Epistemology, School, and Pedagogical Practice: Festschrift for Paulo Evaldo Fensterseifer

Abstract

This study addresses the contributions of Professor Paulo Evaldo Fensterseifer to the field of Latin American Physical Education. The text is structured around three main axes: epistemological activity, pedagogical practice, and Physical Education in the republican and democratic school. Although presented separately, these dimensions are interconnected, since the “thinking without a roof” advocated by Paulo underpins his analyses of the role of schools in a republican democracy, while also serving as a guiding thread for his reflection on powerful knowledge that can orient pedagogical practices in Physical Education classes.
