State acts and educational evaluation systems in the Amazon

Abstract

The text reflects on Pierre Bourdieu's symbolic materialism as a way to understand the actions of the State, relating these actions to the evaluation policies adopted by the educational systems of the state of Amazonas, when considering its construction and its dilemmas in the face of globalization of education. The study in question has the character of a theoretical essay, as it aims to present arguments and ideas about the relationship between State acts and the analyzed evaluation systems, through the Critical Sociology approach. The dilemmas of evaluating education in the Amazon in the face of globalization are directly related to the policy models for evaluating educational systems adopted by the State and Municipal Departments of Education, in which public institutions assume the role of executors rather than protagonists and idealizers. of evaluation policies. Valuing the education of the peoples of the Amazon therefore involves the creation of evaluation and education policies that respect our social and cultural diversity and that prioritize our Amazonian identity.
