The renaissance of education a return to classical education?

Abstract

It is a fact that education presents a mismatch not only in Brazil, but all over the world. What is currently perceived are disinterested and aggressive students along with teachers who are unmotivated with the teaching-learning process and many of these are unprepared to deal with educational issues and the profile of students. Classical education used as a teaching tool in the Middle Ages, based on the trivium and quadrivium, represented an important step towards the formation of great technologists, scientists, geniuses and polymaths. The eloquence of the Liberal Arts in the teaching-learning process ensured the learning of complex sciences mainly due to the presence of language and grammar in all levels of teaching. In the quest to reverse the current scenario, researchers and those responsible for education have sought numerous proposals for the teaching-learning process to become more effective, avoiding the formation of so-called “functional illiterates”. Some researchers in the area of ​​education have sought to understand the classical education of the “liberal arts” to return to the ideas and way of teaching. In history, the use of the trivium and quadrivium as teaching models were used satisfactorily, with significant results. In view of the gaps that are present in modern education, this study intends to revisit the classical education model and envision a rebirth of education. The study was carried out using the literature review method. Through the search in scientific databases, which aims to gather scientific knowledge, previously produced on the subject investigated.
