Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Licenciatura em Pedagogia) – Faculdade de Educação, Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2023.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br//handle/ri/24011The objective of this study, which was based mainly on Paulo Freire's theories, is to investigate the perspectives of a critical education in the midst of a social context whose oppression is established almost as a natural order. In this context, it becomes relevant to identify education models that make reflection impossible and, consequently, do not promote the understanding of the social and ancestral reality to which the subject belongs and, on the contrary, institute hegemonic political-cultural manifestations, reinforcing processes of manipulation and domination. Circumscribed to the area of Human Sciences, this is qualitative research of the bibliographic type and that resorted to theoretical references from books, academic and/or digital texts, having as its core the Freirean reflections of an education for autonomy. The educator Paulo Freire, as a means of resistance and confrontation, defends the right to a critical education so that the subject recognizes himself as a transforming agent, and that education is an instance of awareness and emancipation in opposition to the naturalization of oppression, breaking the shackles of ideological and market domination prevailing in the Brazilian educational systemporAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 InternationalPaulo FreireEducação críticaLiberdadePráxisCulturaPaulo FreireCritical educationFreedomPráxisCultureTCC
