Inclusive education policy, the general allocation model and dilemmas of practice in primary schools
Resumo:
Background: Inclusive education is central to contemporary discourse internationally reflecting societies’ wider commitment to social inclusion. Education has witnessed transforming approaches that have created differing distributions of power, resource allocation and accountability. Multiple actors are being forced to consider changes to how key services and supports are organised. This research constitutes a case study situated within this broader social service dilemma of how to distribute finite resources equitably to meet individual need, while advancing inclusion. It focuses on the national directive with regard to inclusive educational practice for primary schools, Department of Education and Science Special Education Circular 02/05, which introduced the General Allocation Model (GAM) within the legislative context of the Education of Persons with Special Educational Needs (EPSEN) Act (Government of Ireland, 2004). This research could help to inform policy with ‘facts about what is happening on the ground’ (Quinn, 2013). Research Aims: The research set out to unearth the assumptions and definitions embedded within the policy document, to analyse how those who are at the coalface of policy, and who interface with multiple interests in primary schools, understand the GAM and respond to it, and to investigate its effects on students and their education. It examines student outcomes in the primary schools where the GAM was investigated. Methods and Sample The post-structural study acknowledges the importance of policy analysis which explicitly links the ‘bigger worlds’ of global and national policy contexts to the ‘smaller worlds’ of policies and practices within schools and classrooms. This study insists upon taking the detail seriously (Ozga, 1990). A mixed methods approach to data collection and analysis is applied. In order to secure the perspectives of key stakeholders, semi-structured interviews were conducted with primary school principals, class teachers and learning support/resource teachers (n=14) in three distinct mainstream, non-DEIS schools. Data from the schools and their environs provided a profile of students. The researcher then used the Pobal Maps Facility (available at www.pobal.ie) to identify the Small Area (SA) in which each student resides, and to assign values to each address based on the Pobal HP Deprivation Index (Haase and Pratschke, 2012). Analysis of the datasets, guided by the conceptual framework of the policy cycle (Ball, 1994), revealed a number of significant themes. Results: Data illustrate that the main model to support student need is withdrawal from the classroom under policy that espouses inclusion. Quantitative data, in particular, highlighted an association between segregated practice and lower socioeconomic status (LSES) backgrounds of students. Up to 83% of the students in special education programmes are from lower socio-economic status (LSES) backgrounds. In some schools 94% of students from LSES backgrounds are withdrawn from classrooms daily for special education. While the internal processes of schooling are not solely to blame for class inequalities, this study reveals the power of professionals to order children in school, which has implications for segregated special education practice. Such agency on the part of key actors in the context of practice relates to ‘local constructions of dis/ability’, which is influenced by teacher habitus (Bourdieu, 1984). The researcher contends that inclusive education has not resulted in positive outcomes for students from LSES backgrounds because it is built on faulty assumptions that focus on a psycho-medical perspective of dis/ability, that is, placement decisions do not consider the intersectionality of dis/ability with class or culture. This study argues that the student need for support is better understood as ‘home/school discontinuity’ not ‘disability’. Moreover, the study unearths the power of some parents to use social and cultural capital to ensure eligibility to enhanced resources. Therefore, a hierarchical system has developed in mainstream schools as a result of funding models to support need in inclusive settings. Furthermore, all schools in the study are ‘ordinary’ schools yet participants acknowledged that some schools are more ‘advantaged’, which may suggest that ‘ordinary’ schools serve to ‘bury class’ (Reay, 2010) as a key marker in allocating resources. The research suggests that general allocation models of funding to meet the needs of students demands a systematic approach grounded in reallocating funds from where they have less benefit to where they have more. The calculation of the composite Haase Value in respect of the student cohort in receipt of special education support adopted for this study could be usefully applied at a national level to ensure that the greatest level of support is targeted at greatest need. Conclusion: In summary, the study reveals that existing structures constrain and enable agents, whose interactions produce intended and unintended consequences. The study suggests that policy should be viewed as a continuous and evolving cycle (Ball, 1994) where actors in each of the social contexts have a shared responsibility in the evolution of education that is equitable, excellent and inclusive.

