The Conceptions of Freire and Papert Inside the City of São Paulo’s Curriculum and the Re-Signification of Constructionism in Pedagogical Practices

This article analyses how Rede Municipal de Ensino de São Paulo (“São Paulo’s Municipal Education Network”) incorporated and re-signified Papert’s constructionist theory and Freire’s humanizing pedagogy in its Technologies for Learning curricular proposal. Following a bibliographical and documental approach, it is identified that there is an enhancement in learning by the production of artifacts by students. The analysis also highlights teacher training as essential for the adoption of these concepts. The results point to the presence of constructive elements in the pedagogical practices in the network, showing the transformation of the curriculum’s theories into action and reorganizing the Digital Education laboratories following contemporary demands.
