Capoeira e educação integral: diálogos entre aprender e ensinar

Abstract

Capoeira and Comprehensive Education: dialogues between learning and teaching is a documental, bibliographical and qualitative research, which has identified and analyzed the conceptions of Capoeira present in official documents concerning to comprehensive education. Based on this, an analysis of the pedagogical implications to the organization of capoeira into the comprehensive education, which result from these conceptions was done, considering the importance of the Programa Mais Educação (Program More Education), from the Brazilian Ministry of Education to the promotion of learning and teaching of Capoeira. From the documents, as in the Estatuto da Igualdade Racial (Statute of Racial Equality) and Dossiê de Registro e Salvaguarda da Capoeira como Patrimônio Cultural do Brasil (Dossier of Registration and Integrity of Capoeira as a Brazilian Culture Heritage) it was noticed that Capoeira is comprehensively approached as ‘education’, ‘culture’, ‘sport’, ‘leisure’; and specifically approached as ‘fight-art’, ‘game’, ‘music’, ‘therapy’, among others. Such conceptions are mentioned in the Cadernos Pedagógicos – Série Mais Educação (Pedagogical Booklets – More Education Series), specifically the ‘Sobre Esporte e Lazer’ (About Sports and Leisure Series) and ‘Cultura e Artes’ (Culture and Art Series), macro fields of activities in which Capoeira is referred and encouraged. Through this process, it was possible to make a dialogical relation between Capoeira – Immaterial Cultural Brazilian Heritage and Comprehensive Education – Public Comprehensive Training Policy, in an initial and continuing way to the subjects. Through the ‘Ofício dos Mestres de Capoeira’ (Masters of Capoeira Directive) and ‘Roda de Capoeira’ (Capoeira Circle), pedagogical implications from encounters between teachers and students, formal and informal knowledge, popular and academic methodological aspects and suggestions of contents to each teaching level of Capoeira are implemented, all in an epistemological web. This pedagogical organization of Capoeira contributes to the heritage maintenance, the formation of the students culture identity and their sense of belonging to school and community.
