SILVA, Roberto Rafael Dias da. Community as a space for educational intervention: a study of teaching in high school. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2014, vol.19, n.59, pp.945-966. ISSN 1413-2478.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S1413-24782014000900007.

This paper deals with the contemporary modes of teaching in high schools in Brazil. The research was focused on examining social security, as an instrument of government, in regulating the conduct of high school teachers, producing a pedagogy that takes the protection of communities as a privileged space for intervention. The magazine Carta na Escola, in their publications between the years 2005 and 2010, used investigative material for this study. The management of collective risks and self-induced fear were the strategies examined. According to the Foucauldian Studies, it is concluded that the delivery of community teaching involves the triggering of governance practices that aim qualified intervention in high school with values of environmental sustainability and social justice, providing teaching which is politically useful and socially relevant.
