Read the text below and then answer the question that follows.
A careful analysis of the teacher-student relationship at any level, inside or outside the school, reveals its fundamentally narrative character. This relationship involves a narrating Subject (the teacher) and patient, listening objects (the students). The contents, whether values or empirical dimensions of reality, tend in the process of being narrated to become lifeless and petrified. Education is suffering from narration sickness.
The teacher talks about reality as if it were motionless, static, compartmentalized, and predictable. Or else he expounds on a topic completely alien to the existential experience of the students. His task is to “fill” the students with the contents of his narration—contents which are detached from reality, disconnected from the totality that engendered them and could give them significance. Words are emptied of their concreteness and become a hollow, alienated, and alienating verbosity.
The outstanding characteristic of this narrative education, then, is the sonority of words, not their transforming power. “Four times four is sixteen; the capital of Pará is Belém.” The student records, memorizes, and repeats these phrases without perceiving what four times four really means, or realizing the true significance of “capital” in the affirmation “the capital of Para is Belém,” that is, what Belém means for Pará and what Pará means for Brazil.

Comentário do professor
O autor critica a prática em que o professor transmite conteúdos como se fossem fatos isolados e prontos, e defende que a aprendizagem deve ser contextualizada e significativa.
Ele mostra que, quando o ensino reduz-se à "narration sickness", os alunos apenas memorizam enunciados sem compreender seu sentido prático e social. Exemplos como "Four times four is sixteen; the capital of Pará is Belém" ilustram a separação entre informação e significado.
Ao dizer que os conteúdos ficam "detached from reality" e que prevalece a "sonority of words", o autor defende que o saber precisa recuperar ligação com a experiência dos estudantes.
Portanto, a proposta valoriza atividades e explicações que integrem conceitos ao contexto, promovendo compreensão crítica, apropriação do conhecimento e capacidade de transformação da realidade.
