description The aim of this paper is to delve into the State policies around ethno-education, the women teachers and their classroom practices, through an in-depth interview conducted with an Afro-Caribbean Colombian teacher. In addition, it was carried out a review of legal and empirical background in the field of ethno-education by means of the case study methodology. The results demonstrate that the existence of a State policy on ethno-education, despite the lack of resources for its implementation, has constituted an orientation guide for the teacher, object of this study, whose teaching practices have played a key role in dynamising the teaching process as well as consolidating the identity shared by students, parents and her very own Afro-descendant community. Likewise, her traditions; customs; values; training; environmental resources; oral tradition; and the students´ needs, have influenced her teaching practice focused on the re-significance of her ethnicity, the pursuit of peace and social transformation in the post-conflict period experienced in the Caribbean Region of Colombia.

El objetivo del presente artículo es indagar sobre las políticas estatales en torno a la etnoeducación, las maestras y su actividad en el aula, a través de la entrevista en profundidad realizada a una maestra afrodescendiente del Caribe colombiano y la revisión de antecedentes legales y empíricos del ámbito de la etnoeducación, mediante el uso de la metodología de estudio de caso. Los resultados revelan que la existencia de una política estatal sobre etnoeducación, pese a la carencia de recursos para su implementación, ha constituido una guía orientadora para la maestra objeto de estudio, quien, a través de sus prácticas pedagógicas ha cumplido un papel fundamental como dinamizadora del proceso de enseñanza y afianzamiento de la identidad en la que están involucrados los estudiantes, los padres de familia y la comunidad afrodescendiente a la que pertenece. Asimismo, sus tradiciones, costumbres, valores, formación, recursos del medio, tradición oral, y necesidades de los estudiantes, han influido en su práctica docente enfocada en la re-significación de su etnia, la búsqueda de la paz y la transformación social en el período de posconflicto vivido en la Región Caribe colombiana. O objetivo do artigo presente é investigar as políticas estatais ao redor do etnoeducación, os professores e sua atividade na sala de aula, por meio da entrevista a profundidade levada a cabo a uma professora afrodescendiente do Caribe colombiano e a revisão de antecedentes legais e empíricos do ambiente do etnoeducación, por meio do uso da metodologia de estudo de caso. Os resultados mostram que a existência de uma política de Estado sobre a educação étnica, apesar da falta de recursos para a implementação, tem sido um guia de orientação para o objeto principal de estudo, que, através de seu ensino tem desempenhado um papel fundamental como motivadora o processo de ensino e fortalecimento da identidade que são estudantes envolvidos, os pais e da comunidade afro-descendente a que pertence. Além disso, as suas tradições, costumes, valores, formação, recursos ambientais, a tradição oral, e as necessidades dos alunos, influenciaram a sua prática de ensino voltada para resignificação da etnia, a busca da paz e de transformação social o período pós-conflito têm vivido na região do Caribe colombiano.
