CONTRIBUIÇÕES DA CONCEPÇÃO CONSTRUTIVISTA PARA ÁREA EDUCACIONAL:
COMPARTILHANDO SABERES... NOVOS OLHARES
Education has the function of transmitting to the students the systematized knowledge, the historically produced scientific knowledge that will instrumentalize them to act in society in a critical, concrete and conscious way. Over the years, society has undergone several changes, since it is dynamic and in constant movement, but the Brazilian educational system has not been able to keep up with the essential changes in the individual's formal education. In this sense, this article aims to present the contributions of the Piagetian theory in the educational area, seeking to clarify some misconceptions about this theory, to train and inform teachers about its use in pedagogical practice, since it allows a closer approximation of the school social role. For that, we use, as an epistemological theoretical contribution, authors who discuss the key concepts of Jean Piaget's constructivist theory. From these discussions, it is possible to confirm the relevance of Piagetian theory in the educational area, promoting knowledge and human development in all its possibilities.
