A IMPORTÂNCIA DA LITERATURA E DO ENSINO AFRORREFERENCIADOS NA FORMAÇÃO DOCENTE: REFLEXÕES DE UMA EXPERIÊNCIA EXTENSIONISTA NA UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DA PARAÍBA

Abstract

In a decolonized and poetic perspective, Rufino (2021) defines education as a “living radical that assembles, snatches and illuminates the beings and things of the world”. In other words, it gives life and significance to our existence as thinking and plural beings. The main objective of this course conclusion work, in addition to the discussion of Laws 10.639/03 and 11.645/8 and their purpose in educational institutions, is to discuss the importance and relevance of proposing a pluriracial education during teacher training itself, the from reflections on the possible paths of transformation given to the experiences in the university extension project, Tessituras Negras, linked to the Extension Scholarship Program (PROBEX) of the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB). For this, the following specific objectives were outlined: To explain the importance of counter-hegemonic teacher training through university extension and continuing education; Identify the challenges between theory and practice when thinking and proposing an Afro-referenced teaching, as well as highlighting them; Present the experiences and results seen in the extension project: Tessituras Negras. To achieve these objectives, the products and reports of the educators participating in the extension projects were analyzed. Therefore, this work brings to light the following questions: How to transform Brazilian black literature into a pedagogical tool? Furthermore, aware that there is a jurisdiction over the teaching of black history and literature, why is the absence of such literature in the classroom still common? What causes these teachers not to work on these issues, even with necessary and mandatory content? Based on the experiences lived in the aforementioned extension project, we propose a path that delimits, debates and investigates the reality of the educators participating in the project, with regard to the teaching of black literature in Brazil, consequently promoting an anti-racist education.
