Pedagogic aestheticizing, active learning and curricular practices in Brazil

Abstract

This paper aims to make a mapping of how curricular practices in the Brazilian High School education have been conducted in the last ten years, seeking to observe them in a context of growing pedagogic aestheticizing and active learning in contemporary pedagogies. We will examine eight accounts of curricular practices self-entitled innovative and interactive, published in several Brazilian journals. As we decided for active methodologies of learning, associated to particular devices of interactivity, it seems that a pedagogical shape emerges in which the class is similar to a game of questions and answers, a quiz.
