MILITARY EDUCATION: HIERARCHY AND DISCIPLINE

Abstract

The present work is based on the analysis and presentation of arguments against and in favor of the school model of military and civic-military education in Brazilian public schools, demonstrating the legal interpretations existing in the divergences for the development and implementation of this teaching model, evidencing the articles of the Law of National Education Guidelines and Bases with the provisions in the Federal Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil, as well as its principles. Aiming to demystify the content, it demonstrates the bases of hierarchy and discipline, as well as the difficulties faced in the school environment, the foundations for the existence or not of the militarized school model, and ending, the conclusion that we are far from reaching a model ideal of education, there should be a plurality of models to be offered according to social concerns. To this end, an exploratory methodology was used to shed light on the conflicting points of academic and political debates on the subject.
