LETTER ABOUT PEDAGOGICAL LETTERS

tribute to Paulo Freire in the centenary year of his birth

Abstract

The article, prepared in the form of a Pedagogical Letter, aims to present, in content and form, contributions to argue about theoretical-methodological potential intrinsic to the expression minted by Paulo Freire. It is understood that the expression is inviting to the reinvention of Frerian thought and fruitful to glimpse possibilities of articulation between teaching, research, extension and management actions. Taking in to account this understanding, produced in the diversity of the experiences shared in the wanderings of an educator-researcher, in the context of training with managers and teachers, five suggestions of notes to draft a Pedagogical Letter are presented. In addition to presenting a step by step guideline, the intention is to invite dialogue of the Permanent Transformation Tetragram as a theoretical-conceptual matrix of reference to understand and exercise the complexity of the process triggered by the Pedagogical Letters proposition as a methodological instrument of education.
