DIVERSÃO E CONHECIMENTO - UM RESGATE DE BRINCADEIRAS E JOGOS DA COMUNIDADE QUILOMBOLA DO CEDRO

Abstract

The purpose of this book is not to be a simple collection of games, games and toys. It is, first of all, to rescue the tradition of a people who are part of a universal culture that has been obliterated, left on the sidelines, by the dominant ideology. This, based on a discourse in favor of progress and the so-called globalization, has instituted values, standards and behaviors, homogenizing all peoples and disregarding the national and regional identities of the different groups that make up Brazilian society. In such a context, there is an attempt to deconstruct the idea of ​​using games and games as educational processes, minimizing their importance with support in the fallacy of not having pedagogical purposes for such practices.This work tries to refute this idea, allowing the teacher to reflect on the senses and meanings of games, games and toys, using them as motivating elements for the reinterpretation of quilombola culture and giving a new meaning to classes in Basic Education. The bodily manifestations and toys described in this book resulted from an ethnographic and ethnobotanical research funded by the National Council for Scientific and Technological Performance - CNPq, carried out by IF Goiano employees from 2016 to 2018 in the Quilombo do Cedro, located in Mineiros, in the state of Minas Gerais. state of Goiás.
