Abstract

JIMENEZ, Susana Vasconcelos; GONCALVES, Laurinete Paiva  and  BARBOSA, Luis Adriano Soares. O lugar do marxismo na formação do educador. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2006, vol.12, n.23, pp.189-203. ISSN 1981-0431.

The article is based upon an investigation in the field of teacher education, which intended to verify the presence/absence of Marxism within the context of the Pedagogy Course. Data was gathered through the analysis of curricular programs; questionnaires and interviews applied to instructors at Ceará State University (Brazil). The results indicate the critical-reflexive teacher as the Course's central point of reference for the majority of the subjects reached by the research. Meanwhile, the presence of Marxist critique within that context was found to be scarce and, all in all, rather problematic. On the other hand, despite the unqualifying process that swept it away from the academic world, Marxism, taken from a unitary and revolutionary standpoint, appears to support the development of two of the Course's programs. The article reaffirms the relevance of Marxism and defends an educational project which points beyond a capitalistic perspective.

Keywords : Marxism; Pedagogy; Teacher Education.
