A Educação em Direitos Humanos é entendida, hoje, como um conjunto de processos de educação formal e não formal, orientados para a construção de uma cultura de respeito à dignidade humana, através da promoção e da vivência dos valores democráticos e republicanos, da liberdade, da justiça, da igualdade, da solidariedade, da cooperação, da tolerância e da paz. O objetivo principal desta pesquisa consiste em aprofundar o conhecimento sobre essa nova área de reflexão e de vivência no campo educacional que tem sido objeto de intervenções institucionais e do crescente interesse de dirigentes políticos, educadores, pesquisadores, militantes, entidades religiosas e organizações da sociedade civil ONGs. A partir da premissa sobre o vínculo inarredável entre democracia, Direitos Humanos e educação, trata-se de, com base no trabalho de levantamento e sistematização do que tem sido pensado e feito nesta área, provocar o debate e suscitar questões para a consolidação e o constante aperfeiçoamento do reconhecimento institucional e social de tais projetos, visando, igualmente, a melhoria das relações educacionais e sociais, na escola e fora dela. A dissertação apresenta uma abordagem histórica da educação em Direitos Humanos em nosso país, seus marcos normativos inclusive através dos planos governamentais - e experiências mais significativas. Apresenta também um balanço da produção brasileira sobre o tema, suas especificidades e regularidades. / The Human Rights Education is understood, today, as a process of formal and informal education, oriented for the construction of a culture of respect for the human being dignity, through the promotion of the democratic and republican values, of liberty, justice, equality, solidarity, cooperation, tolerance, and peace. The main goal of this research is to promote a deep understanding of this new area of reflection in the educational field, which has been the object of many institutional interventions and growing interest of politicians, educators, researchers, activity, religious entities and civil society organizations - NGOs. From the premise about the intrinsic bond between education, democracy and human rights, with the survey work and systematization of what has been thought and done in this area, this research wish to provoke the debate and bring new questions for the consolidation and the constant improvement of the institutional and social recognition of such project, aiming equally the improvement of social and educational relations at schools and outside. The dissertation shows an historical approach of education in Human Rights in our country, their normative milestones inclusive through governmental plans - and most significant experiences. It also shows a balance of brazilian production about this theme, their specificities and regularities.

FundaÃÃo de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Cearà / Esta pesquisa pretende analisar o processo de formaÃÃo docente em EducaÃÃo em Direitos Humanos tendo como objeto o Curso de AperfeiÃoamento EDH, da Universidade Federal do CearÃ, desenvolvido no ano de 2013. E tem como referÃncia o estranhamento dos alunos/as frente à perspectiva de educaÃÃo em Direitos Humanos. Quais os lugares de conflito no encontro entre os alunos/as e a EDH? Como eles/elas reagem à perspectiva de EDH proposta pelo referido curso? Quais seriam as implicaÃÃes desse processo pedagÃgico? Nessa perspectiva, procuro trazer, para o espaÃo acadÃmico, o debate sobre formaÃÃo continuada de professores/as no que se refere ao enfrentamento da discriminaÃÃo e do preconceito e à valorizaÃÃo da diversidade na escola. Dessa maneira, as referidas discussÃes assumem uma dimensÃo de relevÃncia social à medida que a sociedade brasileira, apesar dos avanÃos no campo dos Direitos Humanos na esfera legislativa, tem demonstrado o recrudescimento dos direitos sociais, a intolerÃncia e resistÃncia no reconhecimento da diversidade. Esta pesquisa tambÃm pretende trazer contribuiÃÃes para a educaÃÃo em e/ou para Direitos Humanos, por meio da anÃlise de prÃticas educativas que tem como objetivo a valorizaÃÃo da diversidade e o enfrentamento da discriminaÃÃo e do preconceito. Podemos concluir que o espaÃo onde ocorre maiores tensÃes na perspectiva das discussÃes trazidas pela educaÃÃo em direitos humanos està relacionada Ãs questÃes de gÃnero, diversidade sexual e raÃa e etnia. / This research aims to analyze the process of teacher training in Human Rights Education as having the object EDH Improvement Course, Federal University of CearÃ, developed in the year 2013 and has reference to the strangeness of the students the opposite perspective of education on Human rights. What are the places of conflict in the encounter between students? How did do they react to the prospect of EDH proposed by that course? What are the implications of this learning process? From this perspective, I try to bring to the academic space, the debate on continuing education for teachers as with regard to fighting discrimination and prejudice and the appreciation of diversity in school. Thus, these discussions take on a dimension of social relevance as the Brazilian society, despite advances in the field of Human Rights in the legislative sphere, has demonstrated the resurgence of social rights, intolerance and resistance in the recognition of diversity. This research also aims to bring contributions to the education and or Human Rights, by analyzing educational practices that aims to valuing diversity and tackling discrimination and prejudice. We can conclude that the space where higher stresses in perspective brought about by discussions of human rights education occurs is related to gender, sexual diversity, and race and ethnicity.

