TRADICIONAL VERSUS SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE?

IN DEFENSE OF AN EDUCATION THAT CONNECT THE KNOWLEDGE

Abstract

In this article, we discuss about the tradicional communities, culturally differentiated groups, that have their own forms of social organizations, they occupy and use territories and natural resources at their cultural, social and economic reproduction, and use knowledges and practices acquired by the tradition. We are based on studies produced by researchers that understand the scientific and tradicional knowledge as having common origins: the human capacity of observing and building ways of interpret the world. We defend theneed of an inclusive resume that allows knowledge exchanges between these communities and the educational institutions. We emphasize the urgency of the occurrence of these interlocutions at the institutions that graduate for the labour world, considering the need of employes that have knowledge for beyond the market needs.
