Abstract

PETRY, Paulo Padilla. Piagetian and psychoanalytical critique to current teacher education. Educ. Real. [online]. 2006, vol.31, n.01, pp.53-68. ISSN 0100-3143.

In this work, the Piagetian and psychoanalytical theories are used to criticize some of the current initiatives in teacher education. According psychoanalytical theory, it's impossible to find an ideal middle ground between too much repression and the lack of it, but it's possible to criticize the idea of adjusting educational measures to children and adolescents because this jeopardizes educational actions and increases parents' and teachers' helplessness. According to Piagetian theory, it seems clear that the mere repetition of theories introduced in classes does not create a great impact in educational practice and that a viable and more interesting altemative to change education would be having courses in which the educators could build their own theories about their practice, theories which should be respected by teacher educators.

Keywords : Psychoanalysis and Education; Consciousness Raising; Teacher Education.
