MARTINS, Ernesto Candeias. The (De) construction of educational knowledge in the theory of the education. Rev. Lusófona de Educação [online]. 2011, n.17, pp.49-64. ISSN 1645-7250.

The article inserts within the sphere of the theory of the education, understood this in the epistemological level (what kind of knowledge is the ‘ educational knowledge’), as a materialist theory in the educational relation (educator/educating) as a theory of the educational technology (‘ to know to do ‘) and hypertextual in the formal and non formal educational forms of the information transmission (‘ systemic ‘ theory). This is a reflection on the dynamic from the universe of education (educational practices, educational institutions, facts, reality, etc.), on the educational theory (concepts, discourses, sciences, systematization of knowledge, etc.) which includes conceptual knowledge of other educational sectors (non formal, informal education), that are peripheral or bordering to the educational universe. The author argues the rationality supported in the theory of the education, since questioning ‘educational knowledge ‘ is an essential issue in any theory. This objective, which is not trivial, approaches the way we explain or narrate educational phenomenon/phenomena. This is a proposal that makes us embroiled in the ways of epistemology and/or the basis of educational knowledge (rationality) and of the conceptions on the theory of education

Keywords : educational knowledge; pedagogical knowledge; rationality; theory of education; educational epistemology.
