RODRIGUES, Eduardo Santos Junqueira. Platform studies: dimensions and problems of the phenomenon in education. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2020, vol.26, e28150.  Epub 05-Ago-2020. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.26512/lc.v26.2020.28150.

The exploratory study aimed to analyze four platforms equipped with automated mechanisms for collecting data on user behavior and that are used increasingly in the didactic-pedagogical activities of schools and universities. The data collected by these platforms cover student performance in study activities and performance in tests, for alleged purposes of improving teaching, teaching performance and school management and are referenced by pre-established standards of efficiency and quality. The analysis demonstrated that these platforms operate inserted in the phenomena of datafication, commodification and surveillance capitalism. Its use expands to the detriment of a better understanding of its impacts on educational practices, in particular learning and the nature of public education.
