Educational Reforms Conducted by Brazilian Courts

Author(s):  
Adriana Dragone Silveira

Since the turn of the 21st century, there has been significant debate about the right to education in Brazil, and educational policies adopted by different courts to promote educational reforms have been questioned. The 1988 Federal Constitution has expanded the content of the right to education, as well as established principles, state and federal duties, and different educational funding forms. The Federal Constitution also extended the attributions of institutions aimed at defending social rights, such as the Public Prosecutor’s Office. Thus, new legal arrangements enabled expanding the involvement of justice system institutions in educational reforms. Educational litigation in Brazil can be analyzed by the structure of the judicial system, the right to education, and the main decisions made by the Federal Supreme Court on such issues as the state’s obligation to provide enough seats in early childhood education (2005); the national professional minimum wage (2011); religious education (2017); elementary school–entrance age (2018); and homeschooling (2018). Despite the advancements in guaranteeing the right to education, educational litigation has not always been beneficial for strengthening and expanding educational rights. On the one hand, it has had a positive bias when lawsuits aim at including citizens in public policies, as in the case about the consolidation of early childhood education as a state duty. On the other hand, it has had a negative bias when there is excessive bureaucratization and disrespect toward the autonomy of the educational field, as in the case about the independence of the National Education Council (CNE) to define educational guidelines for enrollment age and religious education.

This bibliographic study aims to discuss the specificities of teaching in Early Childhood Education from its origins, legal determinations and professional training. The approval of the 1996 Law of Guidelines and Bases recognizes Early Childhood Education as the first stage of Basic Education, since the child is considered a citizen, subject of rights, since the enactment of the Federal Constitution in 1988. Despite the innumerable progress of laws in Regarding the right to education from birth, there are many challenges. This is because the realization of this right is not yet accessible to all children, especially when considering the questions: access, permanence and quality of services provided. Thisfact occurs because, in many cases, there are: precariousness in teacher training, in working conditions and in the performance of teachers. Hence the importance of guaranteeing and implementing public policies for initial and continuing education that enable teachers to build practices that recognize the specificities of this level of education. The professional valorization in terms of salary and career, also contribute to the improvement of educational practices with children, especially in the development of their different languages.

A child’s right to education within the family according to Imam Syafi’i and its significance for early childhood  education in Indonesia This research is based on library research on the rights of the child to education within the family from the viewpoint of Imam Shafi’i, and the impact of his teachings on early childhood education in Indonesia. The study is interesting because the first schools to appear in Indonesia were of the Syafi’i tradition. Imam Syafi’i jurists and ushuliyyin have collections of poems that express the need to develop education in early childhood. Despite this, the theory of children’s education in the school of Imam Syafi’i is under researched. This study examines three research questions. First, how does one undertake a  biography of the thought of Imam Syafi’i and Imam Syafi’i school of thought. Second, what is the concept of children’s rights in the family in the view of Imam Syafi’i. And third, is there reference to  early Childhood education that implies the concept of children’s rights to education in the view of Imam Syafi’i. This study concludes that Imam Syafi ‘i in scientific rihlah is purely academic. Imam Syafi’i also elicits several important ideas on a child’s rights within the family, the right to education and the right to self-expression. Imam Syafi’i schools are relevaant to early childhood education in Indonesia in which these (religious education) schools are widespread.

To realize the vision of national development, namely to realize a society of noble character, morality, ethics, culture and civilization based on the Pancasila philosophy, the national education system must be the main focus that must be addressed. Based on the functions and objectives of national education, it is clear that education at every level must be organized systematically to achieve that goal. This concerns the reality of education in educational units from early childhood education to tertiary education which is currently experiencing fading and degradation in terms of forming the character of its students. All of this is due to the absence of a learning system focused on the direction of the formation of superior character values. Keywords:education, character education, youth and the future of the nation Untuk mewujudkan visi pembangunan nasional, yaitu mewujudkan masyarakat berakhlak mulia, bermoral, beretika, berbudaya dan beradab berdasarkan falsafah Pancasila, maka sistem pendidikan nasional harus menjadi fokus utama yang harus dibenahi.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo abordar e analisar a formação da identidade pessoal e social da criança na Educação Infantil estabelecidos nas atuais Diretrizes e Referenciais Curriculares Nacionais da Educação Infantil. Procura, também, identificar a importância das brincadeiras e suas interações, dos brinquedos para o desenvolvimento da formação desta identidade e do papel do professor e da professora nesse processo. Esta pesquisa configura-se como exploratória qualitativa e tem como procedimento técnico a análise dos documentos legais como o Referencial Curricular Nacional para a Educação Infantil: formação pessoal e social (BRASIL, 1998), as Diretrizes curriculares nacionais para a educação infantil (BRASIL, 2010) e os Brinquedos e brincadeiras nas creches: manual de orientação pedagógica (BRASIL, 2012). Entendemos que os textos e as diretrizes legais, mesmo sendo referências nacionais, são significados no seu contexto e, por mais que se procure universalizar práticas, estas só se revelam na ação dos próprios sujeitos que o compõem e lhe dão sentido e significado. Ou seja, por mais que as diretrizes ou as orientações legais sejam prescritivas e universais, quem dá sentido ao texto e ao conhecimento é o próprio sujeito que o vive. Palavras-chave: Identidade. Criança. Formação pessoal e social. Brinquedos.ABSTRACTThis article addresses and analyzes one of the objectives of Early Childhood Education established in the current National Curriculum Guidelines and Frameworks for Early Childhood Education, which is the formation of the child’s personal and social identity.

This research is configured as a qualitative and thematic research as an analysis of legal documents as the National Curricular Reference for Childhood Education: personal and social formation (BRASIL, 1998), National Curricular Guidelines for Early Childhood Education (BRASIL, 2010), The toys and games in the nursery: pedagogical guidance manual. (BRAZIL, 2012). We understand that texts and legal laws, even if they are national references, are meaningful in their context and therefore are universal practices, these are revealed in the action of more rigorous than the right of speech and meaning. That is, as rough as legal guidelines are prescribed and universal, what gives meaning to the text and to knowledge is the subject who lives.Keywords: Identity. Child. Personal and social formation.

This chapter aims to shed light on the relationship between the development of laterality and the learning of mathematics in early childhood education using the ABN method. Thus, the authors present an experience developed with 24 children of 4 and 5 years old from several sessions of physical education where laterality and mathematics were worked on in the framework of a project developed in the classroom. The neuropsychological laterality test and a psychomotor table with values referred exclusively to manual and foot laterality, and indicators referred to the ABN method were used as evaluation instruments. The results obtained indicate that students with homogeneous right- or left-handed laterality obtain better results, as well as those with crossed laterality, since they have defined their manual and foot dominance. However, students with undefined laterality obtain worse results, even showing a lateral tendency towards the use of the right side of the body.
