A EDUCAÇÃO NATURAL COMO COADJUVANTE NA FORMAÇÃO SOCIAL DO HOMEM CONTEMPORÂNEO

Abstract

Education has as its main meaning the act of transferring knowledge of its own or of a certain author to a subject who is willing to receive and introduce that knowledge into his being. In the course of this work, we will approach the theme that was presented above from a perspective related to natural education developed by Jean Jacques Rousseau (17 \ 12 \ 1778), in the course of his book Emílio or Da Educação. In addition, intertwined with this educational context, we will address the social formation of contemporary man at different stages of his life. We emphasize that the work is divided into six chapters, the first being directed to the introduction, which we will approach in general the context of the formation of natural education and the social formation of contemporary man, in the course of the second we will address the modern development of childhood concepts and pedagogy, taking into account the contributions of Rousseau, the third related to the development of the child and the individual inserted in the context of natural education, the fourth directed to the factors of pedagogical enlightenment and natural education and the fifth related to the social formation of man contemporary based on the principle of natural education and taking into account the data presented during the previous chapters and, in the last, final considerations are made. As a guiding question, we use: “How can natural education, developed by Rousseau during his works related to Emílio, interfere in the social formation of contemporary man?”.
