Protagonismo de crianças negras na educação infantil do campo: brincadeiras e igualdade de gênero

Abstract

We notice in our daily school life discriminatory, prejudiced and inferior practices, this framework of aggressions and denials of rights, we can also add racism and other practices directly related to their ethnic, Afro-descendant belongings guided by a set of social rules and cultural standards that it remains attached to the conception that black men and women are inferior. Our research proposal proposed the investigation, from the teaching practice, of the place of games in promoting gender and ethnic-racial equality in early childhood education, and how these could contribute to the protagonism of black girls, from from the understanding that the adoption of an adequate pedagogical practice would contribute to the construction of the identities of protagonist black children. The research was conducted at the Yayá Tavares Municipal Elementary and Kindergarten School, in the municipality of São Sebastião de Lagoa de Roça – PB, in a multigrade class of Maternal, Pre – I and Pre – II. It was an action research, and adopted the research-teaching modality that makes the teacher a researcher, allowing him/herself to find answers that contribute to the construction of an adjusted knowledge their reality, so that with the results obtained they can (re)adapt their pedagogical practice, enabling professional improvement. For that, we take as theoretical support the contributions of Benevides (2009), Freire (2005), Louro (1997), Zanelli (2002) among others. Based on our research, we developed and proposed a notebook of pedagogical guidelines that has practices, toys and games that promote ethnic-racial and gender equality, as well as information on such themes, demonstrating the importance of such issues in the construction of a society fairer and more egalitarian. Finally, we understand that a critical and effective education is one that produces knowledge and promotes the construction of values such as respect, empathy and brotherhood among subjects.
