Educação: do longuinquo ao contemporâneo e suas possibilidades

Abstract

This paper discusses the implications for society, education and the school space and the school effects of the current political, social and educational context that surrounds school and education. Micro-structural issues are debated as fundamental points for thinking about the internal adversities found in the school space, as well as conjecturing their solutions. School education, represented by school subjects, is evident as the result of external issues at school, including economic, political, social and cultural issues. Through a sociological look, the text brings a photograph of reality, divided into four parts. In the first part, we present a historical context of the production of knowledge and science that underlies the construction of contemporary thought. In the second part, we analyze the nuances of reality that took place in society based on the thoughts of Zigmunt Bauman and other theorists, as well as describing the macro-structural issues and their influences on the day-to-day of the school space. The third part addresses the reality lived and built by the school, with its apparatus, resources and limitations, addressing its challenges and pedagogical possibilities. In the fourth and last part, a possible answer to the challenges of contemporary education is pointed out, through an analysis of the worldview that enters today's pedagogical, social and political thinking.
