DO IMAGINÁRIO TEMPLO/IGREJA À EXPERIÊNCIA DO SAGRADO EM CRIANÇAS DE UMA ESCOLA PÚBLICA EM BELA VISTA DE GOIÁS

Abstract

This dissertation treats the relationship between the students and the pedagogical proposal (religion) at the Pedro Alves Ferreira School, Santa Cruz and Las Vegas I neighbourhood, Bela Vista, Goiânia-Goiás. Using Durkeirm as the theoretical basis and his phrase "the child to be prepared for society needs to be instructed by his teachers", 36 students demonstrated through drawings their main religious scene, obtaining temple/church as the response. Base on this we discovered that the temple/church represent a significant influence on the students and as such need to be considered as part of the pedagogical proposal. Noting that the temple/church structure nurtures a sense of the sacred cultivating peace and harmony... whilst daily life in the neighbourhood is profane, violent and unhappy. Considering the temple/church as space for human integration the discussion led to the conclusion that the temple/church was a place where the students from the Pedro Alves Ferreira School felt protected. The pedagogical proposal seeks to rescue some of the aspects that the students acquired at the temple/church before coming to school, without forgetting the standard pedagogical proposal of the school, as the teacher has to work with the symbolic world view of the students.
