COMPONENTE CURRICULAR PROJETO DE VIDA: UMA ESTRATÉGIA NEOLIBERAL PARA O ENSINO MÉDIO

Abstract

This dissertation is part of the research line Education, Culture, Theories and Pedagogical Processes of the Graduate Program in Education (stricto sensu) of the Faculdade de Inhumas. The purpose of this study is to understand the concepts that permeate the Life Project component in the public schools of the state of Goiás. For this, we raise the following question-problem: How does the Common National Curricular Base and the Curricular Document for the State of Goiás understand the Life Project? From this question, others follow: Which concepts have been considered by public educational agencies for the organization of the planned curriculum of the Life Project? Which theories related to human formation underlie the Life Project component in the Curricular Document for the State of Goiás - High School? To what extent the contents of the Life Project contribute to the human formation of the student? Thus, the general objective of this work was to understand how the curricular component Life Project is configured in the curriculum of the state public schools of Goiás. As specific objectives, we sought to: raise the theoretical framework to which the expression Life Project is affiliated; analyze the prescribed and planned curricula of the Life Project in the state education system and verify with what purpose the life project contemplates the students' human development. The research was conducted through bibliographic study and document analysis of the Law 9394/96, the Common National Curricular Base and the Curricular Document for the State of Goiás - High School Stage. Therefore, its nature is basic, of qualitative nature, based on the dialectical method. For analysis, reflection, and finding possible answers, we summoned some theorists, namely: Araújo, Arantes and Pinheiro (2020), Bourdieu (2003), Damon (2009), Danza (2014), Dardot and Laval (2016a, 2016b), Libâneo and Freitas (2016, 2018), Lôbo (2020), Safatle (2021), Sandel (2021), among others. The reflections allowed us to reinforce that the expression Life Project has its origin in Willian Damon (2009). Another point highlighted is that both the prescribed and the planned curriculum of Life Project analyzed present concepts related to coaching, positive psychology, spirituality and human values, aiming to build life projects with purposes directed to professions, satisfying neoliberal capitalist interests rather than human development, which presupposes an ethical coexistence between the subject and society.