It is now 15 years since the signing of the 1998 Belfast (or ‘Good Friday’) Peace Agreement which committed all participants to exclusively democratic and peaceful means of resolving differences, and towards a shared and inclusive society defined by the principles of respect for diversity, equality and the interdependence of people. In particular, it committed participants to the protection and vindication of the human rights of all. This is, therefore, a precipitous time to undertake a probing analysis of educational reforms in Northern Ireland associated with provision in the areas of inclusion and special needs education. Consequently, by drawing upon analytical tools and perspectives derived from critical policy analysis, this article, by Ron Smith from the School of Education, Queen’s University Belfast, discusses the policy cycle associated with the proposed legislation entitled Every School a Good School: the way forward for special educational needs and inclusion. It examines how this policy text structures key concepts such as ‘inclusion’, ‘additional educational needs’ and ‘barriers to learning’, and how the proposals attempt to resolve the dilemma of commonality and difference. Conceived under direct rule from Westminster (April 2006), issued for consultation when devolved powers to a Northern Ireland Assembly had been restored, and with the final proposals yet to be made public, this targeted educational strategy tells a fascinating story of the past, present and likely future of special needs education in Northern Ireland. Before offering an account of this work, it is placed within some broader ecological frameworks.

Dans le sillage de la récession mondiale de 2008-09, plusieurs questions ont été soulevées dans la littérature économique sur les effets à court et à long terme de la politique budgétaire sur l’activité économique par rapport à son signe, sa taille et sa durée. Ceux-ci ont des implications importantes pour mieux comprendre les canaux de transmission et l’efficacité des politiques budgétaires, avec la politique monétaire étant poursuivi, ainsi que pour leurs retombées économiques. Cette thèse fait partie de ce regain d’intérêt de la littérature d’examiner comment les changements dans la politique budgétaire affectent l’activité économique. Elle repose alors sur trois essais: les effets macroéconomiques des chocs de dépenses publiques et des recettes fiscales, les résultats macroéconomiques de l’interaction entre les politiques budgétaire et monétaire et le lien entre la politique budgétaire et la répartition des revenus. Le premier chapitre examine les effets des chocs de politique budgétaire (chocs de dépenses publiques et chocs de recettes fiscales) sur l’économie canadienne au cours de la période 1970-2010, en s’appuyant sur la méthode d’identification des restrictions de signe développée par Mountford et Uhlig [2009]. En réponse à la récession mondiale, les autorités fiscales dans les économies avancées, dont le Canada ont généralement mis en oeuvre une approche en deux phases pour la politique budgétaire. Tout d’abord, ils ont introduit des plans de relance sans précédent pour relancer leurs économies. Par exemple, les mesures de relance au Canada, introduites à travers le Plan d’action économique du Canada, ont été projetées à 3.2 pour cent du PIB dans le budget fédéral de 2009 tandis que l’ "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act"(ARRA) a été estimé à 7 pour cent du PIB. Par la suite, ils ont mis en place des plans d’ajustement en vue de réduire la dette publique et en assurer la soutenabilité à long terme. Dans ce contexte, évaluer les effets multiplicateurs de la politique budgétaire est important en vue d’informer sur l'efficacité de telles mesures dans la relance ou non de l'activité économique. Les résultats montrent que les multiplicateurs d'impôt varient entre 0.2 et 0.5, tandis que les multiplicateurs de dépenses varient entre 0.2 et 1.1. Les multiplicateurs des dépenses ont tendance à être plus grand que les multiplicateurs des recettes fiscales au cours des deux dernières décennies. Comme implications de politique économique, ces résultats tendent à suggérer que les ajustements budgétaires par le biais de grandes réductions de dépenses publiques pourraient être plus dommageable pour l'économie que des ajustements budgétaires par la hausse des impôts. Le deuxième chapitre, co-écrit avec Constant Lonkeng Ngouana, estime les effets multiplicateurs des dépenses publiques aux Etats-Unis en fonction du cycle de la politique monétaire. Les chocs de dépenses publiques sont identifiés comme étant des erreurs de prévision du taux de croissance