Panorama das perspectivas conceituais da aula na atualidade: sobre tensionamentos e entendimentos

Abstract

This article aims to present a synthesis of the research developed in 2024 with the title “The class in conceptual perspectives: a state of knowledge”. This investigation aimed to identify and analyze the conceptual perspectives of classes based on theses and dissertations available in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) from 2009 to 2024. The research was developed using the methodology called “state of knowledge”, aiming to present an overview of the topic under study. The corpus was composed of 18 works, 10 theses and 8 dissertations, selected based on criteria such as title, language, year of publication and the presence of the word "class" in the keywords. Data analysis was carried out using records, which identified author, title, year of defense, advisor, institution, keywords, methodology used and authors of the bibliographic references of each work. Today, the class is understood as a "moving subject" and considered the "center of the pedagogical process" in which students can be guided to incorporate the knowledge that is relevant to them. Thus, the concept of class presents itself as something complex, encompassing a series of other concepts that are interrelated, such as education, pedagogy and didactics. It was also identified that the conceptual perspectives of classes found throughout this investigation suggest that classes have a more philosophical than pedagogical character.

Keywords: Education, Class, Didactics, Class constructs, Class concepts and understandings.
