Oficina de conceitos para além do ensino transmissivo

Abstract

This dissertation aims to philosophically explore the teaching of philosophy at the Brazilian high school level, with focus on the workshop of concepts of the Brazilian philosopher Sílvio Gallo. It seeks to understand if the teaching of philosophy as the creation of concepts can get over the model of teaching as transmission of contents, through the approach of the workshop of concepts of the Brazilian author. It dialogues with the theory of Deleuze-Guattari, who originally theorized philosophy as the invention of concepts, and with authors working, directly or indirectly, on the limitations of Gallo’s theory.The work is divided into three main chapters. The first presents a theoretical review of the concept of philosophy as the creation of concepts and its political implications. The second explores philosophy teaching through a perspective influenced by Sílvio Gallo, presenting various topics he addresses, culminating in his methodological proposal of the concept workshop. The third chapter investigates, through different authors’ works, the current configuration of philosophy teaching in Brazil, addressing the challenges and limitations that Gallo’s work can find. From this point of view, the dissertation concludes that, in spite of various benefits and merits that constitute it, Gallo’s workshop shows to have limitations in theoretical consistency, especially the absence of a clear articulation between its political and educational dimensions, which could generate setbacks in the attempt to overcome teaching as transmission at the high school level.
