A valorização da diversidade cultural e étnica na construção do conhecimento geográfico: a importância das leis 10.639/03 e 11.645/08 no ensino fundamental II

Abstract

The research seeks to analyze the importance of including the themes of laws 10.639/03 and 11.645/08 in Elementary School Geography classes, aiming to promote a more inclusive education and awareness of ethnic-racial diversity in Brazil. The laws determine the inclusion of Afro-Brazilian, African, and indigenous history and culture in school curricula, seeking to combat structural racism and promote the appreciation of the contributions of these groups to the formation of Brazilian society. Geography, as a discipline that studies geographic space and its social relations, plays a fundamental role in this context, allowing students to understand the interaction between the physical, human and cultural aspects of the environment in which they live. The research aims to analyze the importance of dealing with the laws in Geography classes, identifying specific contents, pedagogical strategies and challenges for their implementation, contributing to a reflection on educational practice and the promotion of racial equity in school.