des dépenses publiques à partir des données d'Enquêtes des prévisionnistes professionnels et des informations contenues dans le "Greenbook". L'état de la politique monétaire est déduite à partir de la déviation du taux des fonds fédéraux du taux cible de la Réserve Fédérale, en faisant recours à une fonction lisse de transition. L'application de la méthode des «projections locales» aux données trimestrielles américaines au cours de la période 1965-2012 suggère que les effets multiplicateurs des dépenses fédérales sont sensiblement plus élevées quand la politique monétaire est accommodante que lorsqu'elle ne l'est pas. Les résultats suggèrent aussi que les dépenses fédérales peuvent stimuler ou non la consommation privée, dépendamment du degré d’accommodation de la politique monétaire. Ce dernier résultat réconcilie ainsi, sur la base d’un cadre unifié des résultats autrement contradictoires à première vue dans la littérature. Ces résultats ont d'importantes implications de politique économique. Ils suggèrent globalement que la politique budgétaire est plus efficace lorsqu'on en a le plus besoin (par exemple, lorsque le taux de chômage est élevé), si elle est soutenue par la politique monétaire. Ils ont également des implications pour la normalisation des conditions monétaires dans les pays avancés: la sortie des politiques monétaires non-conventionnelles conduirait à des multiplicateurs de dépenses fédérales beaucoup plus faibles qu'autrement, même si le niveau de chômage restait élevé. Ceci renforce la nécessité d'une calibration prudente du calendrier de sortie des politiques monétaires non-conventionnelles. Le troisième chapitre examine l'impact des mesures d'expansion et de contraction budgétaire sur la distribution des revenus dans un panel de 18 pays d'Amérique latine au cours de la période 1990-2010, avec un accent sur les deniers 40 pour cent. Il explore alors comment ces mesures fiscales ainsi que leur composition affectent la croissance des revenus des dernier 40 pour cent, la croissance de leur part de revenu ainsi que la croissance économique. Les mesures d'expansion et de contraction budgétaire sont identifiées par des périodes au cours desquels il existe une variation significative du déficit primaire corrigé des variations conjoncturelles en pourcentage du PIB. Les résultats montrent qu'en moyenne l'expansion budgétaire par la hausse des dépenses publiques est plus favorable à la croissance des revenus des moins bien-nantis que celle par la baisse des impôts. Ce résultat est principalement soutenu par la hausse des dépenses gouvernementales de consommation courante, les transferts et subventions. En outre ces mesures d’expansion budgétaire sont favorables à la réduction des inégalités car elles permettent d'améliorer la part des revenus des moins bien-nantis tout en réduisant la part des revenus des mieux-nantis de la distribution des revenus. En outre ces mesures d’expansion budgétaire sont favorables à la réduction des inégalités car elles permettent d'améliorer la part des revenus des moins bien-nantis tout en réduisant la part des revenus des mieux-nantis de la distribution des revenus. Cependant, l'expansion budgétaire pourrait soit n'avoir aucun effet sur la croissance économique ou entraver cette dernière à travers la hausse des dépenses en capital. Les résultats relatifs à la contraction budgétaire sont quelque peu mitigés. Parfois, les mesures de contraction budgétaire sont associées à une baisse de la croissance des revenus des moins bien nantis et à une hausse des inégalités, parfois l'impact de ces mesures est non significatif. Par ailleurs, aucune des mesures n’affecte de manière significative la croissance du PIB. Comme implications de politique économique, les pays avec une certaine marge de manœuvre budgétaire pourraient entamer ou continuer à mettre en œuvre des programmes de "filets de sauvetage"--par exemple les programmes de transfert monétaire conditionnel--permettant aux segments vulnérables de la population de faire face à des chocs négatifs et aussi d'améliorer leur conditions de vie. Avec un potentiel de stimuler l'emploi peu qualifié, une relance budgétaire sage par les dépenses publique courantes pourrait également jouer un rôle important pour la réduction des inégalités. Aussi, pour éviter que les dépenses en capital freinent la croissance économique, les projets d'investissements publics efficients devraient être prioritaires dans le processus d'élaboration des politiques. Ce qui passe par la mise en œuvre des projets d'investissement avec une productivité plus élevée capable de générer la croissance économique nécessaire pour réduire les inégalités.

