Curriculum Policy, Practices, and Knowledge

This work is the result of research that sought to analyze changes in teaching knowledge following the implementation of the Curriculum Proposal of the Municipal Department of Education of Irati/PR. It is organized into three chapters: Chapter I, "Public Education Policy: the Curriculum Proposal of the Municipal Department of Education of Irati/PR," discusses key concepts such as politics, public policy, social policy, and educational policy; state interference in policies; the curriculum as an intersection of practices; the recontextualization of Basil Bernstein's pedagogical discourse; and presents the Curriculum Proposal of the Municipal Department of Education of Irati/PR. Chapter II, entitled "Teaching Knowledge: From Continuing Education to Pedagogical Practice," involves debates on continuing education for teachers, teaching knowledge, and pedagogical practice. Chapter III, entitled "Voices Reached: teachers' discourses on changes in knowledge based on the Curriculum Proposal of the Municipal Secretary of Education of Irati/PR," argues that teaching knowledge is altered with the implementation of the Curriculum Policy and that change happens slowly in continuing education courses.
