GALUCH, Maria Terezinha Bellanda. Desenvolvimento do pensamento crítico e valorização da realidade nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental: vivência ou experiência?. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2013, vol.35, n.02, pp.263-269. ISSN 2178-5201.

The organization of the production process has modified substantially during the last five decades, or rather, there has been a development from a rigid to a flexible type of production. The flexibilization of production, followed by that of products and processes, demands new forms. Within this context, the educational proposals which are systematized in official documents that, in the long run, direct the curricular organization, such as in more general discussions on education, currently expected, require emphasis on the development of critical thought. This may occur through the valorization of the student’s real world as a necessary trait for the 21st century citizen. Current essay, foregrounded on the presuppositions of the Critical Theory, describes the limits of formation for the development of thought that should be denominated ‘critical thought’. Critical thought necessarily implies the undertaking of an experience whilst it presupposes theory, intellectual activity, reflection and analysis of the phenomena so that their determinants could be revealed.

Keywords : Critical Theory; Teaching; Learning.
