A IMPORTÂNCIA DA LEITURA À FORMAÇÃO POLÍTICA:

THE IMPORTANCE OF READING FOR POLITICAL TRAINING: REFLECTIONS AS SUPPORT FOR TEACHERS IN INITIAL TRAININ

Abstract

the present work aims to disturb the reader regarding the formation of critical thinking as essential for the development of autonomy and human emancipation from the inclusive perspective. To this end, we seek to present arguments for reflection on reading as fundamental to the critical formation of subjects, allowing them to understand the world, question their realities and fully exercise their citizenship. Freire (1970) highlighted the importance of this reading as a process of understanding the world and social structures, arguing that the act of reading must go beyond the simple assimilation of information, being an activity of interpretation and contextualization. Therefore, banking education, criticized by Freire (1970), because it is a traditional model of transmitting knowledge in a hierarchical and passive way, is replaced by the proposal of an emancipatory education, capable of promoting dialogue, critical awareness and transformative action. To outline the proposed education, examples of practical actions will be presented, such as encouraging dialogue between teacher and student, identifying generating themes relevant to the students' reality, promoting critical awareness and reflecting on students' personal experiences. Therefore, this article seeks to present different perspectives on emancipatory training that contradict banking education, as well as some practices to overcome them.
