Para além de uma discussão que parece estar na moda, a proposta desse livro é contribuir, de fato, para as reflexões e práticas que dinamizam e movimentam o ambiente escolar. Quando se pretende articular ética, formação, interculturalidade e decolonialidade para pensar as coisas da educação, ele quer dialogar não apenas com os pesquisadores das temáticas aqui tratadas, mas sobretudo chegar ao ambiente da escola e da sala de aula.

Sempre recorrendo ao mais do mesmo, o que geralmente acontece é um olhar supe...

Much recent theorizing has been concerned to show that effective professional deliberation and judgement cannot be reduced either to technical rationality or to simple obedience to general occupational procedures or prescriptions. Professional judgement would seem to require the development of a distinctive mode of practical (ethical) reflection or 'wisdom' - perhaps along the lines of Aristotle's 'phronesis' or practical wisdom. Reflection is required to address such key professional concerns as: What is the impact of official prescription and regulation on prof...
Contemporary argumentation studies continue a tradition founded by Aristotle, Cicero, Quintilian and others. Since the end of the Second World War, they have been vigorously taken over and reoriented by different schools of thought, stressing their link to the renovated disciplines of logic, dialectic, rhetoric or grammar.

At the turn of the century, argumentation in science education and argumentation about socio-...
