SUMMARY:

This research investigates the concept of self-actualization and its application in the multicultural classroom, analyzing the role of philosophy in the construction of knowledge with children and adolescents in upper elementary school (Ensino Fundamental II). The study is grounded in the works of thinker, writer, and professor bell hooks: Teaching to Transgress, Teaching Community and Teaching Critical Thinking. Drawing from the Engaged Pedagogy proposed by hooks, the research reflects on the role of each individual in the classroom and how learning develops both collaboratively and individually. In addition to relating engaged pedagogy to philosophical education, the study explores the feasibility of cultivating critical consciousness within the school context— guiding learners as political and social beings. It also addresses the multicultural classroom and the educational demands that challenge teachers in their professional practice, connecting the concepts of engaged pedagogy, self-actualization, and multiculturalism. The research acknowledges that the educational process relies on an active community, where teachers and students collaborate in the co-construction of knowledge and thought. Using autobiographical writing as a methodology, in dialogue with hooks, this work offers a reflection—based on the formation process of a philosophy teacher—on the challenges of a Eurocentric philosophy curriculum. As a practical outcome, it proposes the development of a Laboratory of Philosophical Investigations, in which an anti-racist and decolonial curriculum becomes a tool for a counter-hegemonic philosophy education.
