This study aims to understand and deepen the reflection on the ethical dimension in teacher education and performance, emphasizing its importance for the development of a pedagogical praxis in favor of dialogical relationships. Faced with a pedagogical context marked by the conceptions present in contemporaneity that are guided by the condition that students are not seen as subjects of their own history and by the scientific development that privileges doing over thinking, we listed as main questions: what are the actions Could they help teachers to rethink their pedagogical practice, working so that human education becomes the essential aspect? Through a qualitative bibliographic research, based on authors such as Severino, A. J. (2011, 2010), Saviani (2015, 2016), Goergen (2011), Carvalho (2013, 2015, 2016), among others, we will seek to affirm the importance of alterity and presence in the relationship between teachers and students for a humanizing and emancipating education. We consider that every pedagogical action, from its origin and purposes, objectives and goals, has a close relationship with the Ethical Dimension and, therefore, they are ethical processes that, when carried out in the school institution, are committed to elevating the student from his condition as an individual in search of its humanization and emancipation.

The Training and the Praxis of the teacher from the Materialist Dialectic, the Cultural Historical Theory and the Critical Historical Pedagogy is the title of this dossier, which proposes to analyze contemporary themes that deal with a critical look at society, education and human training, in order to resume the contributions about dialectical thinking. It intends to discuss the formative processes that involve the school as a social institution responsible for socializing the knowledge produced by humanity, aiming at a quality education that can reverberate in the development of critical thinking of the subjects involved in the process about the objective reality. The texts are based on the Critical-Historical Pedagogy and the Cultural-Historical Theory, and mark their position by pointing out that the enrichment of human existence in its omnilateralism is a process of active and conscious appropriation, by the individual, of the cultural resources present in the environment and the value of interaction between student and student, student and teacher.

In this text we will reflect on the emotional pain of university professors and their possible connections with the training processes, presupposing that they have the potential to signal the recovery of the idea of human nature and can contribute to the process of reconfiguring these pains. The support of our reflections comes from Antonio Damásio's neuroscientific investigations to whom the relations between the feelings of pain and pleasure influence the human cultural process. It also collaborates with our thinking Baruch Espinosa whose ideas underpinned those of Damásio's neuroscience when he affirmed that human beings affect each other and through this meeting they can recognize themselves and increase their power to act. In order to carry out the reflections proposed here, we used the hermeneutics of the tragedy "As Bacantes" by Euripides (406 BC) whose metaphorical potential helps us to understand the difficulties imposed by a rationality proclaimed as the only possible one. The reflective analyses, evidenced in this text, lead us to glimpse the need for other teaching knowledge that perceive the experience in a sensitive and humanized way. They contribute to the understanding of aspects that should go beyond the current ones and broaden the vision about professional training. Even in view of the detail and scope of the proposals currents for categorizing the teaching knowledge necessary for professionalization, this shortage regarding the teachers' emotional pain persists.

In this article we present and discuss the value of the ethical dimension present as articulator in the organization of pedagogical work. Whereas Ethics is disfigured by the events and understandings of today's society, in which teachers hide behind masks as proletarians of unnecessary knowledge and useless to capital, analyze the ethical dimension and its importance for the process and educational practice presents itself as an appreciation of the human being and all its manifestations. Understanding the School as a space for interactions, the curriculum becomes a cultural artifact for the teacher to achieve his goal with a humanizing education that aims at the emancipation of the human being.
