CAprexts UFRJ: movimento estudantil negro e implicações na gestão escolar

Abstract

This work aims to study the representativeness of black students and reflections on student participation in the spaces and organization of the College of Application of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro - UFRJ, more precisely, the Collective of Black Students (CAprexts). As a hypothesis for this research, we reflect on black student action as a political practice and how it enables reflections and influences in the institution in order to re-signify teaching practices and knowledge. To answer this hypothesis, a methodological path was necessary through the collection of data on the current application schools in the country, bibliographical research and documental analysis. This research is assumed as a case study and qualitative. Narrative interviews were conducted with five (5) participants, in person. Thus, in the first chapter, the introduction, presentation of the research and the description of the educational product, called “Young Quilombo”, are carried out. In the second chapter there is a historical and cultural debate about the valuation of this institution. Therefore, understanding that it would give strength to this research, interviews were conducted with an Educational Advisor and current Director General, addressing their paths, advances and challenges. The third chapter is the strength of youth, intended for interviews with two former students and one student, all members of CAprexts, reflecting on the need for the (RE)existence of this collective in the school space. We emphasize the relevance of this research, which is justified by giving visibility to the ongoing self-reflection process of this institution, as well as the potential of student collectives.
