This investigation into certain elements of critical Latin American Literature was prompted by the apparent post-1980s neglect by academics of Anglo-Saxon origin to engage with the state and social class, in the contextual framework of the political economy, as central elements of social analysis. This analytical perspective of the state was marginalised by post-modernism and post-structuralism during the 1980s and 1990s with the state re-defined by contemporary globalisation theorists according to a notion of the nation-state. This constitutes one element of an overaching configuration of power relationa and networks comprising a variety of transnational players who assume political and economic roles to pursue their interests. This designation of players detracts from the centrality of class as an analytical tool, preferring to dwell on notions of power and conflict without pursuing tha analysis to its fundamental origin in a system of control and ownership of resources by dominant transnational corporations. An abandoning of the state as a central conceptual tool has coincided with changes , in the way the role performed by the university is conceptualised, foregrounding symptoms of an ideological intrusion by neoliberal discourse concerning the role of the University, rather than locating the cause. Hence the greater struggle for ideological hegemony that occurs within society, waged by the mass media, as mouthpiece of implementation by agents of transnational financial capital, and progating a neoliberal discourse, seems overlooked.

A questão central que permeia este estudo é: os empresários são, no Brasil e na Argentina, atores de governo educacionais? Partimos do pressuposto de que as reformas educacionais transcorreram num processo dinâmico de mudanças no modo de regulação social, que deu lugar à redefinição tanto do papel do Estado como do setor privado. Elegemos como foco de análise as organizações, e não os empresários em si. A definição de alguns critérios permitiu-nos trabalhar com seis organizações dos dois países. Utilizamos como instrumentos de pesquisa entrevistas realizadas nos dois países com diretores(as) das organizações e com gestores(as) públicos(as), além de documentos como legislação, estatutos, publicações das organizações e matérias de jornais de circulação de massa. A metodologia utilizada na pesquisa é a comparação, priorizando o enfoque histórico-sociológico como referência de investigação. Os marcos conceituais de análise estão relacionados às abordagens de autores contemporâneos das áreas de educação e ciências sociais sobre a reforma do Estado e sobre as estratégias e as ações utilizadas pelo poder público para incorporar os múltiplos atores sociais na gestão das políticas sociais, particularmente das políticas educacionais. Os resultados das nossas análises confirmam nossas premissas iniciais de que os empresários são, no Brasil e na Argentina, atores de governo educacionais. Muito embora não sejam novos atores, apresentam-se de forma distinta no governo da educação, pela maneira como seus espaços de atuação foram redefinidos e readaptados no processo das reformas recentes, em que o Estado pluraliza os meios de governar, sem deixar de agir como ator central. / Abstract: This work has as main objective analyzying the participation of intreprisers in basic education in Brazil and Argentina from the reforms of the 1990s, specifically, political strategies and and educational activities that were materialized through business organizations, understanding the reasons the entreprisers are interested in public education, how this occurs and identifying the relationship between the government and business in education policy. The central question which permeates this study is: does the enterprisers, in Brazil and Argentina, the actors of government education? The educational reforms passed into a dynamical social process of changes in its regulation, which resulted the rolls redefinition of both state and private sector.The chosen focus was the analysis of the organizations, and not only the business itself. The definition of some criteria allowed us to work with six organizations in these two countries. We used inquirying interviews executed in these two ones with directors of the organizations and with public managers in addition to documents as legislation, statutes, publications of the organizations and current press mass media literature.The methodology used in the research was the comparison, prioritizing the sociological and historical approach as an investigation reference. The landmarks concept of analysis is related to contemporary authors from education areas and social sciences based on reforms of the State and on the strategies actions used by the public power to incorporate the multiple actors in the social and political managements, particularly the education politics. The results of our analyses confirm our initial premises that the businessmen are, in Brazil and in Argentina, education actors of government. However, are not new actors, they accomplish it into a different form in the education government .according the way it was re-defined and readapted in the last reform, in which the State pluralizes governing way, keep being its central actor. / Doutorado / Ciencias Sociais na Educação / Doutor em Educação

The present thesis compares geografical education in Argentina, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico and Spain. The main subject is the concept of the geografical education of level ISCED 2, presented in binding curriculum of the foremntioned countries. Content analysis of the curriculum aims to find out whether general geographical education is being unified or not. This thesis seeks to verify or falsify the hypothesis of bases of the elementary general geographical education being consistent in globalised world. This hypothesis is justified by the fact that educational potential of geography (certain basis of maternal discipline) is very similar across the world, as are main educational needs of today's society. Undoubtedly, the needs determine the goals, topics and content structure of geographical education. The structure of the thesis is congruent with the forementioned goals. The first part gives broader background of the subject. The second part is the research, its methodology and results. The concept of geographical education in curriculum was assessed through quantitaive and qualitative content analysis. Quantitative analysis focused on the frequency of key words (indicators of content unification) in educational goals and main topics. If the given indicator had been found to be present in at least...

