REIS, Maria da Conceição  and  SILVA, Claudilene Maria da. Epistemological basis of research on black population and education. Roteiro [online]. 2021, vol.46, e26312.  Epub Mar 30, 2021. ISSN 2177-6059.  https://doi.org/10.18593/r.v46i.26312.

Conceiving epistemology as the ways of reaching knowledge and the rationalities that legitimize the produced knowledge, in this work we consider epistemological bases as the theories, methodologies and authors that support research on education. We are interested, objectively, in identifying the epistemological bases that support research related to the black population and education, reflecting the advances and epistemological challenges facing hegemonic thinking in the academic production of the Post Graduation Program in Education at the Federal University of Pernambuco (PPGEdu / UFPE) in 2010-2020 period. The methodological procedure was a bibliographic survey. The dissertations and theses in education, inserted in UFPE's digital repository, were researched by us. The basic criterion for the selected works was the identification of themes related to the black population. The titles, keywords and abstracts of the works were observed through the descriptors: race, racism, racial discrimination, ethnic-racial relations, black population, black cultural manifestations and education. Twenty researches defended and published in the last ten years were found and analyzed, including 12 dissertations and 8 theses. The epistemological bases of the research were learned by reading the theoretical-methodological chapters. The results show that the academic production of PPGEdu-UFPE, regarding aspects of life, history and culture of the black population and racial relations in Brazil, although still in an incipient way, presents epistemological erasures that reveal a knowledge of break with the Eurocentric thinking’s hegemony.
