Mediação

: dialéctica reflexiva entre a prática e a teoria em contextos educativos

Abstract

The reflective and theoretically grounded report presented comes from a evocation and a reflection on the experiences occurred in educational and social contexts. The main objective was to combine these practical experiences into a theoretical thesis along with the complex issue of mediation. We chose to structure our work on conceptual thoughts of Jean-François Six, through four types of mediation: healing, creative, renovating and preventive. A reflective analysis was thus focused on the perspective integrating the several types of mediation, previously mentioned related to practice, equally quoting the multi-featured and ambiguous situations that the quotidian wealth has brought us. Consequently, it became appropriate to establish comparisons between the several evocations, linking the concept of mediation, evoking progressive new ideas about the issue and about its role on educative organizations that might play an important function in the future. It was also our concern to come up with an affinity between the social pedagogy science and mediation when it comes to the object in study, the scientific tools and ordinary strategies, particularly when it´s possible to share knowledge and professional accomplishments in social and educative práxis, under the daily unpredictability, in the path of solidarity, responsibility and civility, in the construction and renovation of social bonds among people and groups, in the most diverse contexts and circumstances.
