Memórias e saberes de Caiana dos crioulos na formação de professores: modos e formas de aprender na educação escolar quilombola

Abstract

The cultural practices that are part of the memory of the Caiana dos Crioulos Community are fundamental for the educational formation of the children who live in this territory and the teachers who work in the community's school space. This work aims to investigate how the knowledge of the elderly in the Caiana dos Crioulos Quilombola Community, mediated by memory, contributes to the training of teachers in Alagoa Grande - PB - and how memory and local tradition knowledge develop educational practices that enable learning in the context of Quilombola School Education. It is a qualitative research of the ethnographic type, in interface with the bibliographical research, with an approach to oral history through thematic interview and the technique of participant observation. We work with the concept of memory elaborated by Pollak (1992) and Halbwachs (1950), ethnic-racial and quilombola education, from the perspective of Gomes (2012), and teacher education from the perspective of Ibernón (2016) and Tardif (2000). We used as a source the Curriculum Guidelines for Ethnic-Racial Relations and the Guidelines for Quilombola School Education, which deal with the subject. The research was developed at the Firmo Santino da Silva Municipal School of Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education, in Caiana dos Crioulos - Alagoa Grande - PB. The subjects were five teachers from the early years of basic education, in the morning shift, and five elderly residents of the respective community. Based on the studies carried out, we consider that the memories of the elderly in the quilombo are educational, because they are knowledge that enables the formation of teachers for an educational practice that dialogues with school knowledge and community knowledge. Throughout the journey, discussions ascended to the realization of thematic pedagogical workshops, which resulted in the development of an educational product, a Pedagogical Notebook that aims to contribute to school education in the community through pedagogical actions developed with teachers.
