The more education program as a gate for Capoeira in School

Abstract

This work presents capoeira as a pedagogical tool for contextualizing school education. Observing how the teaching of capoeira and the historical process of the African and Afro-Brazilian people, thinking of them as identities intrinsic to it, appear in the school context. In this sense, proposing the breaking of the invisibilization in the pedagogical works that provoke constructions and stereotypes about the cultural and religious manifestations of this people. It is worth mentioning that the bibliographic walk of one of the authors, based on the report of experiences lived in capoeira, inside and outside the school, envisions showing examples of profiles of professionals who develop work with capoeira at school. In this case, the locus of research will be the Educational Center Luis Eduardo Magalhães, in Sobradinho-Ba, an entity that has already developed works in two Federal Government programs, mainly the Mais Educação program, indicating the possibilities and contributions of capoeira as a tool for contextualizing the school education. The activities developed in such a context were what made it possible to know the divergences between what is proposed in Laws 10.639 / 03, as amended by Law 11.645 / 08 which deal with the teaching of Afro-Brazilian and indigenous culture and what is experienced in the programs. The contradictions that, even in chaos, fill the absence of playfulness at school very well, with actions that enable students to learn while moving, talking among themselves and with others. Boiling point to be corrected, in order to advance in pointing out the possibility of the school becoming a space for the preservation of capoeira as a Cultural and Immaterial Heritage of Humanity.
