School and democracy
As indicated in the title, the axis around which the content of this work revolves are the relations between education and democracy. If it is reasonable to suppose that democracy is not taught through undemocratic practices, it must not be inferred that the democratization of internal relations within the school is a sufficient condition for preparing young people for active participation in the democratization of society. It is not simply a matter of choosing between authoritarian or democratic relations within the classroom, but rather of articulating the work developed in schools with the process of democratization of society. The pedagogical practice contributes in a specific way, that is to say, pedagogically, to the democratization of society insofar as one understands how the question of democracy is posed with regard to the proper nature of pedagogical work, which, in turn, implies a real inequality (at the point of departure) and a possible equality (at the point of arrival).

Manual of Brazilian Portuguese Linguistics

Radical Heroes
First Published in 1998. This book examines the ideas of two of the most controversial radical heroes of adult education, Antonio Gramsci and Paulo Freire, gauging their significance for the development of a radical politics of adult education in the post-Soviet, post-apartheid new world order. Gramsci offers a noble vision of the role of adult education in the creation of revolutionary Marxist hegemony; but the cause he lived and died for has all but collapsed. Nevertheless, his distinction between common sense and good sense, his theory of the intellectual and his concept of hegemony bear scrutiny today. In Freire's pedagogy of the oppressed, the relationship between leader and followed, t...
Historical-critical pedagogy
"This book is a first approach to the meaning of historical-critical pedagogy. The process of elaborating on this pedagogical current is underway, with contributions from different scholars. As for me, I am engaged in a long-range research project, conducted at an irregular pace, with no deadline to finish; an investigation that aims to trace the course of education from its remote origins, guided by the concept of 'mode of production'. It is a matter of explaining how changes in the forms of production of human existence have historically generated new forms of education, which, in turn, influenced the process of transforming the corresponding mode of production. The aim is to reveal the bases on which historical-critical pedagogy rests to enable a consistent configuration of the entire education system from the point of view of this conception of education."
Emerging Perspectives from Social Realism on Knowledge and Education
This book brings the key ideas and concepts of social realism to bear on current debates in the fields of knowledge and curriculum. The key concern of this collection is to highlight matters related to knowledge and the influence these dimensions have on the formation of curricula, pedagogy, identity, and equity in educational contexts. Presenting new perspectives on the place of various types and forms of knowledge in contemporary education, this book explores two central questions, ‘what type of knowledge is most important to include in a curriculum?’ and ‘what is meant by disciplinary knowledge?’ The chapters use empirical examples to illustrate how the issues play out on a global...
