Abstract
SILVA, Herbert Gomes da and INFANTE-MALACHIAS, Maria Elena. Biology of autonomy: the importance of Freire’s temporality and Maturana’s historical phenomenon for biology education. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2017, vol.42, n.1, pp.159-175. ISSN 1981-1802. https://doi.org/10.5216/ia.v42i1.41637.
The purpose of this article is to discuss the importance of the historical phenomenon and historicity, linking them to education and learning. We used the theories of Humberto Maturana and Paulo Freire, as principles for Biology of Autonomy. We are defending the need for education, within biology teaching, focused on human development where the student is both the subject/ observer who interferes and acts in reflective and conscious way in the world he lives, and because of it, he understands its own importance as an historical subject. Therefore his learning is an observable phenomenon within that design.
Keywords : Autonomy of Biology; Biology Teaching; Learning; Historicity and Historical Phenomenon.
