A educação como práxis: fundamento da Psicologia sócio-histórica e da teoria educacional de Paulo Freire

Abstract

This work starts stating that Brazilian education is crossed by the split between manual and intellectual work, offering a one-sided education of children. Search subsidies to overcome this condition, putting on two theoretical frameworks dialogue, a psychology and other education, both concerned with social transformation and integral formation of man: the educational theory of Paulo Freire and the Socio-Historical Psychology. Therefore, elects five analytical categories: the subject , the work, the práxis, the autonomy and the social transformation. Highlights the analysis of praxis, as indissolubility between intellectual work and practical work material, and the omnilaterality as the core element of the other categories. The methodology used was the analysis of two works by Freire: Pedagogy of the Oppressed and Pedagogy of Autonomy in the light of these categories raised in the work of Vygotsky, particularly the book Educational Psychology. The relevance of this work is to collaborate with the possibility of overcoming the disciplinary divide between education and psychology, in order to align a branch of Socio-Historical Psychology, call Social Psychology of Education, when designing the revolutionary education as its praxis and omnilaterality as a regulatory idea. Thus, Freire's revolutionary education was established as a praxis of the Socio-Historical Psychology
