Abstract

NEVES, Josélia Gomes. Paulo Freire: a look at the literacy history of the Educator of freedom. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.22, e176.  Epub Aug 07, 2023. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v22-2023-176.

The early history of learning to read and write of literature and education professionals represented the main mobilization of this work. The purpose was to understand how Paulo Freire’s literacy process happened. Although there are records about this trajectory, we believe that a more specific elaboration on the subject is necessary, especially due to the importance that the act of literacy had in the educator’s life throughout his existence. The methodology adopted was bibliographical research and narrative research. Early on, Paulo Freire’s literacy was a set of learning processes involving the binomial social condition and formal knowledge, inseparable pedagogical aspects also in his work, which led him to reject the mechanistic propositions of the spelling books. Thus, many of the elements present in his process of understanding the reading and writing systems had a profound impact on his critical, educational and humanist work.