Clusters have increasingly become an essential part of policy discourses at all levels, EU, national, regional, dealing with regional development, competitiveness, innovation, entrepreneurship, SMEs. These impressive efforts in promoting the concept of clusters on the policy-making arena have been accompanied by much less academic and scientific research work investigating the actual economic performance of firms in clusters, the design and execution of cluster policies and going beyond singular case studies to a more methodologically integrated and comparative approach to the study of clusters and their real-world impact. The theoretical background is far from being consolidated and there is a variety of methodologies and approaches for studying and interpreting this phenomenon while at the same time little comparability among studies on actual cluster performances. The conceptual framework of clustering suggests that they affect performance but theory makes little prediction as to the ultimate distribution of the value being created by clusters. This thesis takes the case of Eastern European countries for two reasons. One is that clusters, as coopetitive environments, are a new phenomenon as the previous centrally-based system did not allow for such types of firm organizations. The other is that, as new EU member states, they have been subject to the increased popularization of the cluster policy approach by the European Commission, especially in the framework of the National Reform Programmes related to the Lisbon objectives. The originality of the work lays in the fact that starting from an overview of theoretical contributions on clustering, it offers a comparative empirical study of clusters in transition countries. There have been very few examples in the literature that attempt to examine cluster performance in a comparative cross-country perspective. It adds to this an analysis of cluster policies and their implementation or lack of such as a way to analyse the way the cluster concept has been introduced to transition economies. Our findings show that the implementation of cluster policies does vary across countries with some countries which have embraced it more than others. The specific modes of implementation, however, are very similar, based mostly on soft measures such as funding for cluster initiatives, usually directed towards the creation of cluster management structures or cluster facilitators. They are essentially founded on a common assumption that the added values of clusters is in the creation of linkages among firms, human capital, skills and knowledge at the local level, most often perceived as the regional level. Often times geographical proximity is not a necessary element in the application process and cluster application are very similar to network membership. Cluster mapping is rarely a factor in the selection of cluster initiatives for funding and the relative question about critical mass and expected outcomes is not considered. In fact, monitoring and evaluation are not elements of the cluster policy cycle which have received a lot of attention. Bulgaria and the Czech Republic are the countries which have implemented cluster policies most decisively, Hungary and Poland have made significant efforts, while Slovakia and Romania have only sporadically and not systematically used cluster initiatives. When examining whether, in fact, firms located within regional clusters perform better and are more efficient than similar firms outside clusters, we do find positive results across countries and across sectors. The only country with negative impact from being located in a cluster is the Czech Republic.

The central assumption in the literature on collaborative networks and policy networks is that political outcomes are affected by a variety of state and nonstate actors. Some of these actors are more powerful than others and can therefore have a considerable effect on decision making. In this article, we seek to provide a structural and institutional explanation for these power differentials in policy networks and support the explanation with empirical evidence. We use a dyadic measure of influence reputation as a proxy for power, and posit that influence reputation over the political outcome is related to vertical integration into the political system by means of formal decision-making authority, and to horizontal integration by means of being well embedded into the policy network. Hence, we argue that actors are perceived as influential because of two complementary factors: (a) their institutional roles and (b) their structural positions in the policy network. Based on temporal and cross-sectional exponential random graph models, we compare five cases about climate, telecommunications, flood prevention, and toxic chemicals politics in Switzerland and Germany. The five networks cover national and local networks at different stages of the policy cycle. The results confirm that institutional and structural drivers seem to have a crucial impact on how an actor is perceived in decision making and implementation and, therefore, their ability to significantly shape outputs and service delivery.

