A critical analysis of the contemporary pedagogical ideas in the light of A. N. Leontiev's theory

This article aims to demonstrate the extent of the "pedagogies of learning to learn" (DUARTE, 2001), since they support the current educational proposals nationally and internationally, and also present their main assumptions, which keep their membership to pragmatism and irrationalism, and in the limit, submit human development to the order of the capital. These propositions go against the goal of humanizing education's assumption in the theoretical production of the Soviet psychologist Alexis Leontiev. As a result, we concluded that, from these productions it is possible to extract subsidies to face the process of empting the school education and the teacher's role engendered by these pedagogies. Moreover, it is intended to highlight the impossibility of the approaches between historical-cultural psychology productions with other pedagogical currents aimed at the legitimacy and the reinvigoration of the capitalist society.
