A experiência de "Emílio": uma breve discussão sobre a concepção de conhecimento e educação em Rousseau

Abstract

This article presents a critical analysis of the conception of education in Rousseau starting with his work "Emilio ou da Educação". It highlights how Rousseau's proposal is centered in a pedagogy that privileges the experience of the subject with the objective reality. Learning constitute then a process where child, educator and nature are necessarily implicated. In this triad, everyone teaches, both master and student learn. Rousseau evokes a group of subjects that are still up to date when he demonstrates that the relationship between teaching and learning is in fact the educational process itself.
