Abstract

This text seeks to examine the modern modes of shaping the teaching practice in High School education. This investigation focuses on how particular economies operating in this process, affirmed by the centrality of technoscientific knowledge and political dynamics of the cognitive capitalism, constitute particular strategies to govern the conducts of contemporary teachers in the High School courses. The magazine Carta na Escola from 2005 to 2010 was the one we have chosen for this study. From a theoretical point of view, we have used the Foucauldian concept of governmentality, as a way to investigate economies regulating particular practices. The shaping of the teaching practices starts with the perspective that, from a disposition of teaching knowledge and mobilisation of a set of strategies, innovation is regarded as a continuous teaching attitude. Therefore we understand that three strategies work in this innovative teaching practice: the modernity privilege; the inventiveness challenge; and the voluntary attitude.
