The Multidisciplinary Educational Technology for Ethnic-Racial Relations Education

Inspiring Black Women

Abstract

The Multidisciplinary Educational Technology (TE) “Inspiring Black Women” was created by students of the Specialization Course in Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous Knowledge and Practices in the Amazon at Federal Institute of Pará - Campus Tucuruí, created as a requirement for completing the discipline entitled “Educational Technologies Applied to Ethnic-Racial Relations in the Classroom”. The elaborated TE innovates in the process and it adds novelty and unique characteristics to a concept of board games that already exists. Within this perspective, the TE presented aims to optimize the teaching-learning process through an approach that dialogues with the school reality. The TE was applied to a group of 1st grade high school students at Escola Ana Pontes Francez in the afternoon shift. We considered that TE was efficient in providing discussions and learning about the History of Brazil, Black Women and History of the Amazon, meeting the legal requirements with regard to mandatory discussions about African and Afro-Brazilian history and culture in the content of basic education, in accordance with the Law of Basic Guidelines for National Education, in paragraph § 1 of Article 26-A of Law No. 9,394/96. We emphasize the importance of continuing to promote other works of this nature within the classroom in order to expand the public served and to enable students to strengthen their identities, promoting educational actions to combat racism and discrimination.
