STRECK, Danilo R.. Education and Social Transformation Today: Some Political-Pedagogical Challenges. Rev. Lusófona de Educação [online]. 2009, n.13, pp.89-100. ISSN 1645-7250.

The article discusses possibilities and limits of a transforming pedagogy today. The reflection begins with an attempt to identify some characteristics of present day education. There are pointed out two facts that may be of particular importance for an exercise of synthesis: the so called crisis of utopias and the reconfiguration of spaces and temporalities of teaching and learning. Among the challenges, which at the same time can be considered the horizon, there are identified the following ones: The necessity to listen to the many voices of dissent, among them the silenced ones; b) the effort to transform the educational spaces, the new ones as well as the older ones, in a humanizing ethos; c) to assume the plurality of times as an opportunity the enlarge the vision and to make room in our life world for the diversity of experience.

Palavras-chave : Social transformation; post-modernity; utopia; dissent.
