Reflexões sobre direito ao ensino domiciliar

Abstract

The official education in traditional Brazilian establishments has been the target of criticism regarding its quality and scope. Therefore, homeschooling is a viable alternative and inserted in the constitutional right of freedom. Due to the absence of specific legislation, the families that adopt it have been considered outside the law. Thus, the present investigation aims to study different scientific views of researchers on Education and Law about homeschooling. The methodology that will guide these initial reflections is based on the bibliographic study of research articles indexed in SciELO and books by renowned authors such as Philippe Ariès; Diniz & Guilhem; Serodio, Kopelman, & Bataglia, among others. The results obtained so far by the aforementioned research show that there is a range of divergent positions, insofar as the lack of regulation of home education affronts the rights of freedom and the pluralism of ideas and pedagogical concepts provided for in the current Constitution, which does not expressly prohibit this type of teaching. It is opportune to conclude that it is necessary to investigate homeschooling in the light of these reflections, in order to find a result that addresses its impact on the development and socialization of children and adolescents.
