EDUCAÇÃO PARA RELAÇÕES ÉTNICO RACIAIS EM GEOGRAFIA: IDENTIFICAÇÃO DE ALGUNS ASPECTOS PRESENTES NO CURRÍCULO DE REFERÊNCIA ÚNICO DO ACRE DA ÁREA DE GEOGRAFIA DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL II

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to discuss how Geography can contribute to the development of teaching about racial diversity, more specifically, the teaching of Afro-Brazilian and indigenous history and culture from what is ensured in Law 11.645/2008, drawing a parallel with the analysis of the Single Reference Curriculum of Acre in the curriculum component of Geography, final years of elementary school, to identify how this theme is proposed in the curriculum of this discipline. From the notes made about the education of ethnic-racial relations in Geography, it is possible to affirm that the subject has the necessary instruments, according to the themes it approaches, for the promotion, together with other areas of knowledge, of education for ethnic-racial relations. In the Single Reference Curriculum of Acre, the objects of knowledge that give room for addressing the ethnic-racial theme are highlighted extensively. Those that are more specific are found in the curricular organizing chart of the eighth grade, starting with the theme of the African continent. Thus, it is understood that the Geography teacher, more attentive to ethnic-racial issues and committed to education that involves developing positive and respectful ethnic-racial relationships, will work on these issues in depth in the classroom environment.
