Abstract:
This study presents considerations concerning the concept of non-school education (NSE) and, based on them, establishes critical contributions to the debate related to the recognition and to the strengthening of educational practices inserted in this scope, under the understanding of Pedagogy as an Educational Science able to print pedagogical senses in these processes. Admitting the existence of intrinsic formative dimensions in different relationships and social processes influenced by a new contemporary educational rationale, we discuss the perspective of pedagogical society and lifelong learning, the place of the NSE in relation to the descriptive categories of educational phenomenon and the aspects that constitute it as a pedagogical practice founded by the praxis of Pedagogy.
