CURRICULUM PERSPECTIVES ABOUT PEDAGOGUE TRAINING FOR NON-SCHOOL EDUCATION

ABSTRACT: This paper presents reflections derived from a curriculum study guided by the goal of mapping demonstrative elements of the current framework of pedagogue training for professional performance in contexts of Non-School Education (NSE). The curriculum study covered Pedagogical Projects of Pedagogy Courses from 20 brazilian public universities and analytical procedures were structured by the use of categorial content analysis technique. Underlying framework in the analysis is based on the discussion of the epistemological character of Pedagogy, as well as the critical approach around curricular perspectives that constitute Pedagogy course’s traditions in Brazil. From analytical results, it is recognized the little expressiveness of specific knowledge relating to the NSE in Pedagogy courses’ curricular settings and, as a result, the challenges of structuring formation routes that are associated with the demands of new employability spaces for pedagogues.
