The quilombola school education and the Science education: theoretical considerations about one experience

Abstract

This article aims to contribute to the construction of a science curriculum those dialogues with quilombola practices. For this, we assume a Freirean perspective in our proposal and analysis. At first, we relate rural education, education for ethnic-racial relations and quilombola school education in a brief contextualization. Next, we explain our reading of the Freirean perspective and the quilombola context in science education. Then, we report, discuss and propose perspectives for the construction of science practices in dialogue with quilombola realities, based on a case of experiments using processes related to soap, cassava gum and cheese. Finally, we consider some challenges of integrating science education with quilombola education.
