Learning autonomy, Educational practice, Democratic school.Abstract
This study investigated how educators in a democratic school understand learning autonomy, its conceptions and attributions and what the challenges of this educational practice, considered innovative to which is historically known as traditional teaching, are. To this end, interviews and questionnaires were applied with 12 educators from a private school in the North of Rio de Janeiro. The Thematic Analysis showed that educators consider autonomy as a protagonism that is strengthened in freedom of choice and responsibility. Teacher tutoring and family support were shown to be essential for reinforcing responsibilities and for the student's autonomous engagement in their individual learning projects. Among the challenges are the pressure from the traditional system, the lack of financial resources and teacher training. It was concluded that the promotion of autonomy in learning is intrinsically linked to responsible choices and a school context that respects the students' uniqueness. Thus, it’s suggested that the teaching practices should be oriented by dialogic pedagogical approaches that respect the autonomy of both teacher and student, aiming to contribute to the entire cognitive and emotional formation of the individual. The limitations of the study were also pointed out.
