Trabalho pedagógico como forma de resistência: um estudo bibliográfico

Abstract

Inserted in the research line Foundations of Educational Processes, this study’s theme is the relation between school pedagogic work and resistance to capital. It also assumes that relationships are not left to chance and that historical determinations are permeated by contradictions and forces that move constantly, whether for maintenance or transformation of society. It aims to understand how pedagogic work in public schools can be developed as a form of resistance to capitalist mode of production. Therefore, we developed a research of qualitative nature, conducted through a bibliographical survey on the digital platform of the Brazilian Institute of Information on Science and Technology (IBICT), specifically in the digital library of theses and dissertations (BDTD), along with theses and dissertations of graduate programs in Education in Brazilian universities, considering the scientific productions defended and published from 2006 to 2016. Shortly, the purpose of this study was to understand the nature of school pedagogic work and the possibilities of a resistance movement to the mode of capitalist production in the public school. The educational references that guided the theoretical discussions were, among others, Frigotto (1996), Lopes (2008), Marx2004, 2010, 2013), Mészáros (2007), Paro (1993, 2014) and Saviani (2012). The connection between the information seized in the thirteen selected productions in the bibliographic research and the literature on the subject enabled a synthesis on educational work and forms of resistance in the Brazilian public school. As a result, it was possible to understand that, based on work as the production of human existence, social relations must be the point of exit and arrival of pedagogic work. In this sense, pedagogic work should involve the pedagogical and political organization of school environments, although the movement contrary to capitalist mode of production and in defense of the working class is and will continue to be a challenge for the teachers and Education professionals committed to social transformation.
