Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine the representations of teachers and students of a school located in the city of Rio de Janeiro about ethnic-racial relations and the application of Law 10639/03 in Physical Education classes. A qualitative research was conducted using systematic observation, semi-structured interviews with four teachers, and interviews with female students in the focal group. Ethnomethodology was used as a theoretical framework to examine the index terms that emerged in statements. Half the teachers interviewed were unaware of the law; index terms indicate that education for ethnic-racial relations is not developed during the course; and the group investigated is aware of the problem but tries to hide in appearances.
