This paper analyzes the role of public school in knowledge transfer and its importance for a full human formation. We assume that public school is essential for the education of working-class children, but also understand it as a space of permanent class struggle. In this sense, we consider transfer of scientific knowledge historically accumulated by society essential, since reflection and analysis of that scientific knowledge allow children and young people to acquire class consciousness and reduce alienation. Raising awareness among the working class helps unmask the State’s ideological discourses and reveal the position it takes as it “regulates” the antagonistic interests of capitalist society. Based on historical-critical pedagogy and its dialectical materialistic historical method, we analyze emancipatory education and use authors such as Saviani, Freire and Marsiglia, among others, to write the present paper.
Keywords : public school; scientific knowledge; teaching-learning methodology; Human emancipation.
