Abstract

Paulo Freire's works contribute significantly to education, and his pedagogy stands out for being an instrument of criticality. However, some criticisms fall on the author, especially with regard to the quality of Brazilian education. Thus, the aim of this research is to discuss the importance and contribution of Paulo Freire's pedagogy to education, with the opinion of teachers at the center of the debate. To achieve the objective, an interview was conducted with a group of teachers. We conclude that the readings on Paulo Freire aroused a teacher subject concerned with a more humanized education and centered on dialogue, as well as with the overthrow of the educational paradigm. In short, teachers began to identify themselves differently with the profession, so that being a teacher gained new meanings.
