Contextos históricos que orientam mudanças curriculares no PROERD do Rio de Janeiro: Narrativas de instrutores pioneiros

Abstract

The present work deals with the Drug Resistance Educational Program - PROERD -, a public policy of primary prevention carried out by agents of the Military Police of the State of Rio de Janeiro - PMERJ - with the school community, aiming to reduce the consumption of alcohol and other drugs among schoolchildren. Thus, after a bibliographic review in the CAPES database, it was found that since its creation in 1992 to the present moment, there are few studies regarding the program in Rio de Janeiro that bears the mark of Colonel Carlos Magno Nazareth's management Cerqueira. It should be noted that curricular changes have occurred. To this end, this exploratory and descriptive research will focus on the historical contexts that have guided the program's curricular approaches since its implementation, which has consolidated itself as a public policy of primary prevention for the use and abuse of drugs in the State of Rio de Janeiro. January. Using a methodological arrangement mostly anchored in a qualitative approach by the narrative interview with semi-structured guidelines, using methodology specific to oral history, research in primary sources (documentary and imagery) and bibliography. A quantitative arrangement (tables and graphs) was also used to illustrate relevant data about the object. After the collection and systematization of the data, critical analyzes of the discourse, as well as the curricular content were made. As a result, the attempt to erase Colonel Cerqueira's memory was identified, perhaps for this reason it proved to be underground. It was identified that the context of the war on drugs typical of American politics did fully interfere with the PROERD approach. Even though, despite changes in curriculum content, targeting the target audience and the adoption of socio-emotional skills, it was observed that the technical nature, as well as its behavioral approach, remained unchanged in their curricula. Finally, it was also identified that the program lacks consistent studies that can assess its effectiveness as a preventive action.
