The article aims to explain Schopenhauer's impact on Nietzsche as a style of master/teacher, incorporating the singularity as the crucial thing that education should promote. To contemplate this task and update the reflection for our time and context, it is necessary to fight the tension between the demands of educational institutions and the power of a master/teacher in the practice of his acting, in order to seek in each student what he has of genuine and original. This is an essay with a qualitative approach that reflects the formative trajectory of Nietzsche himself, capable of promoting his extemporaneous condition and facing the culture of his time. For this, a master is needed, preferably, as Nietzsche indicates, the bearer of admirable serenity, full of a strong and devouring fire to be able to promote the singularity of his student.

The teacher's action is decisive for the educational work in childhood, therefore, this study aims to discuss the relationship between the teacher and the elaborated culture, as well as the influence of knowledge in the pedagogical relationship with children from 0 to 5 years old. The human development occurs through a cultural-historical process and the acquisition of knowledge occurs through the interaction of the subject with the environment and with others, reinforcing the need for teacher training as an element for the qualification of the educational work. The methodology used was bibliographic research based on Historical and Dialectical Materialism. The results indicate that Early Childhood Education as a space of systematized knowledge has the purpose of promoting the development of the child through proposals intentionally organized by the teacher. This research, therefore, corroborates the reiteration that teaching is the guiding axis for the development of the maximum human potentialities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The relevance of pedagogical theories is the main discussion in this text's ambit, which has as it's general objective to analyze the theories of pedagogy, either conservative and progressive, lightened by Saviani's (1999) thinking, which criticized Bourdieu and Passeron (1970) in its school theory as reproduction and Althusser (1980) by its structuralist reading of education as an ideology. These configure themselves as learning assumptions that focused in the Brazilian scholar practice. It becomes necessary to stress that the concept of pedagogical theories brought, expressly, a comprehension of the education and its school practice. In this context, the present philosophical investigation is justified, which figures itself inside the Philosophy of Education's ambit as a fundament. The development is based on bibliographical materials, websites and scientific articles, Inter alia, through methodological tools that concentrate on a qualitative approach, of deductive method and interpretive character. The theorical-methodological piece of Mikhail Bakhtin (1981) about the already-mentioned and the voices of the texts constitute itself to a necessary methodology for the development in the discourse's analysis of the authors mentioned above. Results displayed, the pedagogical theory of Savani (1999) is demonstrated to be present in the Brazilian school practice. Therefore, the question that is established is the following: how do conservative and progressive pedagogical theories coexist, and are these theories historical critics developed by the teachers in the school setting?

Biesta raises questions about the relationship between thinking and education. He wonders whether there are dimensions of education that cannot occur through the advancement of thought alone. In this paper I consider this prospect in relation to the community of philosophical enquiry and also take up Biesta's comment about liking gardens in schools. This is not in order to assert a particular analogy between gardens and gardening and the school and teaching, but rather to explore the possibility of there being practical resemblances between the existence of a garden and the human activity of gardening, and how a school should exist and the kinds of activities taking place in schools. By the close of this short paper I will have opened for further discussion the possibility that there may be some resemblances between what teachers and gardeners need to do, for example the attentiveness to uniqueness as well as creative forces outside human control. I show there is already an awareness of these concerns present in Ann Sharp's writing and close by discussing the implications for this in terms of the role of the teacher in the community of philosophical inquiry.

Burnout Syndrome is a reaction to chronic emotional tension which happens especially to healthcare and educational professionals, including teachers and nurses. This qualitative study aimed at: a) investigating signs suggestive of Burnout Syndrome among teachers working in elementary public schools in a town in southern Brazil; b) based on the results, to reflect on nursing work. The empirical data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 teachers. The results were grouped into three categories representing Burnout Syndrome dimensions referred to in the literature: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low professional satisfaction. The study draws attention to the link between the education and nursing fields with regard to the characteristics of the contexts where the work of these professionals is carried out. We highlight the contribution of qualitative methodology in facilitating the observation of each of the categories, and the need for effective actions to deal with the conditions which lead to the development of Burnout Syndrome.
