SUMMARY:

This study aims to investigate educational transformation through the promotion of inclusion and empowerment of teachers and students through decolonial practices as political acts. The main objective is to develop and propose pedagogical strategies that optimize student development, with a focus on the active participation of teachers and students. The research aims to examine interactions between teachers and students in the school environment, highlighting teaching practice as a direct influence on student learning and demonstrating how education can reinvent itself from a new perspective on the educational act and the active participation of its actors, emphasizing teachers and students. Thinking about this reinvention implies approaching teaching from another educational paradigm that can promote cracks in the colonial shackles we have inherited and continue to support to this day. It is not about reinventing the wheel but taking advantage of what it provides us with importance and reflecting on what can be better reflected and, consequently, improved. Therefore, considering Post-Method Pedagogy as an alternative proposal to traditional teaching methods already signals a practice based on paradigms in which the particularity of the context in which students and teachers are inserted, the practicability of the content that is fostered, and the possibilities that teaching can explore, suggest promising scenarios for actions based on the advancement of teaching and learning. Reflecting on processes that are independent but interconnected and mutually influential, in this study, the importance of meaningful learning and the use of active methodologies was highlighted. Practices in which students take ownership of their learning process, making it more authentic, while the teacher acts as a mediator of information and knowledge construction. The entire process of teaching and learning needs to happen and be extensive to all students effectively and permanently. Thus, the study encompasses all students in the classroom and includes a discussion of inclusive education, based on the vision of offering good education to all students and not restricted to those considered "normal." It is understood that good teaching, permeated by effective mediation, must contemplate all students in their singularities and cognitive performances. To achieve the research objectives, we will employ a qualitative approach, using the case study methodology. Participants will be teachers from municipal schools in Belo Horizonte, whose practices will be investigated through narratives. This methodological choice is based on the understanding that narratives offer a deep insight into teachers' experiences and allow for a contextualized analysis of educational practices. Data will be generated through online questionnaires, followed by semi-structured individual interviews with participants. These instruments will provide detailed information on teaching practices, allowing for an in-depth analysis of the adopted pedagogical strategies. Content analysis will be used to examine and interpret the generated data, identifying patterns, themes, and relevant trends. We hope that the results of this research contribute to the improvement of pedagogical practices in the classroom, promoting a more inclusive education sensitive to cultural diversities. Additionally, we seek to enrich the academic debate on the role of Active Methodologies, sociointeractionist, and decolonial perspectives in promoting educational equity.
