Jogando contra o racismo: ludicidade no letramento racial com RPG

Abstract

The dissertation aims to present a critical-reflective essay capable of outlining concepts and data on the context of racism and its combat to promote Anti Racist Education in Sergipe, in accordance with the principles of Law 10.639/2003, which mandates the teaching of “AfroBrazilian History and Culture” in high school subjects, and in this specific case, in the teaching of History. To this end, the general objective is to study the theoretical repertoire to build a critical and proactive analysis for Antiracist Education in Basic Education through serious games. The specific objectives are: 1. to identify and interpret the works that address structural racism, Black identity, and the struggles against racial prejudice in their intersections; 2. to analyze the legislation related to the teaching of Afro-Brazilian History and Culture, correlating the national guideline with local parameters, presenting the reality of the Gilberto Freyre Center of Excellence in the municipality of Nossa Senhora do Socorro, Sergipe; 3. to present the process of creating an RPG game on Racial Literacy, through playfulness, developing in students a conscious and participative understanding of an urgent and necessary theme. This approach is necessary as it is observed that within the school environment, there is structural racism among both students and teachers that permeates the collective experiences at the Gilberto Freyre Center of Excellence in Nossa Senhora do Socorro/SE. As qualitative and exploratory methodological procedures, I first adopt a bibliographic review in research databases and their contextual critical analysis. Regarding gamification, I use RPG mechanics, which is constituted as Open Educational Resources (OER), to facilitate content learning in a dynamic and participative manner, bringing an engaging teaching methodology that captures the attention of young people, allowing students to engage in the process of racial literacy, become aware of their reality, recognize their role as citizens, and become antiracist youth in Brazilian society. The research engages in a theoretical dialogue with authors such as Beatriz Nascimento, Silvio Almeida, Neusa Souza, bell hooks, Erinaldo Cavalcanti, Flávia Caimi and Letícia Mistura, Lucia Tavares, in addition to using the BNCC and data from the IBGE.
