MIRANDA, Marília Gouvea de  e  SANTOS, Soraya Vieira. Propostas de tempo integral: a que se destina a ampliação do tempo escolar?. Perspectiva [online]. 2012, vol.30, n.03, pp.1073-1098. ISSN 0102-5473.

The article strives to understand and discuss the principles underlying the proposed extension of school hours in Brazilian public school systems. The study is a development of an earlier work (SANTOS, 2009) which analyzed the arguments most frequently used to justify the proposals for full-time schooling found in the country. With these justifications as a reference, the article discusses two trends in the arguments that defend the establishment of fulltime schooling networks in Brazil. Firstly, the discourse of the full-time school as a means to reduce social risk, as the school incorporates responsibilities for social care. Secondly, the extension of school time involves the work of volunteers and of incorporating new environments both in and outside the school. Finally, the paper discusses possible implications of the policy of extending school time in operation in Brazil, and highlights the risks of distorting the social role of the school and of reducing state responsibility for basic education.
