PEDAGOGICAL EXPERIENCES AND ANCESTRAL KNOWLEDGE IN QUILOMBOLA COMMUNITIES

Abstract

In this study, we seek to understand the interconnections between Griô Pedagogy, a pedagogy with a decolonial bias, and the pedagogical experiences of the quilombola communities Remanso and Iúna/BA. In line with the qualitative epistemological basis of the research, the object of study and the research questions proposed for this study \u2012 we take the perspective of narrative research, defended by Connelly and Clandinin (1995), allied to the decolonial perspective as an investigation procedure. The research devices used were the narrative interview and the conversation circles. With the development of the study, we realized that the pedagogical experiences in the daily school life of the quilombola communities involved in this study demonstrate points of convergence and divergence with regard to their relationship with the principles and practices of the Griô Pedagogy and are still entangled in the "threads" of coloniality.
