Etnia negra nos livros didáticos do ensino fundamental : transposição didática e suas implicações para o ensino das ciências

Abstract

The present work searched to investigate as the concept of black ethnic would be being propagated for didactic books of Sciences and the implications of this propagation for the pedagogical work of the professors, for believing that it is through the contact with our body and with the body of the other that differences fenotic are transformed into overvalued superiority and they will be white and lowered and undervalued they will be black. Such fact in them motivated the accomplishment of this study, considering the pedagogical speech of books of Sciences and the relations between physical differences, race and ethnic in the texts and illustrations presented there. The study it was carried through in a municipal public school of the city of Recife, in 1º year of 4º cycle of Basic Education, considering being the human body the main curricular content of this group, during all the school year. To get the desired objective, we use as methodological support the Interactive Methodology (OLIVEIRA, 2005), through comments, interviews, questionnaires and documentary analysis. With these procedures we can identify the conceptions of the didactic book authors, of the professors and the pupils concerning the manifestations of racism. We evidence that in general rule the ethnic concept does not appear and is not worked of explicit form in didactic books, as much in speaks of the professors and how much in the ones of the pupils, although many scientists and intellectuals using in substitution to the race concept. Through collected and analyzed data, it is possible to affirm that in the daily one of this school, the process of didactic transposition in disciplines of Science, on the content human body is marked by the propagation of preconception and discrimination, consisting in institutional racism of not contemplating excellent aspects of the corporeidade and black identities. As recommendations for advance of the knowledge, we consider excellent the investment in the continued formation of professors, in way who can arrive in port to its to make pedagogical, the education of the ethnic-racial relations that it makes possible to reconstruct those propagated by didactic books of prejudiced and discriminatory form as well as, to proceed to a criterions choice from these same books.
