Abstract

This manuscript aims to elucidate the theoretical assumptions that demonstrate the importance of educational work in the school context, in light of the struggle between worldviews within the current Brazilian socio-historical landscape. This context is characterized by the prevalence of the neoliberal ideology as a hegemonic force, compounded by the rise of neoconservatism. Through theoretical-bibliographical research, a critical analysis of this scenario was conducted and, consequently, to problematize the relationship between worldview and educational work in schools, the foundations of historical-critical pedagogy were employed. It is observed that the unity of neoliberalism and neoconservatism, as exemplified by phenomena such as denialism, fosters an incoherent (naive) worldview that tends to be, in turn, subjectivist, relativist, and skeptic. In contrast, this study proposes the necessity of confronting this scenario through the lens of historical-critical pedagogy, aiming at the formation and/or transformation of the worldview via educational work in school education, in favor of a critical worldview.
