New high school: a search for foundations in time of curriculum restructuring

Abstract

This paper intends to answer the following question: on what basis should education be developed in times of curricular restructuring? According to this central problem, we aim to present the main changes in the documents that legislate on the reformulation of education in our country and to present a defense of the importance of disciplinary boundaries. As a theoretical reference for the development of the work, it was used: Hannah Arendt, in: The crisis in education; Terry Shinn, in: Science production and diffusion regimes: towards a transversal organization of knowledge, Ronai Rocha: When no one educates, questioning Paulo Freire and Teaching Philosophy and Curriculum. As a theoretical basis on the study of curricular theory, we used André Chervel: History of school subjects and Michael Young: Knowledge and Curriculum. We defend that the school, to fulfill its role of educating, should not give up teaching. And, as the one who teaches and the one who teaches, must teach something, the foundations on which the educational act must be built, are called curricular components or disciplines.
