Uma concepção de educação a partir do diálogo em Gadamer e Freire

Abstract

This is a qualitative and bibliographical study, based on the philosophical hermeneutics of Gadamer, Freire's critical pedagogy and phenomenology, carried out in the academic master's degree at PPED, at ICED, UFPA, Belém campus. of the concept of dialogue in the authors mentioned. The main objective of this study is to rethink education from the dialogical perspectives of Gadamer and Freire, and specifically: to reflect on the contribution of Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics to education; articulate some concepts of philosophical hermeneutics with the concept of dialogue in Gadamer; and, to establish relations between the conceptions of dialogical education in Gadamer and Freire with the question of the autonomy of the student. The guiding questions are as follows: 1. What kind of human being do we want to form, bearing in mind the contemporary context? And, therefore, 2. What education do we want, for what, for whom and based on what principles? As for the theoretical methodological reference, this work prioritizes Gadamer, in Truth and Method I and II (1999 and 2002, respectively) and Hermeneutics in Retrospective (2012); and Freire, in the works Education as a Practice of Freedom (1967), Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1987) and Pedagogy of Autonomy (2005). The contribution of interpreters of philosophical hermeneutics such as Flickinger, Rohden and Hermann is taken into account, as well as other important authors of education, such as Saviani. As a result we have reached the conclusion that education can never underestimate tradition, for as historical beings we are always in a given tradition. The language and, therefore, the dialogue intermediate the relation of the interpreter with the otherness. Education for the autonomy and citizenship of learners is most effective when it takes the living dialogue as a presupposition and establishes itself in a climate of intersubjectivity.
