ÈTÒ Ẹ̀KỌ́ ÀTI ÒMÌNIRA1 : vivências de estudantes candomblecistas em institutos federais

Abstract

This dissertation has the objective of pointing out the difficulties faced by students practicers of Candomblé in the Federal Institutes of Education Baiano and of Bahia, in order to make it possible for the school community and its managers to know the issues related to this population, as well as the construction of strategic proposals for overcoming them in the institutional scope. The elaboration of the documentary as a product of this research aimed to create a tool to induce the reflective process and changes in conceptions regarding the religious guard of students “filhos de santo” in the Federal Institutes. In this work, I discuss the consequences of the socio-historical process of slavery in the subsequent construction of post-abolition religious and structural racism in Brazil and its implications for the school experiences of students from the Federal Institutes who practice Candomblé. This study is guided by the analysis of documents, legislation and bibliographic references relevant to the life of the black population and, in particular, the people of “terreiros” that practice Candomblé, as well as the access of this population to education. With a qualitative methodological nature, supported by the modality of phenomenology, the aforementioned documentary consists of interviews involving students, professors, pedagogical advisory staff and managers involved in the process on different campuses of the Federal Institute Baiano and the Federal Institute of Bahia. Throughout the research, it was verified how the Candomblecist student suffers consequences of structural racism, institutional racism and religious racism during their school experience, including the denial of the right to replacement of classes, to evaluation, to the process of construction of didactic-pedagogical mechanisms to minimize the impacts of periods of religious recollection, among other aspects. In addition, it is expected that the final product will guide actions aimed at ensuring this student the full right to the teaching and learning processes, guaranteeing their right to education, religious observance and freedom of worship, as recommended by current legislation.
