Tem azeite na botija?: ensino religioso nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental em Florianópolis-SC

Abstract

This is a qualitative research that sought to analyze how and from what the teachers who work in the early years of elementary school in Florianópolis, all duly qualified professionals with a degree in Pedagogy, develop their teaching practices in Religious Education as a school subject. The concern that generated the theme/problem arises in our childhood and builds up through our academic trajectory, as a teacher and researcher. An option was made for the methodological trajectory of an action research: sixteen teachers took part of the research who guided the process for the observation at the schools, the interview questions, the workshops and the theoretical constructions of this exercise in researching/sharing. The need to rethink the beginning and continual training of teachers of initial elementary school, the insertion of religious education in the school teaching projects as a commitment of all involved professionals and the search for interdisciplinary teaching practices in religious education, are some of the reflections resulting from this research. It can be understood that this study provides for a reflection of Religious Education as an academic component of the elementary school curriculum and contributes to the voices that are still fighting for life and school in a perspective that makes religious education neither an attachment nor an appendix, but a possibility to produce and take possession of knowledge in the construction of a more beautiful and fair world.
