SUMMARY:

This research has as its central theme the Laboratory of Education in Philosophy (LAFIL) of
the Federal University of São João del-Rei (UFSJ), with the objective of investigating the
possible contributions of this laboratory from the Extension Program “Community of
Philosophical Investigation” (CIF), in working with philosophy for and with children in the
early years of public schools in the city of São João del-Rei, Minas Gerais. The research theme
arises from the researcher's experience during five years as a volunteer at LAFIL. This
laboratory has as one of its objectives to think and study the possibilities of teaching philosophy
from the contributions of several thinkers, among them Matthew Lipman, who systematized
philosophy for children in the 1960s in the USA and Walter Kohan, who has worked with
philosophy with children in Brazil. The text is built from the analysis of documentary sources,
such as reports from the schools that received the Extension Program, feedbacks, projects and
the categorical analysis of the five interviews carried out with the coordinators and teachers of
the program's partner schools. Cellard (2008) helps us in the document analysis and Bardin
(1977) in the categorical analysis of the interviews. The work presented here is organized as
follows: 1) Presentation of the researcher, and the relationship between the university and
school trough the Extension, one of the pillars of the Brazilian public university. 2) LAFIL is
presented and along with it it’s theoretical and methodological assumptions. At this moment, it
is also discussed about the extension and its importance in the contribution of the formation of
qualified and sensitive professionals to the Brazilian reality; 3) the theoretical references that
support the dissertation are essential to discuss philosophy for and with children, especially in
the Brazilian scenario; 4) after the construction of a context-scenario, excerpts from the
interviews carried out with the coordinators and partner teachers of the program are presented.
The categorical analysis of these interviews evidences theory in practice and practice provokes
new possibilities of thinking about philosophy for and with children. In this way, we will focus
on comparing different perceptions of the same program. The steps that advance here aim to
explore ways to reflect on the possibilities of teaching philosophy in the early years, indicating
directions and possibilities, without the pretense of exhausting the journey.
