Os desafios da escola indígena: um estudo de caso da Escola Estadual Indígena Ticuna Gildo Sampaio Megatanücü-AM

Abstract

The curriculum proposal for an indigenous school must meet all the specifics that legislation recommended for this type of education. The Secretary of State of Amazonas Education (SEDUC-AM) attempts to gradually promote the building of the Pedagogical Political Project for indigenous schools network within the criteria recommended by the National Reference for Indigenous Schools (RCNEI), but the challenges are many. The Indian State School Gildo Sampaio Megatanücü, object of this research serves as a reference for the current situation analysis and context in which the indigenous education in the state is. The current proposal for Indigenous Education presented by the Secretary of State of Amazonas Education (SEDUC-AM), aims to fully meet the specifics of what was proposed by the Federal Government in relation to Indigenous Education. The diagnosis presented can be viewed, in part, by the analysis of external evaluations of data applied in the Indian State School Gildo Sampaio Megatanücü in the municipality of Benjamin Constant AM. Indeed, the school in question in recent years has shown a low rate of school proficiency of their high school students. This characterizes this gap between what is foreseen in the proposal presented by SEDUC with the reality of all the features that the indigenous school Gildo Sampaio presents. It is noticed that there is a gap between what is taught and what is assessed, taking into account the peculiarity of indigenous education. In this context, the problem of this research is based on the current action of the school represented by the macro-management of Indigenous Education (GEEI-SEDUC-AM) and the micromanagement of school unit reflects the deficiency and the ineffectiveness of such assessments in indigenous schools, and its relationship with indigenous educational policy for Gildo Sampaio school, so take up this research as practical and qualitative example for reflections of indigenous school reality in the Amazon. It is necessary to search for a technical and administrative support for the effectiveness of a curriculum proposal that represents, in fact, the reality of Indigenous School and recognize the ethno-cultural and linguistic diversity of indigenous local context where the school is installed, and which directions in state policy to address the specificities of this indigenous school. Adequate and viable proposal could be the basis for the other Indian schools of Amazonas.
