Aspectos da plataformização educacional na educação básica brasileira

a “Escola do Cansaço” na era do Big Data

Abstract

We live in the unfolding of what Manuel Castells (2005) named Network Society, whose core are Information Technologies (TIs). He indicated the key features of the new scenario that he diagnosed, namely, technologies that act on information itself and that also introduced the logic of networks; that promote technological convergence and therefore, a highly integrated system of technical apparatuses; and that sharply penetrate the different social processes and spheres. Since then, we have witnessed great and rapid technological leaps as well as the consolidation of transformations in the organizational and institutional economic-political dynamics and in the construction of human and non-human lives on the planet. These changes have reached not only informal modes of learning, but also formal education. The aim of this article is to discuss current aspects of the use of digital platforms in education present in Brazilian basic education, with reference to the teaching of Philosophy in High School. To this end, we will reflect on the platformization of education, business model present in the current phase of capitalism and that uses the platforms supported by AI, and also the constant extraction of data from those who transit through the Information Highway of cyberspace; about what we name as School of Fatigue, in dialogue with the concept of Burnout Society developed by Byung Chul Han; and on some implications arising that are already present in the administration of teaching work, in teaching practice and teaching-learning relations.
