Resumo: | The link between the objectives of the educational process and the ideals of freedom and autonomy seems to be a common and recurrent element throughout the various pedagogical discourses that left their mark on the 20th century. At first sight, this apparent consensus could indicate a rare agreement within a field characterized by theoretical and practical disputes, usually grounded on diverging assumptions, and that tend to point to conflicting ideals and alternative procedures. In this article, we try to argue that such apparent unanimity tends to vanish as we unveil the different meanings attributed to the ideal of "freedom", and compare the practical efforts through which such ideal is pursued within the field of education. For that, we make use of the analyses of different senses of the concept of "freedom", contrasting the conception that sees in it a political goal to be achieved in public life with the currents that identify it either with the subjective faculty of the will, or with the non-interference in individual choices. Lastly, we seek to establish the connection between these conceptions of freedom and different pedagogical discourses, analyzing the current trends associated with the "pedagogy of autonomy" in the light of the political thinking of Hannah Arendt and her reflections about the education crisis of the modern world. |

A vinculação entre os objetivos do processo educacional e os ideais de liberdade e autonomia parece ser um elemento comum e recorrente nos mais variados discursos pedagógicos que marcaram o século XX. À primeira vista esse aparente consenso poderia indicar um raro acordo em um campo marcado por disputas teóricas e práticas, em geral fundadas em pressupostos divergentes e que costumam apontar para ideais conflituosos e procedimentos alternativos. No presente artigo, procura-se argumentar no sentido de que essa aparente unanimidade tende a se esvair na medida em que se elucidam os diferentes sentidos atribuídos ao ideal de "liberdade" e que se confrontam os esforços práticos por meio dos quais se busca realizá-lo no campo da educação. Para isso, recorre-se à análise de algumas das diferentes acepções do conceito de "liberdade", opondo a concepção que nela vê um desígnio político a ser alcançado na vida pública às correntes que a identificam ora com a faculdade subjetiva da vontade, ora com a não interferência na escolha individual. Por último, procura-se vincular algumas dessas concepções de liberdade a diferentes discursos pedagógicos, analisando-se a voga das correntes vinculadas à "pedagogia da autonomia" à luz do pensamento político de Hannah Arendt e de suas reflexões sobre a crise da educação no mundo moderno.

The link between the objectives of the educational process and the ideals of freedom and autonomy seems to be a common and recurrent element throughout the various pedagogical discourses that left their mark on the 20th century. At first sight, this apparent consensus could indicate a rare agreement within a field characterized by theoretical and practical disputes, usually grounded on diverging assumptions, and that tend to point to conflicting ideals and alternative procedures. In this article, we try to argue that such apparent unanimity tends to vanish as we unveil the different meanings attributed to the ideal of "freedom", and compare the practical efforts through which such ideal is pursued within the field of education. For that, we make use of the analyses of different senses of the concept of "freedom", contrasting the conception that sees in it a political goal to be achieved in public life with the currents that identify it either with the subjective faculty of the will, or with the non-interference in individual choices. Lastly, we seek to establish the connection between these conceptions of freedom and different pedagogical discourses, analyzing the current trends associated with the "pedagogy of autonomy" in the light of the political thinking of Hannah Arendt and her reflections about the education crisis of the modern world. |
