Neoliberalismo, política educacional e politecnia: tensões, contradições e possibilidades decorrentes do Decreto n. 5154/04

Abstract

The main problem of this work is to verify if the school integration provided by Decree number 5.154/04 may be managed, even under the limits of capitalism, in a way that contributes to the achievement of an educational concept aimed at the polytechnic, with reference to the Brazilian educational legislation, with regard to secondary and technical education after the promulgation of the Educational Law number 9394/96 and, with the main focus of analysis of the provisions of Decree number 5.154/04 and circumstances that may contribute for it to provide the path above. The work aims at analyzing not only the precariousness and the limitation, but also the possibilities of the decree as an alternative way to build another educational concept with a view to overcome the force of neoliberal model. The starting point is the assumption that a theoretical-methodological, epistemological and ethical fundament grounded in the omnilateral training and / or polytechnic that significantly achieves the teachers forums in high school and technical school give support for the Decree 5.154/04 itself to constitute a possibility of overcoming the educational concept of neo-liberal tinge. However, understanding that is not something that can occur spontaneously. We have to understand that the possibility of this way implies intentionality and a dispute over a project that is also social. One concern is revealed repeatedly throughout the work: what should be done? Given the opacity of the time in reducing the oxygen of our hopes in order to exhaust the possibility of conceiving a sociability that, unlike this, has the man as the center, how should we act? And especially, how can we propose an action that does not seem histrionic, disconnected from current conditions of time and space? To the optimism of the will, even against the pessimism of the reason we add Gramsci's thought and poetry in the utopian expectation of becoming the most tangible dimension of transcendence in order to remember that man can be greater than the vexed role given to him by the dominant system. With the intention to dialogue with the experiences that take place in "ground school", we conducted an intentional search field and through empirical data collected from directors and teachers from institutions of the federal network of technologic education three units of the federation we compare the information obtained with the main arguments presented in the study.
