O pensamento complexo de Edgar Morin como aporte epistemológico na formação docente

Abstract

This article presents the main results of the studies developed by the research group PEFOP (Educational Paradigms for Teacher Education) in the light of the assumptions of Edgar Morin’s Complexity focused on teacher education. It was adopted as a research problem: How can we insert the constructs of the seven knowledges, specifically the knowledge of uncertainty as an epistemological basis for the teaching pedagogical practice, contributing to the challenges imposed to education in contemporary times? The objective was defined: to identify the contributions / constructs of the teachers participating in the online teacher training course on Morin’s seven knowledges (2000), focusing on the fifth knowing teaching how to face uncertainties, as a way of building a pedagogical practice that meets the demands of contemporary education. It is a qualitative research, an action research type. For the collection of data, via netnography, the productions of the participants of an online course about the work “The Seven Knowledge Necessary for the Education of the Future”, by Edgar Morin, with emphasis on the fifth knowledgefacing uncertainty, were used. Among the main results is the recognition of the need to overcome the idea of certainty built from classical science and the reflexive reconstruction of pedagogical practice.
