Processos e práticas de educação e formação. Para uma análise da realidade portuguesa em contextos de globalização
Abstract
In a critical analysis of the recent education processes and practices, defined by the European Union's agenda and that of other organisms, we have placed at the centre of the debate the relation between globalization, knowledge and curriculum, so as to highlight the changes on the level of the formal, non formal and informal education to the curriculum study. We underline the fact that the education and training policies are complex processes of decision, dependent on different and intertwined territorialities with the objective of affirmatively respond to a broader economic-social change. It is based on this structuredlogic of political decision that we situate the curriculum's study in the context of globalized policies, on the one hand, and national policy, on the other hand, recognising the fact that both are edified around knowledge.
