EDUCATION AND TECHNOSCIENCE IN CONTEMPORARY BRAZIL: INVESTIGATIVE PERSPECTIVE TO CURRICULUM STUDIES

This paper presents a brief study of the relationship between education and Technoscience in contemporary Brazil. Initially, we examine the cultural conditions that operate in the insertion of these themes in contemporary practices in education. Next, we aim to establish a mapping of the main investigative trends in the area, using as a corpus dissertations and theses produced in Brazil between 2004 and 2009. Three investigative tendencies are prevalent: school practices, curricular and technology policies, and contemporary cultural dynamics and sociability. Finally, we seek to establish some investigative perspective in the field, as well as some investigative assumptions for the studies of school curricula and their contemporary policies.

Education; technoscience; curriculum studies.
