CONSIDERAÇÕES SOBRE A INTOLERÂNCIA RELIGIOSA NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL: ESTUDO DE CASO EM DUAS ESCOLAS DAS CIDADES DE MARATAÍZES E ITAPEMIRIM, DO ESTADO DO ESPÍRITO SANTO

Abstract

The theme of this work is religious intolerance in Early Childhood Education. My experience in the classroom and the fact that I witnessed moments of religious intolerance were preponderant factors for this topic to be chosen. I believe in the importance of Religious Education for Brazilian early childhood education, as the school environment is the privileged space to promote knowledge and appreciation of the trajectory of different social groups, even if religious intolerance needs to be considered. The theme is delimited in research on religious teaching in two schools in the state of Espírito Santo. What is experienced by children in Early Childhood Education tends to leave marks on their ideas, feelings and on their actions and interactions. The methodology used is a field survey, which was carried out using questionnaires with 15 questions each, distributed to 10 teachers from CME Prof. Marissol, in the city of Marataízes (ES), and 13 teachers and 01 teacher from CMEI Jaqueline Sales, in the city from Itapemirim (ES). The results obtained in the research show the need for commemorative parties and knowledge of other cultures and beliefs, although the right of students to participate, even if necessary, is respected in accordance with the guidance of parents or guardians. Copies of the questionnaires used in the field research in the schools of Marataízes and Itapemirim are presented in the Annexes of this work.