For the past twenty years, several indicator sets have been produced on international, national and regional levels. Most of the work has concentrated on the selection of the indicators and on collection of the pertinent data, but less attention has been given to the actual users and their needs. This dissertation focuses on the use of sustainable development indicator sets. The dissertation explores the reasons that have deterred the use of the indicators, discusses the role of sustainable development indicators in a policy-cycle and broadens the view of use by recognising three different types of use. The work presents two indicator development processes: The Finnish national sustainable development indicators and the socio-cultural indicators supporting the measurement of eco-efficiency in the Kymenlaakso Region. The sets are compared by using a framework created in this work to describe indicator process quality. It includes five principles supported by more specific criteria. The principles are high policy relevance, sound indicator quality, efficient participation, effective dissemination and long-term institutionalisation. The framework provided a way to identify the key obstacles for use. The two immediate problems with current indicator sets are that the users are unaware of them and the indicators are often unsuitable to their needs. The reasons for these major flaws are irrelevance of the indicators to the policy needs, technical shortcomings in the context and presentation, failure to engage the users in the development process, non-existent dissemination strategies and lack of institutionalisation to promote and update the indicators. The importance of the different obstacles differs among the users and use types. In addition to the indicator projects, materials used in the dissertation include 38 interviews of high-level policy-makers or civil servants close to them, statistics of the national indicator Internet-page downloads, citations of the national indicator publication, and the media coverage of both indicator sets. According to the results, the most likely use for a sustainable development indicator set by policy-makers is to learn about the concept. Very little evidence of direct use to support decision-making was available. Conceptual use is also common for other user groups, namely the media, civil servants, researchers, students and teachers. Decision-makers themselves consider the most obvious use for the indicators to be the promotion of their own views which is a form of legitimising use. The sustainable development indicators have different types of use in the policy cycle and most commonly expected instrumental use is not very likely or even desirable at all stages. Stages of persuading the public and the decision-makers about new problems as well as in formulating new policies employ legitimising use. Learning by conceptual use is also inherent to policy-making as people involved learn about the new situation. Instrumental use is most likely in policy formulation, implementation and evaluation. The dissertation is an article dissertation, including five papers that are published in scientific journals and an extensive introductory chapter that discusses and weaves together the papers.

This paper conceptualises think tanks and edu-businesses in relation to education policy work in the Australian polity. It situates the enhanced influence of both in relation to the restructured state, which has lost some key capacities in relation to the generation of research and ideas for policy. This restructuring has been strongly influenced by the techniques of new public management, the auditing of education through national and international testing and new forms of network governance, which have opened up spaces for the increased influence of think tanks and edu-businesses across the policy cycle in education. We see here the workings of a ‘polycentric state’. The paper also considers changing concepts of ‘evidence’, ‘expertise’ and ‘influence’ in respect of the involvement of think tanks and edu-businesses in circulating policy ideas and affecting policy development in Australian education. This introduction to this special issue of The Australian Educational Researcher serves as a provocation to further research on this new policy scenario.

Descreve o atual panorama normativo para as cotas raciais no Brasil com base em estudo realizado com utilização de a análise documental e bibliográfica. Os resultados indicaram que a ausência de uma norma federal implicou baixa adesão ao sistema de cotas, o que é ratificado pelo insignificante número de Instituições Públicas de Ensino Superior (Ipes) que adotaram norma de cota racial - apenas 17,79%. Verificou-se, ainda, que essa ausência cria lacunas na adoção de diretrizes nacionais para a interpretação e a compreensão das ações afirmativas. Tais lacunas refletem diretamente no ciclo da política pública, comprometendo a avaliação e o acompanhamento da efetividade e do sucesso da política, o que é extremamente perigoso para a segurança jurídica na área de direitos humanos e para a garantia da equidade de fato nos espaços político, econômico e social.

Este estudo se insere em uma abordagem Pós-estruturalista. Nele, o conceito de discurso desenvolvido por Laclau é utilizado como categoria de análise para investigar o processo de legitimação do saber científico. O conceito de recontextualização por hibridismo proposto por Lopes (2005; 2006a) orienta a análise dos discursos produzidos nos diferentes contextos de produção curricular, a partir da abordagem do ciclo de políticas desenvolvida por Bowe, Ball e Gold (1992)e Ball (1994). No trabalho, são identificadas as demandas articuladas nos discursos de uma comunidade de pesquisadores que têm investigado o ensino de ciências nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. O estudo também apresenta uma reflexão produzida a partir de dados reunidos em uma pesquisa de cunho etnográfico,realizada em duas escolas da rede municipal de ensino do município do Rio de Janeiro. As análises indicam que o discurso educacional sobre o ensino de ciências expressa sentidos em disputa que oscilam entre a incorporação de novos paradigmas de ciência e de currículo e a manutenção de marcas que procuram preservar a ciência como conhecimento superior, contribuindo para a reafirmação dos princípios racionais que estão na base de constituição da escola como instituição da modernidade e associadas ao processo de hegemonização desse saber.

