RESUMEN: Utilizando la nueva Ley que Crea el Sistema Nacional de Desarrollo Profesional Docente en Chile como caso, se explora cómo las actuales políticas educativas refuerzan a la clase media profesional y gerencial en el país promoviendo un currículo “legítimo”. La estandarización y la medición ocupan un rol fundamental al respecto controlando el desarrollo profesional de los profesores. También se exploran algunas tareas críticas necesarias para contrarrestar estos efectos.

RESUMO: Este artigo analisa as tentativas de padronização do currículo e da formação de professores no Brasil que, dentro de um processo de ampliação do controle sobre o trabalho docente, se relacionam à crescente penetração na educação de um ideário produzido no campo empresarial. Conclui-se que a padronização da formação docente termina sendo secundarizada, uma vez que o professor, no exercício de suas atividades, sofre diferentes formas de controle que, inexoravelmente, levam a padronizações do trabalho docente em escolas que seguem o currículo nacional e as avaliações sistêmicas.

Abstract in English:

ABSTRACT: This article seeks to analyze the attempts at standardizing the curriculum and teacher education in Brazil, within a process of expansion of control over teaching work, related to the increasing influence in education of ideas produced in the business field. The findings show that the standardization of teacher education ends up being sidelined, since teachers in the exercise of their activities suffer different forms of control that inexorably lead to standardization of teaching work in schools that follow the national curriculum and standardized tests.

RESUMEN: Este artículo aborda las tensiones político-educativas subyacentes al Sistema de Medición de la Calidad de la Educación (SIMCE), visibilizando su rol preponderante para consolidar el mercado educacional en Chile. Se desarrollan las críticas contra esta medición nacional, destacando el rol de la Campaña Alto al SIMCE para repensar esta medición, instando a transitar desde una noción de calidad orientada al mercado, reproductora de una sociedad neoliberal, hacia una evaluación educacional que promueva la justicia social, democracia e inclusión.

Abstract in English:

ABSTRACT: This article highlights educational and political tensions underlying the Chilean Education Quality Measurement System (SIMCE), which has played a crucial role in creating a free-market educational system. The main criticisms about this high-stake test are explained side-to-side the Alto al SIMCE Campaign, to rethink assessment. This way, we foster a shift from a notion of quality oriented to the market, reproducing a neoliberal society, to an educational assessment to promote social justice, democracy and inclusion.

Abstract in Spanish:

RESUMEN: Para que la escuela y la educación dejen de ser valoradas desde las matrices históricas que le permitieron amplificar y (re) crear vínculos vitales de existencia junto al Otro; se torna necesario entonces imponer mecanismos políticos, culturales, mediáticos y económicos capaces de naturalizar y reproducir colectivamente, aquella negación. El presente trabajo interrogará acerca de los procesos de construcción y configuración que “van por” el significante docente como punto de partida “a priori” para disciplinar la escuela y sus maestras, por medio de su (de) evaluación.

Abstract in English:

ABSTRACT: If we were to depreciate School and the education from its historically matrices that let us amplify and (re) create vital linkages of existence with the Other, it must then be necessary to try to impose political, cultural, media and also economics mechanisms as well which let us naturalize its own negation. The aim of this paper is to ask about the economical and ideological processes of configuration that “came for” the teacher significant as an a priori starting point for disciplining Schools and their teachers through their (de) evaluation.
