Abstract

MUELLER, Rafael Rodrigo. The new (old) educational paradigm for the 21st Century. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 2017, vol.47, n.164, pp.670-686. ISSN 1980-5314.  https://doi.org/10.1590/198053143906.

The main objective of this study is to analyze the paradox found in the relationship between work and education based on the documents of the Programa para a Avaliação Internacional das Competências dos Adultos [Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies] - PAICA - of the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development - OECD. We intend to demonstrate how, historically, the multilateral organizations have been using old “tools” (programs and/or pedagogical proposals) to solve new “problems” (vocational training). Our thesis is that education has been, in general, historically transformed and minimized into a set of aptitudes and skills focused only on getting a job and, consequently, has lost its primary function in terms of human development.

Keywords : Programa para a Avaliação Internacional das Competências dos Adultos - PAICA; Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico - OCDE; Work; Education.