Ao mesmo tempo, reflete-se a respeito do impacto das condições históricas, sociais e econômicas sobre o processo de subjetivação das crianças nesse contexto, e analisam-se os significados e sentidos expressados por elas em relação ao exercício da cidadania de acordo com a formação cidadã à qual tiveram acesso. Para tal, constituiu-se uma rede teórica sustentada por conhecimentos relacionados com cidade e cidadania, baseados em Castro (2001, 2004), Benevides (1991), Carvalho (2002); a constituição histórico-cultural do sujeito e da subjetividade, fundamentando-se em Vigotski (2007, 2009) e Rey (2003, 2005); e infância e formação cidadã, por meio das contribuições de Candau e Sacavino (2008, 2010), Freire (1967), Silva (2010), Silva e Tavares (2011, 2013). Para aproximação das concepções das próprias crianças sobre a sua realidade, adota-se uma abordagem exploratória, e, por meio da investigação empírica com sujeitos concretos, realiza-se pesquisa de campo em duas escolas municipais localizadas no mesmo bairro pertencente à Região Político-Administrativa IV (RPA 4), recorte territorial deste estudo. O trabalho de campo compõe-se por observação participante e realização de dois grupos de discussão desenvolvidos por meio das categorias de cidade real, ideal e possível elaboradas por Castro (2001, 2004). Cabe destacar que um dos grupos, além da educação formal, teve acesso às atividades de uma organização da sociedade civil voltadas para a formação humana. A análise qualitativa dos dados baseou-se nos princípios e métodos da epistemologia qualitativa (REY, 2005), elegendo o sentido subjetivo como principal unidade interpretativa. Os resultados demonstram: primeiro, que as crianças percebem o espaço urbano do Recife hostil à sua movimentação e permanência; segundo, que questões relacionadas com os vínculos sociais no âmbito da cidade, como discriminação social e racial, preconceito em relação às diferenças religiosas, ausência de solidariedade entre seus habitantes, fazem-se presentes nas concepções infantis; terceiro, que assumir responsabilidades próprias da cidadania é uma fragilidade comum aos grupos participantes deste estudo. No que concerne à formação cidadã, os conteúdos e sentidos expressos pelas crianças não fornecem elementos para indicar efeitos diferenciados quando o processo é realizado apenas na educação formal ou quando conjuga a educação formal e não formal em direitos humanos. Além disso, apesar de se identificar em ambas as escolas características e práticas que podem vir a contribuir para a formação cidadã, os resultados demonstram que a educação formal em direitos humanos nesses ambientes escolares ainda não se realiza por meio de um processo educativo em direitos humanos, sendo constituída por atividades pontuais e episódicas. Assim, conclui-se que prossegue o descompasso entre a discussão teórica acerca dos direitos humanos e as concepções e práticas, enfatizando a necessidade de maior participação das crianças e integração da escola com a cidade para o desenvolvimento da cidadania ativa. / The following research presents the concepts that children produce about the exercise of their citizenship in the urban context of Recife, pointing out their knowledge about the city and the rights that recognize as its own to its peculiar condition of person in development. Meanwhile, reflects about the impact of historical, economic, social conditions about the process of subjectivation of the children in this context, and analyzes the meanings and senses expressed by them in relation to the exercise of citizenship in accordance with the citizenship education which they had access to. To this end, a network supported by theoretical knowledge related to: City and citizenship, based in Castro (2001, 2004), Benevides (1991), Carvalho (2002), the historical-cultural constitution of the subject and subjectivity, basing itself on Vygotsky (2007, 2009) and Rey (2003, 2005); and childhood and citizenship education, through the contributions of Candau and Sacavino (2008, 2010), Freire (1967), Silva (2010), Silva and Tavares (2011, 2013). To get closer to the conceptions of the children themselves about their reality, we adopted an exploratory approach, and through empirical research with specific subjects, we conducted field research in two schools located in the same neighbourhood belonging to the Political-Administrative Region IV (RPA 4), territorial clipping of this study. The field work was composed by participant observation and execution of two discussion groups developed from the categories of real, ideal and possible city drawn up by Castro (2001; 2004). It is worth mentioning that one of the groups, in addition to formal education, had access to the activities of a NGO focused on human formation. The qualitative analysis of the data was based on the principles and methods