Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the Autonomia Program as a priority program for the correction of age-grade in state schools of Rio de Janeiro. It shows the history of policies to correct the school flow, with emphasis on accelerated learning classes. Also exposes the involvement of civil society organizations in the preparation of such acceleration programs. It situates the accelerated classes as one more different way of education in the universal access to public school process. In addition, it relates the expansion of the Brazilian public school to societal project ruled in dependent capitalism. This study presents data collected through semi-structured interviews with teachers who have worked in this program and a forming teacher of the Roberto Marinho Foundation, which owns the Metodologia Telessala. It also examines, from the statements, documents, and theoretical frameworks, the Metodologia Telessala and its intentions. At the end, it concludes that such learning acceleration program does not represent the interests of the working class; on the contrary, it brings in his ideas marks of the ideology of social capital.
