A importância dos componentes curriculares sobre história e cultura africana e afro-brasileira no PPC do curso de Artes Visuais – Licenciatura, da Universidade Federal de Sergipe

Abstract

This research, entitled “The Importance of Curricular Components on African and Afro-Brazilian History and Culture in the CPP of Visual Arts Course - Bachelor's Degree, at the Federal University of Sergipe”, is based mainly on the requirements of Resolution No. 1, of June 17, 2004, of the National Education Council (in Brazil - CNE), in addition to other legislation such as the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education of Brazil (LDB - in Brazil), in order to investigate the applicability or not of ethno-racial themes for the teaching of Afro-Brazilian and African Art/Culture in Educational Institutions, mainly in the Visual Arts Undergraduate Course at the Federal University of Sergipe. Therefore, I use the qualitative and quantitative approach to determine the probable satisfaction and/or dissatisfaction of students and teachers of the academic community of the Visual Arts Course, whose curriculum does not include content related to Afro-Brazilian History and Culture and, when it does, it does so in a very tangential way. A detailed analysis of the Course Pedagogical Project (CPP) was carried out, which was compared with the impressions of teachers and students obtained from the application of questionnaires operated by Google Forms. We observed an almost generalized lack of knowledge about the course document and great dissatisfaction with the non-compliance with the legislation that requires the implementation of curricular components and components focused on the theme of racial relations in undergraduate courses, with special emphasis on the Visual Arts course. The conclusion reached is the urgent need to reformulate the current CPP.
