Neoliberalismo, Trabalho e Educação: considerações sobre a formação dos educadores da aprendizagem profissional

Abstract

The present study aims to understand the training proposal of the learning educators of the Youth and Work Center - CJT / RJ, in view of the current determinations of capitalism for workers in the context of the structural crisis of capital. The CJT / RJ is a non-profit institution that implements internship and professional apprenticeship programs. It was sought to understand the process of training (at work) of the professional of higher level hired to exercise the role of educator, considering that this training process is an institutional requisition and is provided in Ordinance No. 723/2012 that regulates the programs of learning in Brazil, fundamentally, establishing the general and curricular principles and guidelines for the training entities. Bibliographical research and documentary analysis methodology was used as methodology. In order to accomplish this goal, we have made a critical reading of the bibliography that deals with the theme and the materials elaborated to support the educator's training process (training manual, lesson plans, methodological notebooks, study scripts and field diary). The study was carried out taking as reference the historical and dialectical materialism, elaborated by Marx. In this way it is observed that the tendency to transform the labor force into a simple commodity intensifies in the context of crisis of reproduction of value. This happens, fundamentally, through techniques that produce effective forms of subordination of the workers to the needs of the process of capitalist accumulation. Through the analysis developed it is understood that the professional learning is a compensatory and mitigating strategy in front of the process of precariousness of the work and of the scenario of structural unemployment in global scale. In addition, educational processes seek to strengthen the links between education, school, work and production, a demand that has been placed by capital for educational processes. The principles and guidelines of professional learning are also directed at producing values, knowledge, skills and subjectivities that meet the demands of capital. We also perceive that the formation of professional learning educators of the CJT / RJ is marked by market logic. It aims to stimulate an educational practice based on the development of competences, and emphasizes that educators must assume the role of articulator between work, school and social life of young apprentices and mediate the learning process in order to meet the demands of the world of work, fundamentally linked to entrepreneurship.
