Abstract

The neoliberal ideology and the social and educational changes constitute the references for this study which investigated indications of change in the teaching culture of secondary school teachers, mainly after the implementation of the educational reform in the state of São Paulo. Considering the training that teachers now receive and comparing it to their role in the past, it seems that the work has acquired a new specificity, resulting from the expansion of this work. Teachers seek to conciliate a role of affection and socialization with the teaching of specific contents and abandon the academic aspect as central. It was also observed that teachers acknowledge that there is a decrease in the requirements after the implementation of the Continued Progression in state schools. A decisive aspect was identified: besides the configuration of the “new” teaching culture there are indications of a serious process of deterioration of schools.
