Education and leisure: reflections on Brazilian documents (PNE and BNCC) in the light of critical historical pedagogy

Abstract

Objective: This article deals about education, leisure, the National Education Plan - PNE (2014-2024) and the National Common Curricular Base - BNCC, seeking to reflect on the spaces of action, in this historical moment, considering the urgencies resulting from changes in work organization, in economics and politics, in Brazil. Dualistic education favors the training of students from the least impoverished strata and doesn’t favour the education for leisure at school and beyond, for students of the working-class students. The workers are not educated for leisure or to claim social participation in leisure programs. Methodology: The dialectical historical materialism was used to understand the dialectic of the real and of the social reality, through praxis. It were used bibliographic review and documentary analysis as methodological procedures. Results: The results show the advance of neoliberal policies, with the disruption of work that impacts all society. Final considerations: The goals and strategies of the PNE are lost in the BNCC, but can be approached from the Critical Historical Pedagogy, as a not reproductive critical educational theory, corroborating the necessary transformation process, of the current social organization, to make education and leisure of critical possible for the working class.
