Análise da concepção de estudantes de ciências biológicas sobre o componente curricular "evolução", associado ao enfrentamento ao racismo

Abstract

Considering laws 10.639/2003 and 11.645/2008, it is noted that in the Biological Sciences course, in the bachelor's and licentiate degrees, few subjects in the curricular matrix have a syllabus that involves black and indigenous peoples, which corroborates with the lack of knowledge. Consequently, it is assumed that a course with few practices allied to the confrontation of racism and strengthening of identity. Specifically for the licentiate degree, it is necessary that the training has its practices aligned with the valorization and human diversity. Considering the present aspects, this work aims to understand the perceptions of undergraduate students in Biological Sciences regarding the teaching of evolution in basic education and undergraduate courses. The research had a qualitative approach, with a research technique, using the application of a semi-structured questionnaire via Google Forms, dealing with ERER, the teaching of evolution and the fight against racism, with a sample of 20 participants, all of whom were students from Campus II – Areia, of the Federal University of Paraíba, enrolled in the Biological Sciences course. The research registration protocol at CEP is 83526124.8.0000.5188. As a result, we reflected the little discussion and proposal of ERER within the biological curriculum and its impact on the fight against racism and curricular deconstruction. The data allow us to affirm that it is necessary to rethink the current training, whether bachelor's or licentiate degree, so that the curricular components can contribute to the formation of the citizen subject and with anti-racist practices in society.
