Ensino de filosofia e o problema do endereçamento curricular da etica nos PCN : controle ou democracia?

Abstract

This research, inspired by the concept of how to address, analyzes the curriculum of ethics as a Transversal Subject of the Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais ? PCN (National Curricular Parameters) and seeks answers to the following questions: what the curriculum "thinks" it is Who it "believes" that its target is? This curriculum is a curricular innovation? The methodological route of that theoreticalqualitative research limited its object within the framework of public policies of curriculum focusing on the analysis of its content. Based on the results collected in this conceptual study, it seems plausible to understand that the target of the curriculum of ethics of PCN is the student who is expected to become a citizen, na employee and a moralized consumer, disciplined, controlled and useful to the administered society and market. Thus, it is prudent not to characterize this as a curricular innovation, since it is based on assumptions of Liberal Pedagogies with characteristics of the New School Pedagogy and of Technicism, which emerged at the beginning and throughout the twentieth century with the hue that justifies the authoritative ethos of the exclusionary, unfair and uneven capitalist system. This understanding is as likely as the thesis that the purpose of a curriculum depends on its connection with the macro, meso and micro dimensions of the reality experienced in economic, cultural, political and ideological aspects of the model of society of which it is part. Once the curriculum is a field of power relations, which determines the rate of successes, or mistakes, in which a curricular message may incur. What is done with a curriculum becomes more significant for the school than what it "thinks" being in what it "thinks" that the recipients are. What matters, then, is how students and teachers deal with its mechanisms of control and curricular disciplinarian, aiming to make possible existential styles of more systemic justice, more freedom and more real democracy.
