Education, spirituality and active methodologies: a possible dialogue

the objective of this study was to verify the possibility of dialogue between education, spirituality, and active methodologies. To reach this goal, we sought to elucidate the three concepts by means of qualitative and bibliographic research, using authors from the educational literature and, finally, to trace possible dialogues. In the educational and intentional process, its purpose should be to help the learner to find and realize the meaning of life itself and the integrality of the human being, including the spiritual dimension. For this, the methodologies that permeate the pedagogical process can interfere in this realization, because the pedagogical task does not end in the cognitive acquisition, but also includes actions, the affective side, postures, and convictions, uniting educator and student.
