Abstract
Using a bibliographic analysis, this article seeks to discuss the role of school instruction in the conception of education by Anton Semionovich Makarenko (1888-1939), based on his experiences in the Gorki Colony (1920-1928) and the Comuna Dzerjinski (1927-1935), developed in the Soviet Union. The complexity of the post-Russian Revolution, tensioned his work. Initially, the link between education and students' work activity stands out in relation to school learning, even as a matter of survival in the destruction generated by the counterrevolutionary war. As the initial difficulties are overcome, school education begins to become important and starts to be used as an instrument to overcome peasant life, one of the objectives of the New Economic Policy - NEP (1920-1928). School instruction is linked to a concept of integral education, which tries to contemplate different spaces in which the students' lives can act.
