Educação integral e a escola contemporânea: uma análise a partir da crise da modernidade

Abstract

We live in complex times, especially in education. The 20th century challenged education as the foundation of society when it started, especially from theoretical models based on the denial of the fundamental assumptions of modernity, to question rationality and science as a producer of knowledge. The classical tradition of pedagogical thinking finds itself marginalized in the face of the uncertainties and irrationalism of this new model of society. Education, as the offspring of modernity, is undergoing a profound crisis which, in its fundamental structure, is the crisis of modernity itself. The model of society that emerged in modernity, which sees education as one of the essential elements of human emancipation, is experiencing a deep crisis that manifests itself in various sectors, such as politics, economy and culture, whose essence is found in a common foundation. : the crisis of rationality as a parameter for understanding the world and organizing life in society. It is in this perspective that the crisis of modernity turns into a crisis of education. Thus, understanding the extent to which the current school understands its role as a trainer of rational and autonomous individuals, based on the ideals of modernity, is the main objective of this study. Therefore, we start from the debate on the crisis of modern society and then demonstrate that the education crisis is part of this bigger picture. In view of this issue, we developed an empirical research with a qualitative focus, in order to investigate how the school as a typical institution of modernity has played its role in forming citizens for life in society, based on the ideals of democracy, and how this effective in its pedagogical work. It is expected that, with the completion of this research, contribute to the understanding of the origins of problems in the field of education, especially in schools, but which reflect on other institutions that make up contemporary society, which, as mentioned, have a deep relationship with the crisis. in education under the perspective of the crisis of modern rationality. Furthermore, it is intended to understand to what extent the current school understands its role as a trainer of rational and autonomous individuals, based on the ideals of modernity. Still, we will try to understand how the impacts of the crisis of rationality and science in contemporaneity in the daily practice of the school, especially on its role of formation for citizenship.
