Description
Summary:This article aims to examine the teaching of Brazilian Philosophy at the Instituto Federal do Ceará (IFCE), Fortaleza campus, as well as the Humanities Olympiads of the State of Ceará (OCHE), from the perspective of communicative rationality proposed by Jürgen Habermas. The research environment was specifically my experience as a teacher in the Telecommunications, Computer Science and Chemistry courses at IFCE, in Fortaleza. The choice of this theme is supported by the need for a more contextualized and situated approach to the teaching of Brazilian Philosophy, especially in the context of high school. Historically, the teaching of philosophy in Brazil has been characterized by a perspective centered on Eurocentric models, which disregard the cultural, historical and social particularities of the country. The main question to be discussed in this study is how the teaching of Brazilian Philosophy, combined with the pedagogical practices of the OCHE and in the light of Habermasian communicative reason, can help in the construction of knowledge that is at the same time local and global, theoretical and practical, critical and transformative. The investigation of pedagogical practices in OCHE and the application of communicative reason reveal how Brazilian philosophy can be used to favor an educational process that transcends the mere transfer of content, involving students in an active effort of reflection and transformation.
