A produção de sentidos sobre itinerários formativos na reforma do ensino médio

Abstract

This paper is part of the discussions about the High School Reform stablished by the Law nº 13.415/ 17. It strictly analyzes the production of meanings on the formative itineraries, which makes up 40% of the curriculum in the new legislation, contextualizing them in the impositions of economic neoliberalism. The research started from the main topics: What meanings are in dispute about the formative itineraries in a context of precarious work relationships? How is the correlation between the forces of the capitalist state and the working class in the formation of young Brazilian people integrated in the flexibility of the curriculum? Can the individual choice by the students’ formative process in the “new” high school be made effective or will it be defined by the offer? What facts we can take into consideration with the idea that the student is free to choose the formative itinerary? We established as goals of this research: to understand the formative itineraries from the analysis of the Reform of the High School as educational policy that is linked to the formation for the simple and flexible work in the frameworks of the neoliberalism; discuss the relationship between formative itineraries and neoliberal ideology; to collect and analyze documents produced in the context of the approval of the high school reform that express the voices of subjects that dispute educational policies for high school, in particular, the formative itineraries. The theoretical and methodological content of the research is based on the perspective of Karl Marx’s historical dialectical materialism, in dialogue with other authors who contribute to the study of the relationship of forces between State, society, money, education and work. As a methodological procedure, bibliographic and documentary sources were used. We conclude that the formative itineraries, imposed by the reform, reiterate the capitalist state’s; scorporate project for the formation of simple and unregulated labor rights for young people from the working class.
