A Pedagogia do Oprimido à Luz do Evangelho: Paulo Freire e Jesus em Diálogo

Abstract

This dissertation investigates the pedagogy of Jesus and Paulo Freire and the contributions that can serve as an improvement to the praxis of teaching. Its object is to study the current teaching practice in the light of the pedagogical process of Jesus Christ and the conscientization of Freire, which aims to verify if the term awareness can influence in the educational making, being an intrinsic aspect in the action of learning. It addresses the pedagogy of Jesus and his educational philosophy, as well as his attitudes, his personality and his way of relating to people, in an invitation to follow him. He presents Jesus as an educator and evidences the richness found in his pedagogical practice in recognizing his performance as a teacher in his time, which has crossed generations. It also presents Paulo Freire's pedagogy and his contributions throughout history, situating him as an educator who fought for respect for the other, in which dialogue was not only translated into a teaching strategy, but into the foundation of the teaching and learning process. Freire emphasizes that praxis promotes knowledge, which is action and reflection, in order to liberate the oppressed man from oppressive practice. Finally, the pedagogy of Jesus and Paulo Freire is approached, evidencing the common elements found in the educational practices of these two educators with the intention of giving clues to contemporary teachers within a dialectical and dialogic relationship, with a view to rewriting the practice pedagogy and rethink the political sense of education. For that, we will use as an investigative method the analysis of several researchers who study the pedagogy of Jesus and Paulo Freire, through the analysis of the Gospels and Freirian works. The intention is that the research contributes to clarify the concepts and strengthen the educational praxis.
