The research seeks to understand the formation of the cultural identity of elementary
school children in light of the municipal curriculum guidelines of Ananindeua. A
qualitative approach was used, involving documents and descriptive
representations of children in the 4th and 5th years of morning and afternoon
classes at an elementary school in the municipality. The results indicate that the
municipality's curriculum document created macro areas, including Multiculturalism,
now called Cultural Identity involving citizenship and civics. In practice, it is
necessary to rethink educational approaches, considering the fundamental role they
play in the identity and cultural formation of children, in order to better promote the
appreciation of diversity as an integral part of this cultural identity process of children
in the school environment, as it reflects on various concepts of Amazonian
education and daily life in the globalized world. The Amazonian cultural plurality,
present in everyday school life, must ratify cultural diversity as a fundamental trait
in the construction of children's identities, defined and negotiated in the field of
conflicts and the infinite possibilities of singularization in the municipal school
environment of Ananindeua.
