Abstract

This dissertation project is affiliated with the Professional Master's Program in Professional and Technological Education - ProfEPT at the Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology – IFFAR Jaguari campus, and the Research and Studies Group on Curriculum, Management, and Educational Policies - GECPOL. In 2016, Brazil experienced a democratic rupture, and in the same year, significant changes were introduced in educational policies, particularly in high school education. In this context, the research problem is articulated through the following question: How might such profound reform in high school education system affect Brazilian education? Therefore, the general objective of this research was to uncover the texts and documents that regulate the New High School Education, aiming to analyze the hidden intentions within their productions. Specifically, the study aimed to understand the historical context that allowed for the approval of this Reform; to uncover the interests served by the profound changes that were established so rapidly; to identify the potential impacts these changes will have on the education of Brazilian youth; and to develop, as an educational product, an educational video with the intention of disseminating, in a more succinct way, the discoveries made during the research to the general public. T The methodology supporting the research was Discourse Analysis from the French school, as the study sought, through bibliographic research grounded in historical-dialectical materialism, to reveal the intentions behind the legal texts implementing the new documents. Finally, it was identified that the reformist policies post-2016 coup were designed to satisfy the interests of capital holders, promote a non-emancipatory education, and tend to deepen social inequalities.
