HISTORICAL DETERMINATIONS ABOUT THE CURRICULUM-SCHOOL FAILURE RELATIONSHIP IN THE BRAZILIAN EDUCATIONAL CONTEXT

from lack to difference cultural

Abstract

This investigation aims to relate the curriculum field to studies on the phenomenon of school failure.. It comprises three sections oriented: i) to understanding the cultural lack theory, particularly in the 1960s and 1979s; ii) to the demarcation of the responses assumed by the North American curriculum theorists, both to the idea of the technical-linear curriculum and to the meaning deposited in the thesis of cultural lack; and iii) to the apprehension of a movement to update the cultural lack theory based on the cultural difference synthesis. It is concluded that the school disobligation thesis of the responsibility for school failure is shared by both theories investigated.
