MORAIS, Rodrigo Fernandes  and  SANTOS, Antonio Carlos Fontes dos. THE IMPORTANCE OF A CURRICULUM WITH AFROCENTRATED ELEMENTS TO BUILD A LESS EUROCENTRATED EPISTEMOLOGICAL VISION. Rev. Exitus [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.4, pp.66-94.  Epub May 15, 2020. ISSN 2237-9460.  https://doi.org/10.24065/2237-9460.2019v9n4id1005.

Our intention in this essay is to show how the Eurocentric curriculum and the Eurocentric pedagogical practices perpetuate the coloniality of knowledge and being, leading the students’ imaginary and beliefs constantly toward the epistemological north. In this sense, our scope is to unveil that both the hegemonic science and technologies were also built by African and afrodiasporic Scientists and, in this sense, we seek to leave an incentive for the educators of physics and sciences to be able to overcome the low self-esteem and the feeling of inferiority that immobilize black students from the examples that will be cited and countless references that during the living wheel of history have been forgotten, erased or obliterated.

Keywords : Teaching physics; Scientists; Coloniality.
