O DIREITO FUNDAMENTAL À EDUCAÇÃO NA CONSTITUIÇÃO DE 1988: proposta de estudo da Constituição nas escolas públicas de ensino fundamental para o desenvolvimento crítico da cidadania no Brasil

Abstract

The fundamental right to education in the 1988 Constitution as a way of developing a critical conscience for the exercise of citizenship in Brazil constitutes the primordial foundation for the conquest of rights not yet consolidated in society. In view of the above, the theme of this monograph is the realization and concretization of critical knowledge of the Constitution in public schools as a way of providing citizen autonomy in the consolidation of their rights. The study of the Constitution based on pedagogical practices contextualized to the legal universe will promote a reflective discussion around social issues that involve the lack of effectiveness of constitutional norms in the country. The general objective of the research is to demonstrate how the strengthening of the legal-constitutional culture in schools can be experienced as a requirement for the critical development of the exercise of citizenship. Therefore, the methodology adopted is based on the development of bibliographic research, in a qualitative approach based on epistemological foundations and with the purpose of expanding scientific knowledge. The research is based on the analysis of scientific articles, doctrines, documents, bills, in the Federal Constitution of 1988 and in the Law of Directives and Bases of Education, instruments that served as a parameter for reflection on practical action in the face of the proposed objectives. For this purpose, authors from the areas of law and education were analyzed, among which stand out: Paulo Freire, Edgar Morin, Boaventura de Sousa Santos and José Afonso da Silva. The research instrumentalized the need to implement legal concepts in schools from consistent pedagogical practices of application regulated by the Law of Directives and Bases of Education. Given this, it is concluded that it is possible to change the current context of the lack of effectiveness of citizen's rights from the consolidation of effective educational practices that prioritize the constitutional legal culture in schools, thus providing the right to citizen education established in the Magna Carta.
