Abstract

The present paper deals with a brief discussion on the pedagogical practices at school place and their relationship with theory. Indeed, we often witness a distance between observing and acting – a large gap between theory and practice – evinced by the growing resistance of teachers and professors to theory and their excessive attachment to daily practice, naturalized and so-called “experience”. That means resistence to catch the acquainted real in its complexity and the neglection of a necessary link between historical contingence and the coherent speech based on ethical action.
