A COMUNIDADE INVESTIGATIVA DE LIPMAN E OS DESAFIOS DO ENSINO DE FILOSOFIA NO 6° ANO DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL NA ESCOLA MUNICIPAL CORAÇÃO DE JESUS EM CAJARI-MA

Abstract

Matthew Lipman was an American philosopher and educator recognized for developing the Philosophy for Children program, creating the Community of Inquiry methodology, in which students, through group dialogues and debates, explore philosophical questions, learning to argue and construct knowledge collaboratively. The objective of this work is to explore how Lipman's Community of Inquiry can develop critical and reflective thinking in sixth-grade students, promoting cooperative learning, connecting philosophy with other disciplines, and making philosophical teaching more accessible and engaging. Thus, the adopted process involves the development and implementation of a teaching sequence based on the premises of Lipman's Community of Inquiry. It is concluded that philosophy teaching, inspired by Matthew Lipman's principles, opens pathways for students to explore moral, ethical, and social issues cooperatively and comprehensively, through practical exercises and guided discussions.
