Abstract

RIBEIRO, Débora  and  DA SILVA PARREIRA GAIA, Ronan. A decolonial perspective on teacher education and education of ethnic-racial relations. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2021, vol.27, e35968.  Epub Apr 06, 2021. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.26512/lc.v27.2021.35968.

The purpose of this study is to relate teacher training and the education of ethnic-racial relations from a decolonial perspective. We start from the assumption, also reinforced by other authors, such as Coelho and Coelho (2018), Pereira and Pereira (2020), Reis (2018), among others, that teacher training is central to the construction of anti-racist education. Thus, we analyzed some research on the inclusion of the theme of education in ethnic-racial relations in teacher training courses. We conclude that this process occurs in a fragmented and insufficient way, and that, in view of a decolonial conception, the transformation of universities needs to occur in a structural way in their organization and curriculum.

Keywords : Teacher training; Education of ethnic-racial relations; College education.