of qualitative epistemology (REY, 2005), electing the subjective sense as main interpretive unit. The results show: first, that children perceive the urban space of Recife hostile to your mobility and permanence; second, that issues related to the social ties within the city, such as social and racial discrimination, prejudice related to religious differences, lack of solidarity among its inhabitants, are present in children's conceptions; and, third, to assume responsibilities of citizenship is a weakness common to groups participating in this study. With regard to citizenship education, the content and senses expressed by children not provide elements to indicate different effects when the process is done only in formal education or when it combines the formal and non-formal education in human rights. In addition, although identification at both schools features and practices that may contribute to the citizenship education, the results show that the formal education in human rights in these school environments still won't come true through a process of education in human rights, consisting of individual activities and episodic. Thus, it is concluded that the discrepancy between the theoretical discussion about human rights and the conceptions and practices, emphasizing the need for greater involvement of children and integration between the school and the town for the development of active citizenship.

Para compor os corpora da análise, foram selecionados onze livros didáticos de 1º a 5º ano, dos componentes curriculares matemática, português, ciências, história e geografia, estando todos os títulos devidamente aprovados pelo PNLD 2013. Trata-se de uma investigação qualitativa, realizada a partir de procedimentos metodológicos de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Na pesquisa documental, foram abordados os marcos legais referentes à criança, à educação em direitos humanos e aos livros didáticos. A pesquisa bibliográfica está embasada, do ponto de vista teórico, em uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, conjugando os campos da Educação e dos Direitos Humanos, entre outros. A partir da ótica da Análise do Discurso, em sua vertente francesa, foram selecionadas as seguintes categorias de análise: criança/infância (SARMENTO, 2005; SANTOS, 2012a; ARIÈS, 2012; RIZZINI; PILOTTI, 2011, DeMAUSE, 2002), sujeito de direitos (BRASIL, 2012a; ROSEMGERG; MARIANO, 2010; SEDA, 2011; BAZÍLIO; KRAMER, 2011) e educação em direitos humanos (SILVA, 2010a; CANDAU; SACAVINO, 2010; MAGENDZO, 2008; BITTAR, 2007; BENEVIDES, 2007). As análises dos livros didáticos foram realizadas em textos escritos e imagéticos, com base nos trabalhos teóricos de Dominique Maingueneau (2005; 2008a; 2008b; 2013a; 2013b) a partir de três conceitos: ethos, cenografia e interdiscurso. As imagens, enquanto texto que também materializam discursos, foram estudadas a partir da análise do discurso, além de Joly (1994) e Santaella e Nörth (1999). Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que os livros didáticos têm se apresentado como uma arena de disputa de sentidos, no mais das vezes contraditórios acerca dos direitos da criança, ora afirmando sua condição de sujeito social de direitos, ora colocando-a em condição de subjugo decorrentes de uma série de fatores relacionados a poderes hegemônicos, dentre eles, o fato de a sociedade ser baseada em valores centrados no adulto, caracterizando uma espécie de “adultocentrismo”. Neste sentido, observamos que, sob um viés histórico- social os livros didáticos avançaram em qualidade e em reconhecimento da infância, contribuindo na direção de sua não invisibilidade. Em outra direção, as referidas contradições sinalizaram que os livros didáticos pesquisados pouco têm para uma educação em direitos humanos e sua proposta crítica, de favorecimento do protagonismo infantil e de transformação social. / The present research is part of the Postgraduate Interdisciplinary Program on Human Rights from the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, in the search line: Citizenship and Social Practices and aims to examine, in a discursive perspective, the ways in which children's rights are present in textbooks of the early years of elementary school, from 2013-2015, based on the “Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente”. To compose the corpora analysis, eleven textbooks were selected from 1st to 5th grades of the component curricular mathematics, Portuguese, science, history and geography, being all titles approved by the PNLD 2013. This is a qualitative research, carried out from methodological procedures of bibliographic and documental research. In the documental research, the legal frameworks relating to child, to education on human rights and textbooks have been addressed. The literature is grounded, from a theoretical point