EDUCAÇÃO DOMICILIAR NO BRASIL: RELAÇÕES COM O ENSINO RELIGIOSO

Abstract

Homeschooling - educating children under the supervision of parents rather than teachers - has grown steadily in recent decades. In the 18th and 19th centuries many children were homeschooled, but in the early 20th century schools became commonplace and states adopted compulsory school attendance laws. For some researchers and authors, homeschooling is an exception to the attendance requirement, and few of them only required educating their children, without specifying the means. This dissertation seeks to answer the following questions: how has home education been applied in Brazil? In seeking to highlight the main characteristics of home education and analyze the main aspects of home education in Brazil, it presents a bibliographic review, promoting an understanding of important aspects in the legal and educational development for renowned authors. It also demonstrates that homeschooling can be something positive in terms of the knowledge generated for students, but recognizes that in terms of their social development, relationships become limited only to the family environment, thus being able to generate impacts on the social development of students. Homeschooling is one of the ways to promote education that is gaining more and more relevance within the educational routine and societies.
