Abstract

The predominance of the absence of symbolic language in the current context, including, regarding the understanding of man himself, affects the invisibility of the educational function of the myth. Given this hypothesis, this article aims to understand, in the context of the Pedagogy Degree course at the Faculty of Education of the University of the State of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte University Campus (FaE / UEMG-CBH), the place that the myth occupies in the teaching and learning process of elementary years. It is anchored in classical theorists of Philosophy and Education, such as Félix Guattari, Friedrich Hegel, Gilles Deleuze, Paulo Freire and Plato, as well as in contemporary mythologists, such as Joseph Campbell, Mircea Eliade and Carl Jung, in an attempt to understand the myth as essential to the awakening of human consciousness. The bibliographic review and field research were the methodological instruments adopted. Among the results, we found that the subjects' speeches about the relationship between myth and education, as well as their conceptions, do not translate into the answers of these same subjects regarding the effective configuration of the myth in school years.
