O Novo Ensino Médio no discurso de alunos e professores do curso noturno de escolas públicas de Bagé/RS

Abstract

The motivation of this research is linked to the interest of observing how schools that operate in the night shift in the city of Bagé/RS are facing the changes brought about by the reform of High School (HS) as: increased workload, change in curriculum, new disciplines, decreased workload on core subjects, etc. Thus, the work will be guided by the theoretical-analytical device of Discourse Analysis (DA), of Materialist strand, whose intention is to analyze the effects of meaning produced for the New HS by night shift first year students and teachers. For this, we mobilize the concepts of discourse, ideology and subject, then the latter is constituted by unconscious interpellation (without realizing it) to some discursive formation (DF), which determines what can and should be said, that being said, we have worked with the main DA theoreticians: M. Pêcheux, C. Fucks, E. Orlandi, among others. And we also mobilized the concept of Ideological State Apparatuses, from L. Althusser. And one of the specificities of this research was to build a bibliographical file with studies that analyze the governmental discourse that governs the new High School and a researcher's file with the analysis materialities from which we cut discursive sequences of statements of students and teachers of the 1st grade of the High School of the night course, to understand the subject-positions assumed by students and teachers and the effects of meaning produced about: the new High School, the increased workload, new subjects, training itineraries and education aiming at the labor market. Thereby, the research shows, via the meanings produced on the classroom observations and elaborated questions for teachers and students answer, we observed that schools have not really implemented the new teaching, because institutions are still planning; there is no structure to work with the New EM; teachers had little training; not all students and teachers received clear information about the renovation; and the reproduction of the labor market-oriented discourse is praised by most of the interviewees. In essence, we observe that the majority of the night course individuals, students and teachers, reproduce the governmental discourse produced by a neoliberal FD that aims to supply the market's needs for the maintenance of the relations of production determined by the capitalist ideology.
