This paper aims to discuss the challenges of human development within the context of a globalized society, through the lens of Dermeval Saviani’s historicalcritical perspective. Globalization, characterized by economic, technological, and cultural transformations, has deeply influenced the educational field by promoting an instrumental view of learning focused on adapting individuals to the global market’s demands. In contrast, Saviani proposes an education model committed to the full development of the human being, where systematic knowledge and labor are understood as fundamental formative principles. This theoretical and analytical study is based on a literature review and conceptual analysis of Saviani’s ideas and other contemporary educational theorists. It concludes that the historical-critical perspective provides a pathway to resist the commodification of education, reaffirming the school’s role as a space for integral, critical, and emancipatory formation.
