Diálogo: mestre e discípulo uma leitura teológica da Pedagogia do oprimido de Paulo Freire

Abstract

This research aims to answer the following question: What interfaces can we reflect from a transformative and Christian education, that are in the area of scalabrinian education nowadays? The catholic school is a privileged space to exercise the mission of evangelization. We reflected upon the dialogue: Master and Disciple, through a theological reading of the Pedagogy of the Oppressed, looking for its conducting wire in Master Jesus pedagogy in the passage of Lc 24, 13-35, The Way to Emmaus, that is part the scalabrinian education pedagogy. We identified Paulo Freire s contribution, in the proposal of the Gospel of Luke 24,13-35 and in the scalabrinian education that Don Giovanni Baptista Scalabrini launches as a task for a congregation. Paulo Freire believed that the society could be transformed through education problem-solving dialogue. The dialogue is based on elements, such as: love, faith, humility, confidence and hope, that are in Paulo and Giovani Battista Scalabrini s view of education, which are also part of Christian theological reflection. (Lc 24, 13-35) The Way of Emmaus is the path of revelation of the true pedagogy. Jesus is the way towards Truth and Life. Besides, the scalabrinian pedagogy aims, in the way that education happens, to answer the claims of the Church and society, that is constantly moving. Making the school environment a theological space, the school contributes to the charisma that is assumed in the Church. In this type of dialogue, in a master/disciple, it is possible to reflect upon education as a way to act in theological education.
