A questão indígena no ensino de história através da produção do jornal

Abstract

In this research was carried out some analysis on the way it has been worked indigenous issues in education and teaching materials. We tried to observe the steps recommended by Law Nº. 11.645/2008, which is required to teach indigenous subjects in basic education throughout the country, and also makes some notes about the trajectory of colonization in Mato Grosso, which results in different forms of loss to indigenous peoples. The research was developed through qualitative research, seeking to understand through the main theoretical references the impacts of the occupation/colonization process in Mato Grosso on the indigenous societies of this state. In this way, the work sought to analyze students' conceptions of a socially relevant issue - indigenous sociocultural representations - investigating how the information appropriation process was developed to reformulate them. This research was done through an elaborated questionnaire and then applied in the classroom, which served as the basis for the application of an intervention proposal, consisting of the making of a newspaper by students through guided research in history classes. The objective is to contribute - through an approximation with the reading of the academic productions on the subject - with the expansion of the students' perspective on the indigenous social reality. Since school is a privileged space for many students to come into contact with cultural diversity, this law reinforces the fundamental role of education and history teaching in promoting transformations in the perspective of these subjects about indigenous peoples. However, it is observed that, even after ten years of the approval of Law Nr. 11.645/2008, there are still latent misunderstandings and prejudices in textbooks and the permanence of a Eurocentric vision in the treatment of this theme, which has contributed to the permanence of a stereotyped conception of indigenous peoples.
