O mundo do trabalho em livros didáticos de projeto de vida para o ensino médio

Abstract

Purpose of life is a recurrent human action in our collective and individual history. It involves, from the present, anticipating what can occur in our lives, in our research, in our society. Recently, the term purpose of life has emerged through discussions promoted in the process of creating and implementing the common curricular national basis (BNCC). We understand that a purpose of life is a set of goals, desires and dreams that are interconnected, producing a kind of prior path to the subjects - a kind of compass. The world of work is understood as the set of social relations between human beings, institutions and nature. We adopt an ontological conception of work, considering that work is a producer of our cultural and social relations. We have placed as the object of this study the world of work in didactic works to purpose of life and we objectified to characterize the forms by which projects of "purpose of life", recommended under the PNLD 2021, incorporate discussions on the world of work. The research problem in the interrogative form has the following wording: Which relationships are often established between the world of work and the process of elaborating high school students' projects in projects "purpose of life" recommended under the PNLD 2021? As a way to operationalize research actions, we deploy the problem on specific and minor issues, namely: 1) What specific aspects about the world of work are presented in projects recommended in the PNLD edict 2021; 2) What guidelines for teachers about elaboration of life project, involving the world of work, are usually included in these works? and 3) What types of didactic activities, involving the world of work, are proposals in these works to assist students in the elaboration of their purpose of life? The nature of the research is qualitative, insofar as we will be immersed in the following processes: a) Elaboration of the PNLD edict 2021; b) Production of didactic books and c) analysis of the content of the works. We opted for the founded theory of data (TFD) as a general methodological guidance and are based on methodological contributions of Tarozzi (2011) and Charmaz (2009). The treatment of information will be carried out through coding, based on Charmaz (2009) and Bardin (2011). Because of our interest in the characterization of the recommended within the framework of the PNLD 2021, we choose the document mode as a priority source. Thus, the documents selected to compose this research are the didactic works recommended by the PNLD edict of 2021, in specific "purpose of life". To analyze these documents, we construct a textual (RAT) script for "Purpose of Life" (LDPV) textbooks. We found that there are two categories that establish connections between the Purpose of Life subject and the world of work: 1) Defining criteria for choosing the professional future and 2) Understanding the society in which we live. We conclude that there are three ways in which didactic works incorporate the subject World of work: 1) Articulation between the information society and changes in professions; 2) Identification of interests/motivations and their articulation with the creation of objectives linked to the World of Work and 3) Entrepreneurship as a set of attitudes for the students' Purpose of Life. We highlight the diversity of perspectives existing in the analyzed books, but with a tendency to avoid problematic themes regarding the World of Work, such as overexploitation of workers and the increase in the difficulties of obtaining decent work. We also concluded the continuity of a business oligopoly that has been receiving considerable sums of public money to prepare books and teaching materials.
