DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATION: SOME CRITICAL NOTES ON DEVELOPMENT IN INTERFACE WITH THE EDUCATIONAL FIELD

Abstract

The theme of this essay is part of the discussion on the relationships between development and the educational field, which are hegemonically established in the notion of causality. Our objective is to critically analyze the contradiction present in the conception of development that limits the subject to an instrument in the technical competence, being this a conditioning element for the expansion of the indicators of this development. Our central question is whether we would have the possibility of other forms of relations between development and education that could result in the management and planning of the State, in a critical conception beyond the relationship of cause and effect. The method used has as investigative proposition the field of critical theory, in the analysis of the concept of development in interface with the educational field. It is concluded that, when thinking about the development and the process of/training of the subject in relation to the educational field, we should find elements that could break with the concept of technical and neutral competence for a position of equality that implies it as a starting point to analyze the issue of the quality of the development of society.
