Qual o futuro do trabalho, em geral, e do trabalho acadêmico nas universidades públicas, em particular? A pandemia do coronavírus nos levou a pensar nas mazelas sociais decorrentes de uma sociedade capitalista focada tão somente na intensificação do lucro e na exploração sem limites do capital, assim como na destruição do estado com pendor mais social e no consumo desmedido que agride e destrói o meio ambiente. Este livro certamente nos ajudará a refletir sobre os rumos e sentidos do trabalho, em geral, e da profissão docente no magistério superior no Brasil e, agora, de um mundo que se depara com desafios humanitários diversos. A "Série Políticas Públicas" que suscita tema...
Ao mesmo tempo que coloca novos questionamentos, a obra nos mostra que o ser humano é complexo e multidimensional, isso deve ser levado em consideração também quando a questão é a formação docente no contexto educacional brasileiro. O livro apresenta um tema de grande relevância para a compreensão das disputas envolvendo a formação docente para o ensino profissional, assim como para discutir a dualidade no processo educacional a partir de uma perspectiva histórica, mostrando a forte hierarquização presente na sociedade e as estratégias, via educação, para a manutenção da hegemonia.

An expert perspective on 21st century education What can you learn on a cell phone? Almost anything! How does that concept fit with our traditional system of education? It doesn’t. Best-selling author and futurist Marc Prensky’s book of essays challenges educators to “reboot” and make the changes necessary to prepare students for 21st century careers and living. His “bottom-up” vision includes students’ ideas about what they need from teachers, schools, and education. Also featured are easy-to-do, high-impact classroom strategies that help students acquire “digital wisdom.” This thought-provoking text is organized into two sections that address: Rethinking education (including what and how we teach and measuring learning) 21st century learning and technology in the classroom (including games, YouTube, and more)
Taking a practical, managerial-oriented approach, this text stresses how information technology provides solutions to organisational problems and challenges, and emphasises the innovative use of information technology.
This book builds upon Stephen J Ball's previous work in the field of education policy analysis. It subjects the ongoing reforms in UK education to a rigorous critical interrogation. It takes as its main concerns the introduction of market forces, managerialism and the National Curriculum into the organization of schools and the work of teachers. Ball argues that these reforms are combining to fundamentally reconstruct the work of teaching, to generate and ramify multiple inequalities and to destroy civic virtue in education. The effects of the market and management are not technical and neutral but are essentially political and moral. The reforms taking place in the UK are both a form of cultural and social engineering and an attempt to recreate a fantasy education based upon myths of national identity, consensus and glory. The analysis is founded within policy sociology and employs both ethnographic and post-structuralist methods.
