AS REPRESENTAÇÕES SOCIAIS DE CIDADANIA NO ENSINO MÉDIO BRASILEIRO

Abstract

The present study was developed owing the Education Program Master Title of Goiás Catholic University post graduation Stricto Sensu program, with the investigation theme in Education, Society and Culture which includes education and related topics and its relation to society and culture, its theoretical and epistemological relations. Also include research on social, cultural and historical components that influence education and proposal practices. The research, of exploratory documented nature, with content analysis based on Bardin (2002); aimed to identify and analyze Social Representations (SR) about citizenship on Secondary Level Education, owing to understand its concept and the emergency of the term citizenship , on official documents that are the foundation of education laws: 4.024, December, 20 of 1961, our first Base and Guideline Law; 5.692 august 11 of 1971 that fixes the Base and Guidelines to the first and second grades; the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988 Basic Principles; and the last Base and Guidelines Law of Education 9.394, of 1996; part of DCNEM of 1998- Secondary Level National Curricular Guidelines, contained on PCNEM of 1999- National Curricular Parameters and the PCNEM. At all, I appeal to the moscovician theory, which considers that the SR are specific phenomenon and present particularities in the way to comprehend and communicate a reality or the common sense. To justify and explain citizenship representations, I appealed to the basic foundations of historical materialism, PCNEM texts and the Second Grade Curricular Orientations (2004), because they present more criticism to the Curricular Reform. The research about citizenship on official documents that represent the actual norm of Brazilian secondary level education evidence the following representations: the hardworking citizen ; the flexible citizen and the productive citizen , therefore centered on a work formation. These representations constitute the intersection between citizenship and labor world, inflexion point to comprehend the presupposition of the final stage of Basic Education of the curricular reform of Secondary Level, as well as the influence and exigencies of labor market to the expectations of citizen-worker deposited on education.