of view, in an interdisciplinary perspective, combining the fields of Education and Human Rights, among others. From the perspective of Discourse Analysis, in its French slope, the following categories of analysis were selected: child / childhood (SARMENTO, 2005; SANTOS, 2012a; ARIÈS, 2012; RIZZINI; PILOTTI 2011, DeMAUSE, 2002), the subject of rights (BRAZIL, 2012a; ROSEMGERG; MARIANO, 2010; SEDA, 2011; BAZÍLIO; KRAMER, 2011) and education on human rights (SILVA, 2010a; CANDAU; SACAVINO, 2010; MAGENDZO, 2008; BITTAR, 2007; BENEVIDES, 2007). Analyses of textbooks were carried out in written texts and imagistic, based on theoretical work of Dominique Maingueneau (2005; 2008a; 2008b; 2013th; 2013b) from three concepts: ethos, scenography and interdiscourse. The images, taken as text that also materialize discourses, were studied from the discourse analysis, and also Joly (1994) and Nörth and Santaella (1999). The survey results indicate that textbooks have been presented as an arena of dispute of meanings, most often contradictory, about the rights of children, sometimes stating their social condition as subjects of rights, sometimes placing it in subjugation condition due to a variety of factors related to hegemonic powers, among them, the fact that society is based on values centered in adults, featuring a kind of "adultcentrism". In this regard, we note that, under a social-historical bias, the textbooks have improved in quality and recognition of childhood, contributing towards its non-invisibility. In the other direction, the contradictions indicated that the textbooks surveyed have not contributed to human rights education and its critical proposal of favoring children social participation and social transformation.

The aim of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of the strategies used by young people in Mexico City to exercise civic participation in the form of human rights activism. Mexican society is currently markedby an increased amount of human rights violations, together with high levels of corruption, violence and severe flaws within the democratic system. To claim and stand up for human rights in this context is not onlydifficult but also dangerous, which is a pattern that recurs in many context throughout the globe. The young activists who were interviewed share the experience of having attended the same human rights education, where human rights are taught through critical pedagogy. They manifest a perspective where human rights have to be enacted in all spheres of society, including interpersonal relationships. Human rights ideals also seem to represent something similar to an ideology that, when understood correctly, entails a transformative potential. The experience of undertaking human rights education formed new networks and bonds in civil society, as well as personal reflections on their own position in their surrounding. Although recognizing the importance of relating to the parliamentary structure and public institutions, the activists seem sceptical towards achieving human rights progress through that arena due to the large political and financial corruption. Instead, the result of this study highlights other strategies for exercising civic participation and defending human rights in Mexico, such as the creation and participation in autonomous, democratic structures within in the civil society and social movements, as well as actions executed within informal relationships and spheres.

This essay investigates the role of non-governmental organizations in Turkey that work with minority rights. The purpose of this study is to get a better understanding on how domestic NGOs understand and prioritize human rights and how different social structures are restricting NGOs from engaging in human rights of the Kurdish minority. To answer this question this study utilizes a qualitative content analyses of the published research on human rights and NGOs. The analysis has been conducted from a postcolonial perspective. The finding has shown that even if Turkish human right defenders are restricted on how they can work with human rights violations in the society there still is an engagement in trying to work with these social problems. This essay concludes that Kurds have been restricted from working with human rights by means of the Turkish anti-terror law, which may have negatively affected the visibility of Kurdish activist, but not stopped them from engaging in social issues. However, there is still a need for development in the Turkish NGO regime, but the westerniza- tion project may not be the answer for Turkish human right development. This essay argues that the human rights education projects in Turkey should be conducted by domestic NGOs own understanding of human rights and only then there will be potential for real human rights development.

