Ensino médio integrado no Ceará como proposta de formação para a classe trabalhadora: expressão contemporânea da dicotomia educativa

Abstract

The following study aims to investigate the proposal of training for the working class, existing on EMI Ceará, taking it as a contemporary expression of the educational dichotomy. It is understood that the educational dichotomy is the essential category that expresses High School’s genesis, development and the current social function of professional education, at the core of which, is shown the formative orientation of class society: to a portion of the population, the broadest possibilities of propaedeutic education, to assume the positions of command and social control, while to the other, the most usual way is qualification that meets the demands of capital. The educational dichotomy exists, in this sense, as a manifestation of the social division of labour, that is worsened by the current capitalists’ ways of production. In order to achieve the precise nature of this study’s object, was performed the analysis of documents and laws concerning general education and full time high school education, specifically those such as the Education for All in Brazil Report, the National Education Guidelines and Bases Law, the National Curriculum Guidelines for Professional Education, the Ceará State Full Time High School’s Policies Management Report (from 2008 to 2014), among others. This research has as theoretical-methodological reference the historical and dialectical materialism and the Marxist-Lukácsian method, which implies, in the foreground, the take of labour as founding complex of the social being, and education as a founded complex. From there, follows the way that mankind produces its existence, at a particular historical moment, by means of work and its resulting relations, is characterized the becoming of human sociability. On the current historical period, work as well as the others social complexes are crossed by a crisis in the capital system that Mészaros (2002) describes as of structural nature, with severe repercussions on education, being significant the interference of multilateral financial organization on global and national education guidelines, as well as the approximation of school practice that informs the capitalist market. These facts, per our research, are also present in the State of Ceará and in its EEEPs.
