Empreendedorismo de si e educação escolar : entre cartas e tramas.

Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the spread of entrepreneurship itself, in education, focusing on the elementary level of education in the schools of Centro Serra region of Rio Grande do Sul. With this purpose, the research questions were formulated: how entrepreneurship itself is present in elementary level of education? Schooling acts as a disseminator of a culture of entrepreneurship? Entrepreneurship itself can be thought of as a strategy of governance? To answer such questions, it was used the evidentiary method of Carlo Ginzburg for the empirical part of the research, which is also composed by the techniques of observation of lessons and sending letters to five teachers who work in public school of that region at the elementary level. For the record interpretations of letters and notices of classes, we used the field diary. From that, during the interpretation and analysis of data, we discuss the implementation and the development of neoliberal rationality in the field of school education in the Foucaultian perspective. The main focus is the dissemination of the form of business to other fields, not just economic, to demonstrate how it contributes to the spread fo this rationality by training subjects entrepreneurs themselves. For this, the theoretical and methodological tools were used Foucault – governmentality and entrepreneurship itself – as a basis for discussion, among others, Bauman, Pélbart, Dreyfus, Rabinow and Gadelha, who assist in discussion of contemporary society and government bodies. Therefore from these analyzes and authors, it was possible to bring search results to present themselves in entrepreneurship education from elementary school through teacher and student performance, the accumulation of human capital through investments in education, and self responsibility of teachers and students for their actions.l.
