RESUMO:

This thesis aimed to identify in the texts and works of the Russian revolutionary Léon Trotsky (1879-1940) his possible contributions to the field of Education and, in particular, to the debate on the possibilities of socialist education. For this purpose, we intend to build a theoretical position in this field, based on his writings and elaborations. Our starting question was: what theoretical contributions to the field of education can be extracted from León Trotsky's works and writings? As a result of this question, we constructed the following questions: a) In which works, in what context, in what way, with which categories and in what relationships does León Trotsky approach the issue of Education? b) What is León Trotsky's theoretical position on the construction of socialist education? c) Based on your writings on education, is it possible to extract theoretical elements to support the construction of an educational theory? To answer these questions, we selected works written and published in the period 1917-1923, the height of the process of consolidation and maintenance of Soviet power. In this sense, in the selected period, we identified the presence of our object of study in the following material produced by the author: Terrorism and communism (1920); Military knowledge and Marxism (1921); Military writings (1921); Reflections on the party (1923); Questions of the way of life (1923); the texts Como empezar (1923), Contra la bureaucracy, progresista y no progresista (1923), present in Problems of daily life; the texts Work: the Basis of Life (1920), “Thou” and “You” in the Red Army (1922), Alas, we are not accurate enought! (1921), The Red Army, seedbe of enligtenment (1923), Tasks of Communist Education (1923), Big and Small (1923), Sciense in the task of socialist construction (1923), belonging to Problems of Everedy Life (Spanish editions) English for Way of Life Issues); and Literature and revolution (1923). Based on his works, we identified three movements or general relationships in which León Trotsky addressed the issue of education, each one of them, we constitute a category of analysis that expresses the chapters of this thesis, in which we develop the analysis of his thought and the context in which it is inserted. Thus, we built three chapters: 1. Education and War; 2. Education and way of life; 3. Education, Art, Culture and Socialism. We conclude that León Trotsky has theoretical contributions to the field of education. That he addresses the issue of education according to the tasks required at each stage of the class struggle and the social historical development of the Russian revolution ?; that before the working class takes political power, the main task of the revolutionaries is to carry out the political education of the class, which means to orient it towards a socialist revolution; that after the working class takes political power, that is, in the transition period, the tasks of education change and start to be ordered, at first, around the physical defense of the dictatorship of the proletariat, which requires an education specialized military; in a second step, the work of economic, cultural and lifestyle reconstruction of the population, which requires a broader education, enriching the general culture and; in a third moment, after the previous phases of elementary material and cultural deficiencies, education may assume a higher level of cultural and artistic development in the formation of a “new man” of a socialist type. Based on the reading of his writings, we interpret that for León Trotsky socialist education is not possible within a capitalist society, that the education necessary for the present moment, in a society divided into social classes with antagonistic material interests, whose class of capitalists exploit the workforce of the other classes, it is a revolutionary type of education.
