Currículo e controle do trabalho docente : o sistema de monitoramento de conteúdo em Pernambuco

Abstract

This dissertation entitled "Curriculum and control of teachers' work: The system of monitoring of contents in Pernambuco‖ has as main objective to analyze the computerized system adopted by the Department of Education of the State called System Monitoring Component Curriculum (SMC), highlighting implications about contents taught by teachers in the areas of Portuguese Language and Mathematics. As a methodological strategy, it was decided to carry out a case study of a qualitative nature, having as locus a school of State Education of Pernambuco . The subjects of research are seven teachers / the areas of Portuguese Language and Mathematics, the support teacher and school principal. The data collection took place from observation, interview, semi-structure and analysis of official documents provided by the Education Department of the State of Pernambuco. We use the concept of governmentality, supported by the theoretical contributions of Michel Foucault (2008a, 2008b), to review the curriculum as a political strategy that proposes to guide, train and direct the conduct teacher to enhance government control over their work. The results of this research suggest an intensification of control over their actions planning and development of teachers‘ cburriculum, an overvaluation of curricular disciplines of Portuguese Language and Mathematics and an excessive concern for / with the teachers' performance / the students / the in external evaluations, implying a significant reduction in its curriculum and teacher autonomy.
