Pedagogia espírita: o olhar dos evangelizadores sobre a formação do ser humano integral.

Abstract

The present work has as objective to verify that the evangelizers think about the Spiritist Pedagogy for the education of children and adolescents, to find out what the Evangelizers think about the integral formation of the human being; to identify the methodologies used by the evangelizers in the classes of spiritist evangelization of children and youth. To base this research we use as theoretical base the contribution of the following authors: Vygotsky (1999); Wallon (1975; 2007), Piaget (1971; 1973; 1977), Allan Kardec (2003; 2004a; 2004b), Brazilian spiritualistic educators such as, Pires (2004); Alves (1997) and Incontri (2001-2004). Ten evangelizers from the three spiritist centers of the city of Cajazeiras / PB participated in this research. The methodological procedure used in this work was a field research. As a data collection tool, we used a sociodemographic questionnaire in order to know the profile of the research participants, the Free Word Association Test (TALP) and a semi-structured interview. We analyzed the data through the analysis of contentadded by Bauer (2002). Through the data collected with the evangelists we can understand that for these, the Spiritist Pedagogy for the education of children and adolescents is of great importance for the moral evolution of being. Even without showing much knowledge of the Spiritist Pedagogy, attributing to it the role of Spiritist catechism, the evangelizers showed concern to invest in the search for renewal in what concerns the dynamics and new methodologies so that the evangelizers can internalize the knowledge of the contents worked in the classes for the integral formation of these.
