Combo cultural: desafios e potencialidades dos games na educação básica

Abstract

This work brings together the trajectory of an investigation that aimed to identify challenges and possibilities for the application of digital games to approach the indigenous theme in the São Paulo state education network. The information treated is based on works already published on the games "Jeriguigi e o Jaguar na terra dos bororos", "Huni Kuin: Os Caminhos da Jiboia" and "Sambaquis: Uma História Antes do Brasil" and proposes to guide the development of these resources to other educators in educational contexts. Aware of the stereotyped, historically constructed and naturalized representations that involve these native peoples, this research emerged as a possibility to break the mistaken views and misinformation about indigenous peoples in order to value the existing ethnic and cultural diversity in the Brazilian territory, enhancing the intercultural dialogue and building healthier race relationships.
