A “COMMODITIZAÇÃO” DO CONHECIMENTO TRADICIONAL: notas sobre o processo de regulamentação jurídica

Resumo Observa-se que a CDB e MP recorreram às “velhas” categorias vinculadas à ordem privada para “enquadrar”  as “novas” situações relacionadas às “populações indígenas” e “comunidades locais”, como são designados esses grupos sociais portadores de identidade étnica. Nesse sentido, o  presente trabalho procura articular a noção de “sujeito de direito” e de “contrato” com intuito de compreender as conseqüências desse processo de regulamentação jurídica do acesso ao conhecimento tradicional associado à biodiversidade,  na medida em que essas transformações tendem a desarticular as relações construídas, ameaçando de forma paradoxal a própria diversidade, que objetiva proteger. Na verdade, trata-se de colocar  em suspenso os dispositivos legais que regulamentam o acesso, sob pena de não conseguirmos apreendê-los.   Abstract It´s observed that CDB and MP resorted to “old” categories bonded to the private law in order to “square” the “new” situations related to “native American communities” and to the “local communities”, how these social groups, which carry ethnic identity, are assigned. In this direction, the present work intents to articulate the notion of “subject of right” and “contract” with the purpose to understand the consequences of the legal regulation process of traditional knowledge access associated to the biodiversity, at the same time that these transformations tend to disarticulate the constructed relations, threatening in a paradoxical way the own diversity that it objectives to protect. In the truth, it´s treated to place the legal devices that regulate the access in suspended, duly warned not to obtain apprehends them.

From Traditional Assessment to the New Competency-Based Assessment

The evaluation of school students has always attempted to estimate the effort, abilities and learning of students. However, at the beginning, evaluation consisted in measuring the progress of the student’s behavior compared to a desirable behavior. Later on, different changes in evaluation benefited the processes addressed to assessing the academic achievement of students and learning itself. Today, the demands of the contemporary society are vast and numerous: students not only require knowledge, they need to develop skills, values and postures. Postmodern education requires individuals to develop different talents and competencies to grow in every way. Therefore, evaluation should respond to such needs promoting an ethical, technical, reliable assessment of the student’s competencies, thus providing more fair and objective, qualitative and quantitative judgments. This dissertation project is the result of a literature review of several authors and the daily work of teachers in the Centros de Educación Media Superior a Distancia [High School Distance Centers] of Morelos, Mexico.
