ILUMINISMO DE ROUSSEAU NO DESENVOLVIMENTO DA PEDAGOGIA MODERNA

Abstract

We can consider that Jean-Jacques Rousseau introduced revolutionary ideas in Pedagogy, especially with his advocacy for natural education, which at the time challenged traditional methods and sometimes even diverged from the Enlightenment movement, placing reason and sensitivity on the same level in the education of children. If we think about current educational theories, much of what Rousseau defended is still valid, especially the idea that the student is the most important element of the classroom and that the educator/teacher should adapt to the needs and learning rhythms of each student for their well-being and integral development.
