Teaching Philosophy of Praxis at Highschool from a Gramscian Conception.
The research addresses the teaching of Philosophy starting from common sense in search of common sense, a philosophy that starts from spontaneity, which is an uncritical common sense; where opinions appear without a critical elaboration, without reflection and that are automatically received by the individual. These are opinions run over by events and the absence of a unifying and organized bloc. Spontaneity and common sense are present in different ways in all social classes. The objective of this research is to develop critical reflection based on students' common sense, to allow their ideas, the student's point of view, their speech, what they think, what they agree with, etc., using this, to later, develop through philosophy, the criticisms, reflections, and interventions, so that they allow the student to develop a critical sense, a new thought, to constantly seek a philosophical attitude towards his reality and, thus, to improve more and more, a posture aware of the problems that surround them as a social subject, therefore, transforming the common sense received automatically, in search of common sense, a critical and more elaborated sense. For that, common sense will be analyzed first, starting from spontaneous thinking, as a resource in Philosophy classes. Critical and conscious elaboration is considered an important point within the philosophical learning process. For this, the constituent elements of common sense, elements of beliefs, and identifying the presence of conservative, mythical social models, stiffened by worldviews of a dominant elite, will be specified. In order to analyze how this domination occurs and the contribution of a philosophical attitude and reading to the creation of a critical and systematic sense, it is important to teach Philosophy in schools, especially in the public school system, where there is a scrap in the human development process of students from the periphery. In the first chapter, a brief account of the life of Antonio Gramsci will be discussed. In the second chapter, the question of common sense in Gramsci, philosophizing based on uncritical, unorganized common sense, with the aim of transforming that common sense into good sense, into critical, reflective, and organized opinions, in view of the emancipation of student. In the third chapter, we will bring the practice, with examples of classes produced from common sense. Philosophical practice in classes will be based on classes in conversation and exposure of students' thoughts on various issues. These consist of ample freedom for students to speak, write, draw or any other form that may be manifested, as well as the attentive participation of the teacher in the whole process, discussing, provoking, bringing social contexts, etc.