Considerando que a educação infantil vem sendo reconhecida como um nível de ensino de importância fundamental, não somente por sua responsabilidade em proporcionar o desenvolvimento integral da criança, mas também, por contribuir para o bom desempenho do aluno nas séries subsequentes, a formação dos professores dessa etapa educativa torna-se então, alvo de diversas políticas educacionais, uma vez que incide diretamente na qualidade do ensino. Tendo como objeto de estudo as políticas nacionais de formação inicial e continuada de professores para a educação infantil implementadas no Brasil e na Argentina, analisamos comparativamente o discurso oficial presente nestas políticas, na tentativa de compreender como foram elaboradas e aplicadas. Para isso, buscamos investigar os requisitos de titulação legal exigida para lecionar no nível inicial; as tipologias de instituições formadoras, sua estrutura e organização; o currículo para os cursos de formação; as iniciativas do poder público par melhorar a qualidade da educação; e as influências dos organismos internacionais quanto à fixação de parâmetros exigidos em avaliações de desempenho como o Programa Internacional de Avaliação de Estudantes coordenado pela OCDE. Dentro desse contexto, o estudo comparativo configurou-se como o principal procedimento metodológico que orientou a pesquisa, possibilitando assim, a realização de uma análise de cunho qualitativo e explicativo. O referencial teórico utilizado pautou-se nos estudos de autores como Aguilar (2000, 2002, 2005, 2009), Campos, M. (2006, 2010), Campos, R. (2009), Didonet (2006, 2010), Dávila e Naya (2010), Feldfeber (2006, 2009), Kramer (2006), Oliveira, D. (2006, 2009), Rosemberg (2010), entre outros, a fim de localizar e aprofundar as questões trazidas pelas políticas educacionais de formação de professores, indo além da simples construção de uma pesquisa descritiva. A partir da reconstrução dos cenários nacionais, da observação, da interpretação e da descrição longitudinal do sentido que adquiriu o discurso oficial na agenda dos governos brasileiro e argentino e suas políticas e leis, que tratam da formação dos professores para a primeira infância, foi possível identificar, por meio da análise simultânea, as proximidades, as semelhanças e as diferenças existentes entre os dois países pesquisados. Desse modo, os resultados deste trabalho demonstram que os caminhos trilhados por Brasil e Argentina na formulação e implementação de políticas de formação espelham trajetórias diferentes em termos de seus determinantes, bem como dos desdobramentos que elas geraram. Assim, vislumbramos que esta pesquisa se configure como um termômetro de discussão sobre o acesso à educação infantil, para que esta seja repensada e entendida como essencial sob o ponto de vista educacional, tanto pelo poder público como pela sociedade em geral, orientando e (re)orientando o rumo e curso de ações políticas que valorizem e se pautem na qualidade da formação dos professores desse nível de ensino. / Abstract: This thesis presents a Comparative Study of National Policies for Early Childhood Teachers in Brazil and Argentina, from 1990 to 2010. Considering that early childhood education has been recognized as a very important educational stage, not only for its accountability on providing a complete development for a child, but also by improving student's performance at next steps, teacher formation in this educational stage has become a target for several educational policies, as it impacts directly on teaching quality. With national policies for initial and continuing teacher's formation on early childhood education as the study objective, we do a comparative analysis of government discourses about these policies in Brazil and Argentina, trying to understand how they were formulated and implemented. In this way, we have investigated the requirements to get a qualified teaching degree for the initial stage; typologies of teacher's formation institutions, their structure and organization; courses programs; government initiatives in order to improve education quality; and international bodies influence on establishing parameters required at performance evaluations such as Programme for International Student Assessment, managed by OECD. In this context, the comparative study has become the main methodological procedure to guide the research and, therefore, enable qualitative and explicative analysis. Theoretical references were based on studies made by Aguilar (2000, 2002, 2005, 2009), Campos, M. (2006, 2010), Campos, R. (2009), Didonet (2006, 2010), Dávila e Naya (2010), Feldfeber (2006, 2009), Kramer (2006), Oliveira, D. (2006, 2009), Rosemberg (2010), among others, in order to find and deepen some questions from teacher's formation policies, going further than just doing a simple descriptive research. Some techniques such as national scenarios review, observation, interpretation and a longitudinal description of the meaning given to public discourses on government plans, as well as policies and laws related to early childhood teacher's formation, were used to identify similarities and differences between Brazil and Argentina, through simultaneous analysis. Thus, the results of this study show that strategies taken by these two countries during planning and Execution phases of its teacher's formation policies were different, considering decision matters and its consequences. Therefore, we consider this research as a guidance for discussions about early childhood education admission, in order to recognize its great value on the whole educational process, not only by government but also all society, and manage official actions to ensure quality for teacher's formation at this educational stage. / Doutorado / Politicas, Administração e Sistemas Educacionais / Doutor em Educação
