Aproximações entre capital humano e qualidade total na educação
Keywords:
educação, teoria do capital humano, neoliberalismo, education, human capital theory, neoliberalism.Abstract
Neste artigo analisa-se como a educação, a partir da década de sessenta, passa a ser vista enquanto um investimento, um fator de produção, como incremento de capital, só que humano. A educação pública (enquanto direito) reveste-se de posturas próprias da lógica do capital. Essa passagem, ocorrida no capitalismo monopolista dos países centrais, tem influenciado não somente o tecnicismo das reformas educacionais brasileiras na relação entre educação e produtividade, mas também tem adquirido novas fisionomias nas reformas dos anos noventa com a idéia da qualidade total medida pela eficiência/produtividade. É com a finalidade de caracterizar essas novas fisionomias, e não simplesmente repetir as críticas anteriores, que se estuda a teoria do capital humano no âmbito das políticas públicas para as universidades oficiais, na perspectiva do pensamento neoliberal.
Approximations between human stock and total quality in education
Abstract
The aim of this article is to analyse how education, since the 1 960s, has been viewed as an investiment, a factor of production, an increase in capital, which is, nevertheless, human capital. Public education (viewed as a human right) is characterized by attitudes and points of view that come, in fact, from the ones concerned with capital. This transition, which took place in the monopolist capitalism of developed countries, has influenced not only the technicism of Brasilian educational reform concemig the relationship between education and productivity, but it has also acquired new facets ín the 90s reform, due to the idea of total qualíty measured by efficiency/productivity. Therefore, the theory of human capital related to public policies for federal universities is studied, from the perspective of neoliberal thinking, and having as an aim the definition and characterization of those new facets, and not only the repetition of criticism which has already been expressed.
