Assembleias escolares: a perspectiva de trabalhar assembleias em uma escola da Rede Jesuíta de Educação: Colégio Loyola

Abstract

This article aims to reflect on the practice of School Assemblies at a school within the Jesuit Education Network, Colégio Loyola, highlighting its implementation as a pedagogical strategy since 2012. Based on the Ignatian Pedagogy, the assemblies encourage students’ participation in the construction of democratic values and citizenship. The applied methodology includes document analysis and bibliographic review, emphasizing the importance of dialogue and participation in resolving school conflicts. This initiative seeks to strengthen the holistic development of students, addressing cognitive, emotional, and social aspects in alignment with the principles of the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC). The study shows that assemblies enhance socio-emotional skills such as mutual understanding, selfregulation, and responsibility, contributing to an inclusive and collaborative school environment. Despite the progress made, the article acknowledges challenges in consolidating and modernizing this pedagogical practice, suggesting the need for continuous improvement and alignment with contemporary educational guidelines.
