The training also follows the guidelines of Laws No. 9,394/1996 and No. 11,645/2008, which guarantee the obligation of education on Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous history and culture in the school curriculum.
Details of the EAD Pedagogical Training Course at UFRR
The course will be offered in a distance learning format, with a workload of 120 hours, divided into four modules.
The training lasts three months and will be conducted through the Virtual Learning Environment (AVA), providing flexibility and convenience for participants.
The start of classes is scheduled for March 24, 2025, with an inaugural class that will mark the beginning of this transformative pedagogical experience.
The objectives of the course are clear and focus on promoting racial literacy among teachers and educational managers in the public network.
The proposal is to offer practical tools for the implementation of Education of Ethnic-Racial Relations (ERER) and Quilombola School Education (EEQ), as well as to encourage the adoption of pedagogical practices that value Afro-Brazilian and Quilombola traditions, languages, and cultures.
Who Can Enroll?
The course is intended for teachers and managers in the public education network, as well as undergraduate students linked to higher education institutions.
Participants need to prove their connection to the education network or an academic institution to guarantee their participation.
Furthermore, selection will be made based on the chronological order of enrollment, and in case of a tie, preference will be given to:
- People aged 60 or over;
- Candidates with more professional experience;
- Older candidates, in general.
This criterion aims to ensure that individuals with more experience or in situations of greater vulnerability have a higher chance of accessing the course.
Objectives of the Course and Impacts on Teacher Training
The Pedagogical Training course at UFRR is not limited to technical teaching.
It goes further by proposing a deep reflection on ethnic-racial relations in Brazil and how they can be incorporated into daily school life.
By providing training that values Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous history and culture, teachers and educational managers can become agents of transformation in schools, promoting a more inclusive education that respects the cultural and ethnic diversity of students.
In addition, the course also aims to develop pedagogical practices that value and integrate Quilombola cultures, an essential component for building a more plural and representative curriculum of Brazilian society.
These practices can be applied in both public schools and other educational institutions, promoting truly inclusive education.
Opportunity for Personal and Professional Growth and Development
This training is an excellent opportunity for those seeking to expand their professional horizons, especially in the field of public education.
Through it, participants will be able to develop skills and competencies that go beyond the classroom, potentially influencing educational management and the implementation of public policies aimed at social inclusion.
The course also offers a space for the exchange of experiences among participants, promoting networking and collaboration among educators from different regions of the country.
This exchange of knowledge contributes to the construction of a more democratic and plural education.
Inclusive Pedagogical Practices: A Step Towards Social Equity
The education of ethnic-racial relations has become increasingly central in the training of educators in Brazil.
The country, with its enormous cultural diversity, requires a more attentive look at the specificities of each ethnic and cultural group, and it is essential that educators are trained to deal with these issues appropriately.
The UFRR course aims precisely to train educators to work more effectively with the cultural diversity present in classrooms.
By the end of this training, participants will have essential knowledge to integrate the theme of ethnic-racial relations into their pedagogical practices, creating a school environment that is more inclusive, respectful, and aware of the diverse realities of students.
The Commitment to Inclusion
In addition to educational quality, the course reaffirms UFRR’s commitment to social inclusion and equity in access to higher education.
Reserved spots for people from different ethnicities and social conditions are not just an affirmative measure but also a reflection of the commitment to building a more just and egalitarian education for all.
By promoting the reopening of enrollment for this course, UFRR reaffirms its mission to contribute to the training of educators who play an active role in promoting a more inclusive and plural Brazil.
Through actions like this, the university is playing a crucial role in the promotion of social justice through education.
Enrollment and Selection for the Course
The selection for the course will be based on the analysis of the documents submitted by the candidates.
Enrollment is entirely online and free, and will be open from February 4 to February 28, 2025, until 11:59 PM (Brasília time).
Interested parties must access the enrollment form available on the official website of the UFRR Distance Education Center, at the link https://editais.ufrr.br/nead.
To ensure an inclusive and equitable process, the course offers a total of 3,750 spots, of which 25% will be reserved for Black, Brown, Indigenous people, people with disabilities, transgender, and travestis.
This commitment to diversity seeks to strengthen access for historically marginalized groups to knowledge and higher education.
