SANTOS, Raquel Amorim; NEVES, Joana d’Arc de Vasconcelos  and  PEREIRA, Morgana da Silva. TEACHERS' SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF ETHNIC-RACIAL RELATIONS IN BASIC EDUCATION IN THE AMAZON. Revista Teias [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.62, pp.217-236.  Epub Feb 09, 2022. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.%y.49725.

The social representations of teachers about Ethnic-Racial Relations in Basic Education were analyzed at UFPA Extension Project in Bragança - PA. The methodology was based on the qualitative approach and on the Tridimensionality of Social Representations based on Moscovici (1978), using as a data collection technique the questionnaire with semi-structured questions. Sampling was made up of 12 teachers from Basic Education who participated in extension activities. The analysis was made on the basis of the discursive dialogism of Bakhtin (2011). The main results demonstrated that the processes of teacher training are foundations for the [re] construction of pedagogical practices aimed at confronting racism, discrimination and racial prejudice, in order to contribute to the construction of the positive identity of Afro-Brazilians in the school basic. We conclude that continuing education contributes to teachers' reconceptualization of ethnic diversity and pedagogical practices aimed at promoting ethnic-racial equality.

Keywords : social representation; ethnic racial relations; teacher training.
