Uma proposta metodológica para a análise das políticas de educação profissional: a análise de conjuntura e as disputas pelo bloco no poder do estado

Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to propose methodological alternatives for the analysis of public policies on vocational education, discussing the conceptual question of social classes and the category of dependency. The influence of the class struggle in policy is taken from the understanding of the environment as an essential analytical element, with the aid of theoretical and methodological support of Marxist political theory. It is therefore a contribution to the debate in the field of studies on work and education in Brazil. The case of neodesenvolvimentista front that has ruled the country since 2003, reconfiguring the power bloc of the Brazilian state, is analyzed, even in a first approximation, in an effort to locate the recent Professional Education unification policy in Brazil, PRONATEC, at this juncture .
