Da crise na educação ao impasse na formação continuada de professores

Abstract

This highly bibliographical study is linked to the research line on Culture and Educational Processes in the Post-graduate Educational Program at FE-UFG. It questions the impasse generated in the ongoing formation of teachers, in which the guidelines are established by international organizations submissive to the liberal ideology. These guidelines had their origin in the operational changes of capitalism, and now respond to the demands of the theory of human capital both in what qualifies the teacher as worker, belonging to a working class, as well as the demand that the latter form his successors for the labor market. From the moment that education came to be considered an indispensable instrument in market expansion, its basis of political emancipation and personal expansion disappeared. To educate no longer means leading younger people to understand the laws of the world. According to the capitalist model, initial school education has to do with offering basic competencies which, throughout life, permit the subject to pursue his/her permanent formation which, in its turn, will allow him/her assimilate the latest knowledge and techniques demanded by the market. Caught up in the Capitalist Discourse, the teacher avoids acting subjectively as an adult responsible for the transition of young people to this world, because the founding rules of subjectivity are hidden under the false testimony that there is no law. However, linguistic laws are not subject to disguise and demand the interdiction of pleasure. This creates an impasse in the subject who hears the technoscientific discourse declare that there are no limits and therefore access to pleasure is free, but is faced with his/her own castration since s/he is unavoidably submitted to language
