AMORIM, Filipi Vieira; NEVES, Júlia Guimarães; ALVARENGA, Bruna Telmo and PEREIRA, Vilmar Alves. The incongruity between the predicates of education: the challenges of teaching in the context of popular education. ETD [online]. 2015, vol.17, n.3, pp.502-513.

The essay proposes a reflection on the principles that guide the idea of Popular Education as a political-pedagogical practice. The discussion is a dialogue with scholars of Popular Education that culminates with notes on the challenges of the act of teaching in this perspective. The article is divided into i) Forewords; ii) Historical and conceptual traits of Popular Education; iii) The senses of Popular Education; iv) The challenges of teaching in the context of Popular Education; v) Final considerations. The main thesis is the unfortunate necessity of qualifying Education as a way to stake out a political field, of resistance and struggle, against the antinomies that underlie our educational system. Still, it is admittedly a posture in defense of the human ethic with a view to equality and social justice.
