Social Sciences - Philosophy
Spanish term or phrase: procedimentalismo
This text is a philosophical reflection on schools in shantytowns in Argentina

La puja por el saber que allí se transmite aparece ligada con la búsqueda de otra cosa: lejos del procedimentalismo que deja, muchas veces, a docentes y estudiantes sin mucho que hacer, los jóvenes rescatan y pelean por tener clases donde el saber ocupe un lugar clave.

and

Así, en las llamadas sociedades del conocimiento la pedagogía queda atrapada en una clara confusión entre información, conocimiento y conceptualización donde estos términos se vuelven sinónimos; proceso que nos ha dejado surfeando en el mar del procedimentalismo.

Thanks!

empty formalism


Explanation:
Para este lado se dirigió mi pensamiento, al ver la palabra 'procedimentalismo', en el contexto educativo. Intuía que 'empty formalism' era un buen equivalente; no llegué a sospechar, la tremenda difusión de esa frase en español. Tal vez debido al mismo Paulo Freire y su uso de 'formalism vazio'.

¡Al paredón con el autocorrector! Yo había escrito, antes de que la máquina me lo 'corrigiera': "Paulo Freire y su uso de 'formalismo vazio'."
