Uma concepção pragmática de ensino e aprendizagem

Abstract

After the linguistic shift of the late 19 th century, new epistemologies emerged taking into account the fundamental role played by language and its praxis in the constitution of the meanings of our experience. Notably, philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein speaks of "language-games" to emphasize the actions involved in language, seen as linguistic instruments par excellence. Nevertheless, the pragmatism in education continued to ascribe to language only the role of describing the experience, or of being its representative. With these considerations in mind, the present text proposes to reflect upon teaching and learning within the school context, having as its referential an epistemology of Wittgenstenian inspiration, the philosophical pragmatics, with a view to rethink the current pedagogical practices, which have oscillated between an essentialist conception of education (we all construct one same knowledge) and, in the other extreme, the possibility of a total relativism. Between the transcendental and the empirical, the philosophical pragmatics gives us instruments to see the teaching action as the representation of a certain worldview, grounded on rules of a conventional nature which, therefore, cannot be uncovered by the pupil, but, at the same time, constitute the conditions for the meaning so that the pupil, once persuaded by the teacher, can organize his/her experience in a different way, oriented by these rules.

“…To elucidate this dilemma, Gottschalk (2007Gottschalk ( , 2013 and reveals that Dewey's pragmatism in learning by doing, inaugurates empiricism, which takes into "consideration praxis, that is, the idea that everything must be taught according to its use and its function in life. Knowledge is considered real if it is useful if it solves problems faced by man".…”

A pragmática filosófica de Wittgenstein e a Educação Matemática

“…Não decretamos com isso a "impossibilidade da matemática" neste cenário, mas temos que observar como estas diferentes concepções nos colocam diferentes problemas e, também, diferentes caminhos para seguir. Os textos de Gottschalk (2004Gottschalk ( , 2007Gottschalk ( , 2008Gottschalk ( , 2013 são citados em praticamente todas estas produções aqui apresentadas, eles tratam basicamente do descompasso entre a proposta, o modelo ou o paradigma de ensino que estão postos em nossas escolas, por exemplo, nos PCN e a perspectiva wittgensteiniana. A autora destaca o aspecto normativo da Matemática para Wittgenstein e como ele se afasta, desta forma, das perspectivas construtivistas, presentes ainda hoje nas escolas:…”

“…Este modo de compreensão da matemática enquanto "jogo", localmente situado, nos impede, em alguma medida, em falarmos de construção ou aquisição de conhecimento -no sentido de ter algo que não tinha -, aprender matemática da Educação Básica (da sala de aula de Matemática) é aprender a jogar certos jogos dessa sala de aula, como sinaliza Gottschalk (2004Gottschalk ( , 2007.…”
