O ENSINO RELIGIOSO NA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA E A INTERFACE COM A EDUCAÇÃO EM DIREITOS HUMANOS: REFLEXÕES SOBRE A CIDADANIA VITÓRIA – ES 2014

Abstract

The theme of this academic work is the Politics of Education and Religious Education. The research subject is Religious Education (RE) in Basic Education (BE) and its relation to human rights education and training for citizenship. The purpose of this study was to examine whether there is a relationship between Human Rights Education, Religious Education in Primary Education with training for citizenship. The specific objectives were: a) To contextualize Basic Education and Religious Education in the framework of the Brazilian Education Policy and its relation to human rights education; b) Reflect on the concept citizenship and how this is presented by the Brazilian literature; c) Identify which conception of citizenship provided in Religious Education and Basic Education. The research methodology consisted of bibliographic research with qualitative approach, theoretical review of the categories of Education Policy, Human Rights, Citizenship and Religious Education and documentary research. Through the study it was found that all legal norms - norms of Education, Education for Human Rights, National programs and Plans for Human Rights and Human Rights Education, and State Program on Education in Human Rights - have as a guiding shaft the recognition of human dignity. Therefore all have foundations, principles and guidelines aimed at the promotion, defense and guarantee of human rights, and hence contributes to the promotion of citizenship. It is evident, therefore, that Human Rights Education, Religious Education in Basic Education are closely intertwined in civic education in line with the Federal Constitution of 1988 and the LDB. However, we observe that there is a huge gap between what is provided by law and the floor of the Brazilian schools.
