We propose in this text to recover the meaning and the historicity of human rights education in Brazil. For this purpose, we started by the main current legal guiding marks about education rights and HRE, in international and national codes. This movement allowed us to comprehend that, in normative area, education and the setting up of human rights and the guarantee of human dignity to everyone are seen as effective tools. In this regard, Brazilian State assumed, from 1990 to 2000, this basis in the elaboration of HRE plans, in order to build a formative culture in human rights. The bibliographic research, documental and qualitative, supported by BONAVIDES (1998), CANDAU (2007), ZENAIDE (2007), among others, concluded that, in spite of several action programs, plans and the vast amount of laws regarding education as a human right, the debate is far beyond ruling area. The HRE realization depends on public politics capable of creating social activities which reflect on the way people think, feel and act. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Knowing the perceptions of students and teachers on different themes is a fundamental task to provide different interactions in the contemporary education scenario. In Brazil, the theme of racism is a harsh and sad social reality, whose actions have stained the country's history for many years. The main objective of the investigation was to analyze the perceptions of seventh-year students and teachers, from a public school, in Porto Alegre (RS), in 2019, about racism. For this, a questionnaire divided into two parts was applied: the characterization of the research sample and the presentation of six statements, by which, based on the Likert scale, the subjects should affirm their degree of agreement, indifference or disagreement. In the teachers' questionnaire, there was still an open question, in which they should answer about the actions they take in the search for an anti-racist education. It was possible to perceive that the proximity in the perceptions about racism between students and teachers are greater than the distances. Of the six sentences presented, in half of them there were positions of proximity in relation to the assigned meanings, and in the other half, it was possible to perceive distances. However, in a more detailed analysis, it was possible to notice that the proximity exceeds the distance. Several actions to promote anti-racist education were mentioned by teachers, with emphasis on debates, literary projects and the inclusion of black personalities. Thus, it is possible to consider that, even in the case of groups with age and social distances, the perceptions about racism are diverse, but close. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

These article observes how comics are approached in the National Common Curricular Base. The hypothesis is that the interpretation about comics is open to questions. Thus, all references to the different genres presented in the document are identified and, from them, possible aspects are pointed to be criticized, from the point of view of studies about comics developed in the country and which support this analysis. The corpus is composed of the BNCC text. Approved in December 2017, it has the proposal to standardize primary education throughout Brazil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this paper is to analyze the objectives of sustainable development (OSD) established in September 2015, in an agreement signed by 193 countries at the United Nations General Assembly, from the perspective of Critical Environmental Education. The specific objectives were: to present the concept of Environmental Education in the critical perspective; to know the objectives of sustainable development; to analyze the OSD in the perspective of Critical Environmental Education. The research question listed was: are there possible approaches to think of the achievement of OSD, through an Environmental Education in its critical aspect? In the present work we start from the assumption that Environmental Education in its critical aspect is defined in Brazil from a matrix that sees education as an element of social transformation, inspired by dialogue, in the exercise of citizenship, in the strengthening of subjects, in the overcoming capitalist forms of domination and understanding the world in its complexity. At the end, it is evident that Environmental Education, in its critical, emancipating and transforming aspect of reality, shows itself as a viable path for the pursuit of the sustainable development goals.
