O currículo e o Ensino Religioso nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental: práxis docente para o município de Colatina/ES

Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate, in the light of bibliographic reviews and official documents, how the curricular component Religious Education is being presented for the Initial Years of Elementary Education in the municipal network of Colatina in the State of Espírito Santo, according to the Maps of FOCO, systematized based on the BNCC. The work is developed in three moments, each with different objectives, but which converge to assertions of investigation and appreciation of Religious Education as a non-denominational inter-religious discipline. In the first part, we discuss the historical context: municipal guidelines and interpretation of cultures. In the following moment, we seek to discuss methodological approaches and content organization for religious teaching in the school curriculum in the Early Years. In the third and last part, as it is the main chapter, we sought to identify the developments of Religious Education in the context of Basic Education. The study is characterized by a review of the literature, through which we sought to investigate, in the databases of Google Scholar and Scielo, articles and works already carried out, whose subjects were related to the theme of the work, in addition to the documentary research, provided by SEMED. However, in this study, it was found that the FOCUS Maps, in the way they are organized, do not emphasize the deepening of specific knowledge in the area of the curricular component of Religious Education. In addition, an attempt can be seen to instigate teaching practice to respond to the challenge of fully establishing the Religious Education curriculum in schools, with Religious Sciences as a reference area. Finally, the training of these teachers is still a major challenge for the practice of the Religious Education curriculum to be implemented and developed in the school environment.
