Abstract

GOMES, Luiz Roberto; GRUSCHKA, Andreas  and  ZUIN, Antonio Alvaro Soares. Magic Words: instant solution to pedagogical questions?. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2021, vol.35, n.73, pp.199-229.  Epub Jan 11, 2024. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v35n73a2021-57274.

The aim of this article is to analyze, based on the theoretical-epistemological contribution of objective hermeneutics, the presence, reason and use of magic words in the school context, especially in the relationships established between students and teachers. To this end, the poster “Palavras Mágicas”, an image captured in a public elementary school in the municipality of São Carlos - SP, in 2018, was reconstructed empirically and interpreted by a group of Brazilian researchers and a foreigner. The historical-cultural meaning of magic words, as well as the questioning about the pertinence of adopting “magical pedagogical” practices in school, were contrasted with the pedagogical sense of school formation. The results of the analysis indicate that pedagogy cannot be practiced in a magical way, by means of the instantaneous and instrumentalization of its actions, because if it happened, we would be decreeing the end of Pedagogy.

Keywords : Magic Words; Pedagogy; Formation; Critical Theory; Objective Hermeneutics.
