• Abstract:

  The objective of this research is to understand what are the conceptions of education in the neoliberal context and how they contradict themselves with the formative philosophy in Hannah Arendt and Paulo Freire. We start from the conceptions of Santos; Ax; Alves and Vieira; Maciel; Araújo and Borges; Freire; and Souza. We are based on the qualitative approach André (2013); where semi-structured interviews (Ludke and André (2013) and Bardin (2011) were used for content analysis. The research results show that education is still captive to the perpetuation of an education focused on employability and mechanization of their educational practices, which is opposed to Arendt and Freire in terms of the concept of education based on dialogue and reflection.
