ESCOLA E FAMÍLIA: INFLUÊNCIAS RELIGIOSAS NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL DA REDE MUNICIPAL DE VILA VELHA - ES

Abstract

The work aims to describe about religiosity, through bibliographic and documentary research, in order to reflect on the duo “school and family: religious influences on Early Childhood Education in the municipal network of Vila Velha”. To carry out this analysis, we sought to relate the contributions of professionals working in early childhood education and those responsible for students with the theory about religion and culture described by Marilena Chauí, Clifford Geertz, Paul Tillich, among others. The articulation between family and school in the child's education process is related to the family's responsibility regarding religious orientations, according to their beliefs and dogmas. And although teachers profess their religions, they try not to influence their students, however, their practices that demonstrate that in everyday life it is difficult to maintain the neutrality prescribed in the orientation of a secular school. And about the “contributions of the relationship between family and school through religiosity in the education of the child”, it was interesting to realize that although the teachers affirm that they develop some religious practices at school, for families this is not verified, understood or identifiable, that is , for families, the school has presented itself as secular, when it respects their opinions or when they simply prefer not to work on some issues related to religious diversity, which would greatly contribute to the identity formation of the child as a historical subject, in addition to promoting the otherness and tolerance. The answers, often loaded with preconceptions, show that families lack information, as much as their children, about the importance of religious diversity, to face intolerant practices, based on the premise that in childhood the child receives guidance and knowledge that helped her in her training as a historical subject and critical citizen.