Este trabalho tem como temática as políticas curriculares circunscritas à análise de processos articulatórios no campo disciplinar da História. Defendo que a Teoria do Discurso de Ernesto Laclau é mais potente para a compreensão de como sujeitos atuam na produção de políticas e de como seus significados são discursivamente produzidos e hegemonizados. Articulo os aportes teórico-metodológicos da Teoria do Discurso aos do Ciclo Contínuo de Produção de Políticas de Stephen Ball, retomando sua defesa de currículo como texto, mas questionando o risco de reintrodução de uma centralidade no processo de significação das políticas. De igual modo, articulo à Teoria do Discurso os aportes da História das Disciplinas Escolares de Ivor Goodson, recuperando sua defesa de que significados disciplinares são negociados nos processos de hegemonização, mas questionando o risco de essencialização dos sujeitos bem como sua subjetivação anterior à articulação política. Com essa construção teórica híbrida, defendo a concepção de currículo como política cultural discursiva e a delimitação de um campo discursivo disciplinar da História como campo ressignificador das políticas curriculares. Reforço os argumentos sobre as potencialidades da Teoria do Discurso a partir de analogias com a linguagem, conferindo centralidade aos conceitos imbricados de metonimização e metaforização e de lógica do significante. A partir de uma das ferramentas da Linguística de Corpus, o programa Wordsmith Tools 5, submeto à análise, por um de seus instrumentos o Concord , o material empírico selecionado. Assim, identifico nas edições da Revista Brasileira de História e da Revista História Hoje publicações da Associação Nacional de História (ANPUH); em Pareceres, Diretrizes, Orientações e Parâmetros Curriculares, dentre outros textos chancelados pelo Estado brasileiro no período compreendido entre os anos de 1960 e 2010; e, em seis entrevistas, a forma como nesses textos se significa conhecimento histórico, destacando a superposição de sentidos. Por fim, defendo, como nos processos de significação, sentidos se deslocam e se condensam simultaneamente, tornando hegemônica a concepção embutida na metáfora de História como construção. Identifico processos de subjetivação nos quais atores sociais, defendendo a centralidade do conhecimento histórico, constituem uma identidade da História, antagonizando-se a outros que constituem uma identidade pedagógica na luta pela hegemonização de sentidos nas políticas curriculares.

Esta investigação analisa projetos em disputas na produção de políticas de currículo em EJA (Educação de Jovens e Adultos). Para tal, são investigadas produções de dois espaços em que circulam diferentes textos que enunciam demandas de diversos grupos, a saber, os ENEJAs (Encontro Nacional de Educação de Jovens e Adultos) e o GT 18 da ANPEd (Associação Nacional de Pós-graduação e Pesquisa em Educação). Nesses, são identificadas e problematizadas demandas em disputa na produção de políticas de currículo em EJA, que articuladas no processo de significação, tencionam constituir um discurso hegemônico no currículo voltado à EJA. É destacada, no processo de produção das políticas, a atuação das comunidades epistêmicas em diferentes contextos na tentativa de influenciar e hegemonizar determinados sentidos em torno da produção das políticas de currículo em EJA. Nesse sentido, as políticas de currículo são entendidas como discurso, o que implica abordar e problematizar discursos que circulam em diferentes contextos como atravessados por relações de saber-poder. Para tal, dialogamos com a teoria do discurso proposta por Ernesto Laclau, a abordagem metodológica do ciclo contínuo de políticas de Stephen Ball e a vertente analítica das comunidades epistêmicas. É argumentado que as políticas de currículo são produzidas em diferentes contextos, com o envolvimento de diferentes atores sociais. É defendido, ainda, com base na análise de diferentes documentos e das demandas, que possíveis discursos são constituídos em função da articulação de certas demandas tornadas equivalentes e que buscam hegemonizar determinados sentidos da/na política curricular da EJA. Apontamos ainda, a possibilidade de futuras investigações no campo das políticas de currículo em EJA.

