Praxiologias de professoras de inglês em escolas públicas de Goiás: (des)articulações para uma educação linguística intercultural crítica e decolonial
Abstract
In this study, we discuss the praxiologies of three English teachers working in public schools in the state of Goiás, seeking to problematize them through critical intercultural and decolonial perspectives of language education (DUBOC, 2018; FREIRE, 2023; NUÑEZ-PARDO, 2018; OLIVEIRA; SABOTA, 2020; PENNYCOOK, 2021; PESSOA; PINTO, 2013; PRADO, 2021; QUIJANO, 2005; REZENDE et al., 2020; REZENDE, 2022; RODRIGUES; SILVESTRE, 2020; SEGATO, 2021; WALSH, 2009, 2023). Adopting a qualitative interpretivist approach, the study was developed through a focus group conducted in three online meetings, in which the participants shared narratives and records of their pedagogical practices. Guided by a critical conception of teachers’ praxiologies (PESSOA et al., 2021), we sought to articulate theory and practice throughout the discussion of the data, interweaving them in a mutual and interdependent manner and, therefore, not separating them into distinct sections. The findings reveal praxiological efforts marked by sociocultural classroom contextualization and the pursuit for social justice, while also pointing to functionalist conceptions of interculturality and challenges related to more forceful decolonial practices. It is concluded that the praxiologies examined are constituted as situated, contradictory, and unfinished processes, demanding constant critical inquiry and resignification within the context of public education.
