CITIZENSHIPS, CONVERSATIONS AND CURRICULUMS

sparks of an everyday fabric

Abstract

This article seeks to examine and reflect on the connection between the right to education and citizenship today, through educational practices carried out by teachers and students in schools. By closely observing the classroom routine, it was possible to understand how curricula are constructed and applied, and how they relate to society, often diverging from official pedagogical proposals. The development of a more democratic and civil society requires a change in the educational culture, based on cooperation between individuals and the diversity of learning methods. Based on the ideas of research in/of/with everyday life, the importance of everyday activities stands out, considering the diversity and peculiarities of the individuals involved in the curricula designed and practiced. Assimilating and including different worldviews therefore implies recognizing and valuing the subjects themselves in the creation of knowledge, in addition to promoting collaboration and dialogue essential for the development of people who are more aware and engaged in social change. The suggested project is committed to the interaction and dynamic relationship between learning theories and everyday practices in the educational context, becoming a fundamental tool for understanding, valuing and disseminating knowledge beyond academic borders.
