O ATENDIMENTO DE CRIANÇAS INDÍGENAS NO CONTEXTO ESCOLAR URBANO NO MUNICIPIO DE NAVIRAÍ-MS

Abstract

The research focuses on school education in a non-Indigenous context in the city of Naviraí-MS. The aim was to present the importance of this education in an urban environment as a tool for valuing Indigenous culture and identity. From this perspective, the specific objectives were: to present the need for ongoing training for teachers working in this scenario; to discuss issues of Indigenous school education based on the listed bibliographic references; to identify the challenges of the non-Indigenous school context for Indigenous children based on the author's experiential accounts. The methodology used was a bibliographic research, containing a record in reports of the experiences lived by the author, who is part of the Tutorial Education Program (PET) and participates in the Indigenous Education Project from the city's Education Department. Thus, a discussion was elaborated bringing together the theoretical production of the theme and the registered experiences that served as a basis for the discussion of the theme in the research. As results, it can be verified that there is an urgent need for training for teachers who work with Indigenous children in urban school classrooms; it was noticed that Indigenous children, although enrolled, do not feel included in non-Indigenous schools and it was also possible to perceive that in the context of the urban village the children are more participatory and active in the school activities that take place there.
