VIEIRA, Ricardo  and  VIEIRA, Ana Maria. Uses and abuses of formal and non-formal education. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2016, vol.21, n.41, pp.14-29. ISSN 2318-1982.  https://doi.org/10.20435/231819822016102.

This text is divided into two movements. In the first movement looking deconstruct as reductive dichotomy between formal and informal in general Education and Social Education in particular. We understand that the Social Pedagogy, more interested in the (trans) personal and social education, and the Anthropology of Education, more in the study of educational processes, interpenetrating knocking walls as formal / non-formal / informal and still the school and non-school, stressing the educational process as a complex and comprehensive process that takes place between birth and death. Both one and the other, Social Pedagogy and Anthropology of Education, now prefer to opt for the use of non-school size, compared with the school logic, rather than non-formal. In the second movement of the text focuses on social pedagogy as a science matrix of Social Education (CARIDE, 2005) and the powers of the social educator who becomes autonomous in relation to social work for its pedagogical character that determines their role models or at school, or beyond the school, both in space and time more formal or less formal.

Keywords : Formal, informal and no formal education; social pedagogy; social education.
