PALHANO, Tânia Rodrigues and BAPTISTA, Maria das Graças de Almeida. The philosophy in high school from the institution of discipline to the challenge of educational experience in didactic material. Rev. Reflex [online]. 2017, vol.25, n.3, pp.377-395. ISSN 1982-9949. https://doi.org/10.17058/rea.v25i3.9187.
From 2008, with the introduction of Philosophy’s Teaching as high school discipline, are raised questions about the didactic materials that involve discussions about the form of organization of contents. The present study examines the legislation that focuses on mandatory teaching of philosophy in high school, relating to the practice of this activity in the State of Paraíba. The objective is to investigate the didactic materials of philosophy, placing them in the context of an education focused on vocational training or the entry into higher education. The methodology consists in the research about the legislation; in the philosophical experience in school context from the concept of education’s experience in Dewey; and in the analysis of the didactic materials of philosophy in high school in the State of Paraíba. The institution of Philosophy, converted into scholarly knowledge, aiming at a critical, liberating and creative education, must allow the student the autonomy of think and act.
