DIFFICULT RELATIONSHIPS: CRITICAL PEDAGOGIES AND CURRICULUM

This paper reviews the proposals of the 'critical pedagogies' and presents current public policies in Latin America. Distances between discourses and practices, absence of radically democratic educational policies, lack of awareness of critical pedagogies by teachers, lack of contextual production and indiscriminate use of the word critical-that ends up opposing everything that is considered as traditional pedagogy-makes against the dominant power relationships through counter-hegemonic and destabilizing practices in education.
