Abstract

The general objective of this article was to articulate discussions during the discipline “Introduction to the Historical and Dialectical Materialism” organized by the Graduate Program in Education of the Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa, in the first half of 2021, with aspects related to the research developed in the Master’s level. The specific objectives were: to discuss the fundamentals of the method of the Historical-Dialectical Materialism, to discuss on issues related to the “work” category and present data related to the effectiveness of the extra-class activity in the microregion of Irati, Paraná (PR), Brazil. A bibliographic investigation was carried out based on texts studied in the classes, and the data obtained for broader research on the fulfillment of the extra-class activity of the Irati-PR microregion, collected through semi-structured interviews, were analyzed. Through the theoretical discussions and data obtained, it was concluded: a) historical-dialectical materialism is a method developed by Marx and its application does not occur through rules to be followed; b) the use of dialectical-historical materialism requires a researcher’s attitude and knowledge of the Marxian theory and method; c) the discussion of the content category “work” is of fundamental importance, considering that it is the founding category of the social being; d) the realities studied do not provide appropriate teaching conditions, as regards compliance with the extra-class activity as set out in legislation.

Keywords: Historical-dialectical materialism. Work. Teacher valorization.