Syftet med denna studie är att få mer kunskap om hur lärare i F-3 kan arbeta systematiskt i ämnet samhällskunskap för att implementera och förankra Barnets rättigheter hos eleverna. Ansatsen är kvalitativ och våra teoretiska perspektiv är pragmatismen och sociokulturella med utgångspunkt John Dewey och Lev Vygotskij. Resultaten visar att det finns en stark vilja bland lärare att förmedla färdigheter till sina elever som rättighetsbärare. Slutsatsen är att det verkar finnas brist på stöd av material för att implementera och förankra Barnets rättigheter hos eleverna. Lärare verkar av den anledning undervisa utifrån erfarenhet och externa material och arbetar enbart med barnkonventionens artiklar vid tillfällen som FN-dagen och internationella barndagen. / The purpose of this study is to gain more knowledge about how primary school teachers can work systematically with children's rights in the subject social studies to implement and anchor the Child’s rights in pupils. The approach is qualitative, and our theoretical perspectives are pragmatism and sociocultural based on John Dewey and Lev Vygotsky. The results show that there is a strong will among teachers to impart skills to their pupils as rights holders. The conclusion is that there seems to be a lack of support for materials to implement and anchor the Child’s rights in pupils. For this reason, teachers seem to teach based on their experience and external materials and only work with the articles of the convention on occasions such as UN-Day and International Children's Day.

In this thesis I probe into British Columbia’s (BC) Kindergarten to Grade 12 Social Studies curriculum to determine how adequately it adheres to Canada’s international treaty obligations. I give particular attention to the duties regarding dissemination of information about, through, and for human rights principles and norms that are contained within the United Nations (UN) 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child (Convention) and the UN 2011 Declaration of Human Rights Education and Training (DHRET). To accomplish this, I first develop a compliance assessment tool that is based on international human rights legal standards. This tool is then used in a normative inquiry into BC’s current Social Studies curriculum to assess the extent to which its educational aim, and its conception of the learner, learning process, learning environment, teacher’s role, and evaluation satisfies the international human rights education law requirements that are articulated in the treaties that Canada has ratified. The knowledge that is generated from this investigation is of value to BC’s Ministry of Education and members of the public who are involved in BC’s curriculum development and revision, because it creates a benchmark from which to “take more active measures to systematically disseminate and promote” (UN, 2012, paragraph 25) knowledge about international human rights in BC’s schools. / Graduate

本研究乃鑒於台灣的學校教育，未因台灣的民主化讓訓育式教育的力量消失，人權教育的落實就更顯重要。然而人權的概念源於民主理論，所以欲從Dahl與Sartori的民主理論著手釐清。 從人權教育的發展脈落可以發現，人權教育所應包含的核心價值，即平等、自由與民主三者—(1)平等方面：平等不在於外在的平均主義，而在於個人內在的價值上，這種平等的判斷方法稱為「內在平等」原則；(2)民主方面：民主一詞源於古希臘雅典城邦，但現在的民主，指的是一種以有限多數的有效參與、充分知情和議程控制，以及公平選舉與代表權轉移的政治制度，用以保證其公民的基本權利不受侵害；(3)自由方面：十七至十九世紀的古典自由主義思想，為的是防止政府權利對個人的戕害，到十九世紀，更進一步要求政府為人民謀福利，成為所謂的新自由主義。並且平等、民主與自由三者間，可歸納出「以民主達成自由，並以自由完成平等」的關係。 經過分析後，提出幾點對人權教育的建議：(1)釐清人權教育核心概念的意義；(2)涵蓋內在平等原則的人權教育；(3)學習並運用有效的民主議程；(4)諮詢相關專家的重要性；(5)視人權教育是民主社會的根基。如此才能使台灣人權教育的落實更為徹底。 / Because of the importance of human rights education in Taiwan, it is needed to make the meaning of human rights more clear. However, the value of human rights is relating to the history of democracy. This study is intended to search for the construction on human rights education through democracy theory, especially by the view of Robert A. Dahl and Giovanni Sartori, to set up the theoretical foundation. According to the context of the development of human rights education, it could be found out that equality, democracy and liberty are important concepts. After analyzing, we can discover that: (1) Equality is not equalitarianism but “intrinsic equality.” (2) Classical Greece is the source of “democracy”, but the democracy of nowadays is not totally the same to the classical one. (3) The thought of liberty comes from liberalism, and it is in order to prevent the people from the invasions of the government. On the basis of Dahl and Sartori’s writings, democracy is the strategy to achieve liberty, and the liberty is the condition to achieve equality. At the end, the following conclusions are made: (1) The understanding of the equality, democracy and liberty are important. (2) “Intrinsic equality” must be taught in class. (3) The efficient agenda of democracy must be learned. (4) It is needed to consult the experts. (5) We should take human rights education as the base of the democratic society. These above could be helpful to human rights education in Taiwan.
