município de Santarém-Pa

Abstract

Teaching the Portuguese language in a quilombola context is essential for local appreciation and memory, and in this sense, the research aims to analyze the practices, activities, trajectories and voices of teachers who work in teaching the Portuguese language in the quilombola community of Saracura, located in the municipality of Santarém-Pa. The methodology involved field research, application of a questionnaire of questions related to the life and school trajectories of the two Portuguese language teachers from Escola Nossa Senhora do Livramento in the Saracura quilombo, participants in the research. Subsequently, the interview was recorded and transcribed for the work, in addition, the work was also constructed through bibliographic research. This research revealed that the partnership between school and community has brought positive results in terms of valuing the history and memory of the quilombo, but that there is also difficulty on the part of teachers in including racial themes in classes because they do not have adequate training or access to supporting teaching materials. These results show that it is possible to build anti-racist education in the quilombola school, seeking to introduce the community's local and cultural knowledge in the construction of pedagogical practices in teaching the Portuguese language. Finally, it was concluded that the teaching of the Portuguese language focused on ethnic and racial teaching in the quilombola school will form citizens who are aware and proud of their origins, in addition to the fact that the history of the quilombo itself will always remain alive, thus promoting development for the community.