Esta pesquisa analisa o processo de introdução das temáticas ambientais no currículo chileno no Segundo Segmento do Ensino Fundamental entre os anos 1996 e 2002. Foi considerado como início do processo de elaboração de um novo currículo (1996) a transformação da disciplina Ciências Naturalez em Estudio y Comprensión de la Natureza. O foco desta pesquisa está centrado nos Quinto, Sexto, Sétimo e oitavo ano de Ensino Fundamental, dirigido a alunos de 10 a 13 anos de idade. Defendo que incorporação do discurso da educação ambiental se insere no processo mais amplo de apropriação de discursos internacionais e dos novos objetivos do país retornando à democracia, com uma nova política de modernização. Para tal, foram investigados os decretos curriculares 40, 240, 232, os Objetivos Fundamentales (OF), Contenidos Mínimos Obligatorios (CMO) e Planes y Programas de estudio dos anos citados, revistas, páginas web e diversos documentos que permitiram entender a circulação de discursos referentes às temáticas ambientais e de modernização do país de volta à democracia. Como apoio às investigações feitas, foram entrevistadas, no atual país de residência o Chile, algumas pessoas relacionadas com esse processo de mudança, como Cristian Cox, Jacqueline Gysling, Jaime Cornejo, bem como foram investigadas organizações que tiveram influência nesse processo como a ?Casa de la Paz? e a Revista de História Natural. Foram utilizados os aportes teóricos de Ciclo de Políticas de Stephen Ball em relação ao processo de produção de políticas, com privilégio para a investigação dos Contextos de Influência e de Produção de Texto. Igualmente foram utilizados os aportes de Ivor Goodson referente à construção social das disciplinas escolares e à importância do contexto político, econômico e social e sua dinâmica gerada para a criação de determinadas políticas. Concluo que, ao mesmo tempo em que foram desenvolvidos objetivos integradores na nova disciplina, foi incorporada a demanda relacionada à renovação pedagógica, buscando centrar o processo de ensino na aprendizagem do aluno, privilegiando suas inquietudes e conhecimentos prévios, e tornando a disciplina mais ativa e exploratória. Nesse sentido é que defendo que a incorporação das temáticas ambientais, tanto evidencia o projeto de modernização do ensino, legitimado por discursos internacionais, como demonstra um tratamento local dessas questões: um desenvolvimento transversal e interdisciplinar, defendido por distintas comunidades disciplinares.

Esta tese apresenta o repertório de sentidos e significados que são produzidos no cotidiano da escola, a partir das práticas pedagógicas, que traduzem diferentes concepções e experiências individuais e coletivas, na perspectiva dos professores e professoras, alunos e alunas, permitindo compreender a natureza do processo de construção do currículo escolar fundado nas práticas pedagógicas e sua relação com o processo ensino-aprendizagem. Para tanto, realizamos uma pesquisa qualitativa de abordagem etnográfica com a adoção de procedimentos como a observação participante, a análise documental, a entrevista, dentre outros, para alcançar os objetivos dessa pesquisa. Os sujeitos deste estudo são professores, professoras, alunos e alunas do 7. ano de escolaridade de duas escolas que fazem parte da rede pública do Município São João de Meriti, na Baixada Fluminense Rio de Janeiro. O referencial teórico-metodológico, que subsidiou o presente estudo, tem como base a abordagem do ciclo de políticas proposto por Stephen Ball (1994) e Bowe;Ball;Gold (1992), na qual é evidenciada a importância da inter-relação dos contextos produtores do currículo escolar. Trabalhamos com o contexto da produção de textos, através da análise dos documentos emitidos no período 1999-2010 e o contexto da prática. Este trabalho tem, também, o aporte teórico de Sacristán (1998, 2000), Moreira (1990, 2001, 2003), Silva (1998, 2001, 2006, 2008), Lopes (2005, 2008a), Tura (2001, 2002, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2011), Bourdieu (1998, 1999), Foucault (1993, 2001), dentre outros. Para a análise dos dados empregamos a análise de conteúdo de Bardin (2004). O estudo revelou a complexidade do processo de construção do currículo no cotidiano escolar, tendo em vista que diferentes práticas e discursos são produzidos nos diversos contextos em que, da política proposta à política em uso (MAINARDES, 2006), emergem processos que são marcados pela recontextualização por hibridismo, de acordo com as análises de Ball (2000) e Lopes (2008a). Este estudo traz uma contribuição para os estudos no âmbito do currículo, podendo indicar possíveis caminhos para as políticas públicas na área de educação para o município de São João de Meriti.
