TEACHING PERSPECTIVES ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AFRO-COLOMBIAN STUDIES COURSE

Abstract

The Afro-Colombian Studies Chair (CEA) is a commitment to the recognition of the culture of Afro-Colombian communities, which includes the set of topics and pedagogical activities proposed as an integral part to promote intercultural development within the curricular process. The objective of this study is to structure the CEA to promote interculturality in the Instituto Educativa Técnico Empresarial del Norte de Casanare (I.E TENCA) of the Municipality of Paz de Ariporo - Casanare. This research with qualitative methodology allows a closer and more dynamic relationship between researchers, participants and the subject of study, relying on interculturality as a cross-cutting strategy that can be developed with the Chair of Afro-Colombian Studies (CEA). In this way, the research question is answered through the use of instruments such as the semi-structured interview, critical reading of documents. The responses obtained show from each categorization code how teachers of the educational community interpret cultural practices, ways of teaching and learning from and for diverse communities, especially Afro-descendants. For this, it is proposed as an alternative solution to deliver the structure or study plan of the Afro-Colombian studies chair for use by the members of the educational institution I.ETENCA, so that from the transversality with all areas of the educational curriculum they are taken taking into account the different themes that allow to deepen the knowledge of history from times of slavery and segregation, which allows to mitigate each of these stereotypes and episodes of racism from the classrooms.
