Educar pra valer ou adestrar pra valer? Discussões sobre o trabalho docente

Abstract

The following article presents a reflection on the Educate Pra Valer program in the interface with the teaching work developed in schools in the rural area of ​​Vitória da Conquista. In addition, the close relationship of the Common National Curricular Base, BNCC, with the referred program, as well as the presence of international organizations and the private sector, has grown in the Brazilian context. The research was elaborated with the dialectical method as a guideline. The methodological resource used in the field research, with a view to revealing the reality involved in the multiple determinations that involve the object, was the semi-structured interview. Finally, it was found from the analysis of the interview that, although the program, in terms of its proposal and application, disregards the principles of a democratic school since it works from the perspective of numbers and does not value what is most important in the education that it is the people who make up education, however, there seems to be a certain fascination with the ideology of the program. So, having arrived here, some questions arise, some questions need to be answered, first, what does it matter to implement this program in a public school? Second, why does there seem to be a certain fascination with the program's ideology, instead of realizing the inconsistencies that permeate it? And finally, does this program that appears in line with the BNCC aim to emancipate or alienate, educate or train? In this sense, this reflective exercise is important, considering the elaboration of a new critique of political economy in the interface with education.
