Thinking a critical pedagogical doing for the mozambican public school

Abstract

The article serves as a starting point for critical theories by Bourdieu and Althusser, to which the public school in contemporary society can be seen as essentially reproducing the capitalist ideals of social relations. With the aim of sustaining that such criticisms do not take into account the historical and dialectical character of the educational institution by not observing its contradictions (becoming, thus, unilateral); This article proposes a debate based on the theoretical-methodological foundations of the historical-critical pedagogy founded by Saviani on the contradictory character of public school in Marx's class society regarding human formation. To carry out this research, we base ourselves on the qualitative theoretical approach, carried out through the technique of bibliographical and documental research. For the horizontal and vertical ordering of the text we used the logical-argumentative method. The conclusions we reached reveal that the Mozambican public school refers to the role of human formation in educational agents such as the teacher, as a conscious agent of human formation, therefore, mediator of the teaching and learning processes and their constitution, as well as that of the student, as a socially and historically situated subject, and not necessarily in the school program.
Keywords: critical-reproductivist theories of education; historical-critical pedagogy; human formation.
