A espiritualidade numa concepção de educação que compreende a integralidade humana

Abstract

The present work deals with the theme Education and Spirituality, having as object of study, specifically, spirituality in a conception of education that comprehends human integrality. The general objective of the work is to associate spirituality with a formative conception that contemplates human integrality. To achieve this goal, the following specific objectives were defined: to understand the meaning of human integrality; address the philosophical assumptions of spirituality in human formation; and associate education and spirituality. For the construction of this theoretical framework, we conducted a qualitative research and bibliographic procedure. The research was referenced in Röhr (2010), Röhr (2011) and Röhr (2013), dialoguing with the author Policarpo Júnior (2010). The philosophical studies of the authors presented constituted the epistemological part of the research, through which the arguments were interpreted and constructed (GADAMER, 2015). The association of the educational task with spirituality is based on the assumption that education can be a path that leads the subjects involved (educator and student) towards integral human formation. The preparation to include the spiritual dimension in the educational processes begins when the pedagogical practices favor the care with the immanent basic dimensions.
