Abstract

MATOS, Mario Sérgio Coutinho  and  CUNHA, Marcus Vinicius. William James talks with teachers and students: lessons for the present. Perspectiva [online]. 2018, vol.36, n.3, pp.961-977.  Epub July 29, 2019. ISSN 2175-795X.  https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-795x.2018v36n3p961.

This article analyzes the educational conceptions of William James in the book Talks to teachers on psychology, published in 1899, in which the notion of teaching as art is found. In order to broaden the understanding of this notion, we refer to the reflections made by James in the book The varieties of religious experience, published in 1902. The purpose of this article is to revitalize James’ conceptions in order to contribute to authors who critically discuss current trends in education.

Keywords : Pedagogical Theories; Pragmatism; Contemporary Pedagogy; Rhetorical Pedagogy.
