Abstract

In this text, the main elements of a proposal for reading in relation to pedagogical processes that are not within the frameworks of the neoliberal capitalist Education are presented and reflected. To this proposal on the reading process, projects alternatives activities have termed it: “the paradigm of Education subjects”. It is a paradigm that offers a conceptual framework from theoretical practices, experience and reflections of the actors that need to be considered in the construction of educational knowledge.

Thus, to characterize this paradigm, the following fundamental elements that allowed the thinking about the subject were taken into account: being actors of their own history, being beings for oneself, the appropriation and recognition of their bodies and taking responsibility for themselves and have a stand, the enhancement of one’s own language.
