LIMA, Gabriela Pereira da Cunha  and  MENDES, Cláudio Lúcio. Curriculum, evaluation and the constitution of the teaching subject. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2016, vol.11, n.3, pp.714-735. ISSN 1809-4309.  https://doi.org/10.5212/PraxEduc.v.11i3.0011.

This paper analyzes in an articulated manner: a. the Minas Gerais State curriculum - Common Basic Content (CBC, Brazilian Portuguese abbreviation) - and b. the evaluation guidelines linked to it - Public Education Evaluation System of Minas Gerais (SIMAVE, Brazilian Portuguese abbreviation) from the understanding that neoliberal practices frame the curriculum and the evaluation within the economy perspective. The analysis approach takes neoliberalism as a government system in the Foucauldian sense, that is, one which produces processes of subjectivation on the teaching population in the State education system in Minas Gerais. Therefore, neoliberalism uses education aiming at preparing the individuals to the market, as an important mechanism of the Human Capital. Following this theoretical-methodological route, we investigated empirically the ongoing changes expressed in the official documents issued by the Minas Gerais State Education Secretariat (mainly those related to the CBC and SIMAVE). The results show the CBC as a proposal which is in tune with the Management Chock of the State Government from 2003 to 2014 which places the education in the State of Minas Gerais under regulating mechanisms of management and results, both in favor of the economy. The conclusion points to the articulation between CBC and SIMAVE acting as managerial and performing market practices through a number of powers and knowledges associated to it, making the curriculum proposal supposedly inseparable from such practices.

Keywords : Curriculum; Evaluation; Neoliberalism.
