Política de ação afirmativa no ensino médio integrado: ação educativa em arquivo para o ensino da História e Cultura Afro-brasileira no contexto da Lei 10.639/2003

Abstract

In the context of affirmative policies in Brazil, Law 10,639/2003 was instituted, which established the mandatory teaching of Afro-Brazilian History and Culture in public and private schools, at elementary and secondary levels. However, more than fifteen years after its enactment, its implementation remains a challenge. This work aimed to present the educational action in archives as a strategy for the teaching of Afro-Brazilian History and Culture at the Instituto Federal de Alagoas (IFAL). The qualitative research was carried out, of an applied nature. The procedure was action research. The application context was the Marechal Deodoro/IFAL campus and the Public Archive of Alagoas (APA). The research participants were the History professors of IFAL and the 2nd and 3rd year students of the Technical Courses in Tourism Guide and the Environmental Technician, from the Marechal Deodoro campus and a representative of the APA. The data collection method used the techniques of participant observation, document analysis and application of questionnaires. As a result of the research, it was verified that the educational action is a reality of the APA. The institution is open to welcome the school public. In its collection there are newspapers, crafts, correspondence, books, certificates, inventories that can be transformed into didactic resources for the teaching of Afro-Brazilian History. Itis considered that the study expands the discussions about educational action in archives, presents the relevance of interdisciplinarity to solve concrete social situations. It also contributes to actions aimed at implementing Law 10,639/2003 in Integrated High School in Alagoas. Finally, a digital booklet entitled Arquivo Público de Alagoas is created as an educational product as a non-formal educational space for the teaching of Afro-Brazilian History and Culture. This material connects the History teacher with primary sources and allows carrying out educational practices at the APA.
