A experiência estética na prática docente da educação básica

Abstract

This paper addresses the theme of aesthetic experience in teaching practice. The problem conductor of the investigation was: How do Basic Education teachers perceive the aesthetic experience in their practice? The objective was to characterize the aesthetic experiences performed by teachers in their pedagogical practices, in order to identify elements that generate the impoverishment of this experience in these practices. Based on data analysis and in the light of Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer theories, it is stated that the rediscovery of the place of aesthetic experience creates meanings and enhances teaching work, overcoming the reductionist tendency of instrumental rationality and disenchantment with the profession.
