AFFIRMATIVE ACTIONS, COMPULSORY CURRICULUM FOR ETHNIC-RACIAL RELATIONS EDUCATION AND TEACHER TRAINING

Abstract

The article focuses on affirmative actions to promote racial equality in teacher education, supporting the curricular change and the creation of mandatory subjects in initial graduation as a fundamental strategy in Higher Education. It analyzes documentary records produced by students taking the compulsory subject of Education and Ethnic-Racial Relations, articulated with data from the experience of inspection by a control agency of the legal requirement to implement Article 26-A/LDBEN in Basic Education in Rio Grande do Sul. It highlights the destabilization built during interracial learning processes, based on the principles of whiteness that dominate teacher education and make up the ethos of educational institutions in Brazil.
