EDUCATION FOR ETHNIC-RACIAL RELATIONS IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION: THE STORY OF SOPHIA

Abstract

This article is a narrative about a formative-research experience on the interaction between teacher and student produced in Physical Education classes in early childhood education. The story narrated mobilizes production of know-how that responds to a feeling marked by the other’s existence to discuss the history of African culture and black aesthetic representations. The Lesson Plan was organized according to literary language scenarios; Abayomi doll workshop; symbolic games in African and Afro-Brazilian culture. Some changes were observed in the behavior of black children, and a sense of racial belonging was identified, which was visible in the representativeness of curly hair and strengthening of their self-esteem.
