FORMAÇÃO DOCENTE PARA O COMPONENTE CURRICULAR ENSINO RELIGIOSO

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to describe the pedagogical practice of Religious Education in an integrative perspective, based on legislation. As specific objectives, it sought to analyze the integrative proposal between practice and legislation, observing whether it is being put into action in public schools. In addition, it intended to present suggestions for practice according to the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) that guides this Curricular Component. Finally, it analyzed the involvement of Religious Education with other knowledge that incorporates the students' training. The issue-problem considers that, according to the Reference Curricular Document of Bahia (DCRB), Religious Education must meet specific objectives, such as the development of skills and abilities that contribute positively to the dialogue between the religious perspective of the students towards others, as well as respect for freedom of expression. Based on the BNCC and the DCRB of Itabela (BA), the question is: how can teacher training contribute to making Religious Education challenging and integrating? How can students integrate legislation with practice in schools in Itabela (BA)? What are the challenges of implementing the proposal in public schools in Itabela (BA)? As for the hypothesis, it is argued that Religious Education, after its inclusion in the curriculum of public schools, is characterized as a study of the religious phenomenon, based on the postulates of the Sciences of Religions. Due to this conjuncture, the challenges concerning the offer of this Curricular Component are linked to human rights and religious diversity. Thus, it is stated that there is a need to make Religious Education a space for integration, offering new perspectives for the formation of students, supported by paradigms of respect for differences. In its methodology, this work adopted bibliographical research, combined with descriptive and documentary research, in addition to books and articles that address the phenomenon of religion, understanding Religious Education as a new source of social integration.
