Candomblé e ensino de história: o terreiro como um local de ensino-aprendizagem - o caso do Ilê Axé Tobi Babá Olorigbin (2013-2020)

Abstract

The present project investigated the potential of the Candomblé as a place of teaching and learning, which will contribute to learning in History. Through this work, we seek to contribute to the implementation of Law 10.639/03 and to the promotion of anti-racist education. In order to carry out the research, a case study was carried out on the house Ilê Axé Tobi Babá Olorigbin, located in the municipality of Ituiutaba-MG. The house, with 8 years of foundation, has a history of acting in teacher training. The actions of the house and the history of Candomblé were studied and interviews were carried out with 3 History teachers and two Higher Education professores, and for the product of the work, a didactic proposal was prepared that values the ancestral knowledge preserved in the Candomblé houses. The entire analysis will be done under the light of Cultural History, seeking to understand the general through the specific. It is essential to be clear that the proposal presented in this work does not intend to explore the space of the religion in its dimension of faith, but only its potential as a place of memory of the communities that preserved knowledge and customs of African origin.
