Uma discussão sobre o racismo na escola: experiências de uma estagiária de psicologia

Abstract

This course completion work aims to present and discuss about the experiences arising from the Supervised Internship - Emphasis on Psychology and Educational Processes, of the Psychology Course at the Health Sciences Center - CCS, at the Federal University of Recôncavo da Bahia (UFRB), carried out in a municipal school in Santo Antônio de Jesus BA. The supervised internship was divided into two curricular components, where the university, in partnership with other institutions, provides students with a professional experience, in order to promote actions that benefit the external community, and not just the training of students enrolled in the curricular components of internship. Internships are offered in different scenarios of practical and theoretical approaches, and students can choose from their interest or affinity. Understanding that it is possible to contribute significantly to the development of a professional identity, the choice of this internship was due to the interest in the area of School Psychology, since 2017. The Supervised Internship I and II proved to be important in enabling the student to contact Psychology with professional practice, contributing to a critical education that is committed to social demands, thus promoting the development of integrative practices of skills and abilities essential to professional development, providing opportunities for the exercise of integrating theory and practice, thus enabling learning. This course completion work, in report format, aims to present the activities developed in the Supervised Internship, through the theoretical and practical path. Initially, we will present some of the theoretical foundations present in our course in the field. Next, we describe the field where the internship activities were developed. Throughout this report, discussions about what school is and what its function in our lives will be presented, based on the theoretical foundation; how the causes of inequality emerged and what it implied in the conceptions of school failure, which takes us to the processes of schooling and exclusion that mark the lives of individuals. The discussions will follow guided by Youth and Adult Education (EJA), I understand that this type of education was designed to “remedy” the exclusion of young people and adults who did not have their rights guaranteed. It was created based on public policies, designed for the training of young people and adults 8 who needed to work or because they did not have access to school, a factor that is directly linked to discrimination and racism. Subsequently, the internship field will be described, where the activities took place. Initially, we conducted participant observation. After getting to know the school, the class and the school team, we started to create bonds, so the workshops were developed, a total of six: two workshops on gender, race and empowerment; self knowledge; human rights; empathy and black conscience week. All workshops were divided into three moments: welcome, central theme and synthesis/closing. Finally, I will speak of the final considerations where I describe a little of my expectations, perceptions, lessons learned and anguishes. Being at school allowed me to understand the different possibilities of contribution of the School Psychologist. This internship experience brought me reflections and memories of my schooling process and how it marked and marks my journey.
