Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the participation of the surrounding community in the elaboration of the local curriculum. Thus, to frame the research in a real context, a case study was carried out whose unit of analysis was the EPC 12 de Outubro, Maputo city. In this way, the Local Curriculum was introduced in basic education in the context of the political, social, and cultural changes that took place in Mozambique, as a result of gaining independence, after five centuries of Portuguese colonization (Nhalevilo, 2013). Through this change mentioned above, the present study intends to focus its research on the local curriculum, since this innovation, like the others, seeks to create a strong connection between the School - Community, but this one in particular, emphasizes local knowledge and makes the community feel involved and participate in the sharing of knowledge that aims to elevate, perpetuate the values ​​and culture of the local community. The study comprised a basic, descriptive research and a qualitative and quantitative approach, having included a sample of 112 elements that were submitted to the interview and the questionnaire. The data analysis technique was the content analysis for the interview discussion and data tabulation for the questionnaire data. The survey results revealed that the community surrounding EPC 12 of October does not participate in the elaboration of the Local Curriculum. In view of these conclusions, it is recommended to create a participatory environment where the community can have the opportunity to present local content and the difficulties they face on a daily basis within the community and that negatively interfere in the teaching and learning process of the students (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
