The text proposes an approach to the concepts of education, learning and teaching from the design of the school. The analysis is located in the area of "pedagogical sciences", and from the "concept of pedagogy" it provides an approach that goes beyond criticism to learning, developing forms of active resistance and imaginative commitment. There are three central elements in this exercise: first, to understand pedagogy from the figure of the pedagogue; second, to understand the school as a particular type of time and in a particular way to meet the existential, anthropological and social challenge; and third, to understand the pedagogical sciences as (experimental) design sciencies of the school.
