Interfaces contemporâneas entre religião e educação na Amazônia

Abstract

The Northern Region in this second decade of the 21st century is certainly the most vital space in organizing and discussing Religious Education in Brazil. It appears that the scientific production by students, teachers and researchers in the Amazon is gaining attention especially in some works that seek to recover various aspects of memory and practices of this curricular component in the educational scenario local. Even though it is still restricted, the ER has not been forgotten. We already have dissertations, articles and different works at events, not only from professionals in this region, but about the region. Specifically the state of Amazonas with a recorded history since the 16th century with Francisco de Orellana, who, when fighting with tribe of women, rescuing Greek mythology, leaves the legacy of long stories of a diversity that must be propagated to local generations and this immense country. Education of Religion in the state accompanied the work of the missionaries, however, as a discipline, the first information up to the are from the 1970s, in the reports of the National Conference of the Bishops of Brazil and in the legislation that will guide the System State Education. We are not here in a record of the past, but of the present, because Amazonas holds its 6th Teaching Teachers Seminar - 8 - Religious, as well as his I Pedagogical Day of Sciences of Religion - demonstrating the suitability and necessity of the work. In this collection, I understand that the works are articulated in two nuclei, initially specifically on the curricular component, such as the following: Science of Religion and Science of Religion Applied to Religious Education, Rodrigo Oliveira dos Santos, a researcher from Pará, says that the legacy promotion promoted by the scientist of religions in education and school - which has ER, mainly, as its professional field - can be much more inserted and used in education, more broadly.
