Luciana, Marcus e demais colegas:

Essa observação e a idéia que perpassa o texto de BLIN (2002) têm me incomodado um pouco, já há alguns dias, porque não penso que a autonomia seja algo intrinsecamente vinculado à cultura ocidental e algo estranho à cultura oriental.

Penso que vale a pena contrastar trechos do texto de BLIN (2002) com o que escreve DICKINSON (1991, p.56, §1): "One of the strongest arguments against this view states that the fundamental ideas of autonomy are in fact shared by diverse cultures. Kirtikara (1997), for example, argues that traditional rural learning in Thailand was autonomous and that some of the most noted Thai scholars were largely self-educated. It was only with the introduction of western-style education in urban centers a century ago that the tradition of autonomous learning began to disappear. Similarly, Pierson (1996) has shown that ideas of autonomy and self-education have a strong tradition within Chinese scholarship (...). He points out that research has painted a picture of the typical Hong Kong learner as one who is 'passive', reticent and reluctant to openly challenge authority' (p.51). But these characteristics are, he argues, as much a product of the 'structure of the present colonial education system with its excessive workloads, centralized curricula, didactics and expository teaching styles, concentration on knowledge acquisition, examinations emphasizing reproductive knowledge over genuine thinking, overcrowded classrooms, and inadequately trained teachers' as they are a product of Chinese culture (p.55)." (DICKINSON, 1991, p.56-57).

Comentários, críticas e esclarecimentos serão bem-vindos!

José.
