ABSTRACT
The theme of autonomy has been present since the beginnings of education. In today’s society, student’s autonomy in school practices can determine the political and social participation of young people. This study seeks to problematize autonomy and tutelage in formal education from an integrative review of scientific literature. The proposal implies contextualizing these concepts, tracing a historical scenario from which educational practices that relate to autonomy and tutelage are delineated. The work includes the analysis of eleven scientific articles published in the Portal Periódicos Capes database between 2000 and 2019. The results point to three axes: the construction of the concepts of autonomy and tutelage from a historical and philosophical trajectory; critical analysis of society based on political guidelines; and, finally, the relationship between the political character of autonomy and tutelage and the educational practices that emerge from everyday school life.
