Formação inicial de juízes no Brasil: uma análise das concepções educacionais

This study analyzes the influence of educational concepts on the initial training course for magistrates, from the perspective of the historical process of this course in Brazil. As a research problem, we sought to investigate how schools prepare judges for entry into the career, examining the manifestation of educational concepts in the initial training course. The research adopted a historical-dialectical materialism approach, with a qualitative focus, of the case study type, using bibliographic and documentary research and semi-structured interviews. The categories of analysis were developed according to Bardin (2016) and interpreted with support from the categories of contradiction, mediation, and totality, according to Cury (1995) and Kuenzer (2005). The research findings highlighted the contradictory nature that school education can take on. While, from a certain perspective, it may restrict the development of certain human potentialities, it may, as a whole, favor the construction of more elaborate knowledge.
