Exploring other scenarios: Non-formal education and social pedagogy
Abstract
This article discusses the concept of Social Pedagogy as it has been used in Europe, more specifically in Spain and Portugal, comparing it to the experiences of non-formal education constructed and consolidated in Brazil. It explores the possible convergences or divergences between the philosophical theories and methodological assumptions of both experiences. However, it is a tentative theoretical approach to the topic, motivated by the authors’ involvement in the areas of teaching, research and extension courses that emphasize educational practices historically seen as non-formal. The paper also reflects on these educative interventions, establishing a dialog with them in order to relate them to other areas of knowledge. At the same time it reiterates the need for a study on Social Pedagogy as a knowledge that crosses discipline boundaries and transversalizes non-formal educational practices.
Key words: education, educational practices, non-formal education, social pedagogy.Downloads
