THESING, Mariana Luzia Corrêa  and  MOROSINI, Marília Costa. Teaching authority and student autonomy: Problematizations about their relations, practices and knowledge. Educação. UNISINOS [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.1, pp.101-109. ISSN 2177-6210.  https://doi.org/10.4013/edu.2018.221.11.

The teaching authority is often confused with the idea of authoritarianism and rigidity in the school space. However, rigor in disciplinary pedagogical practices is a pedagogical choice of the educator committed to liberating pedagogy. From the Freirean perspective, this text is the result of a research, a qualitative study, from a case study, which had as objective to know and understand the practices and knowledge of a teacher about the construction processes of her authority and the autonomy of her students. Based on semi-structured interviews, participant observations and analysis of official/school documents, the results showed the need for the articulation of the concepts of authority and autonomy, the importance of teaching authority practices for the construction of student autonomy and the difficulties of the school institution to work with this problematic, due to the concepts of authority and autonomy.

Keywords : Teaching Authority; Student Autonomy; Liberating Pedagogy.
