O aporte da neurociência na concepção de desenvolvimento humano da fundação Maria Cecília Souto Vidigal: uma análise crítica
Abstract
Given the prominent presence of the Maria Cecilia Souto Vidigal Foundation (FMCSV) in the political and educational field of São Paulo, it is essential to understand its origins, movements, proposals for education and the theoretical bias that underpins its projects. Thus, after a scientific initiation research in which we understood that the conception of human development of this foundation is based on the assumptions of neuroscience, the objective of this final course work was to understand what the so-called neurosciences are and what they are within the area of education. Based on a documentary analysis and under the assumptions of Historical-Cultural Psychology, based on Historical-Dialectical Materialism, it was found that this is a very broad area of knowledge that has been increasingly branching out within the human sciences. We understand the need for neuroscientific studies, but we emphasize the importance of not understanding them dislocated from the social reality that produces them so as not to run the risk of falling into organicist explanations for human development and learning. We also understand that the FMCSV aims to train human beings useful to the capitalist process, which requires the observation that the neuroscientific arguments present in the analyzed documents corroborate the international neoliberal and market-oriented agenda. The research proves that there is a movement in the educational field, promoted by the private sector, to maintain the neoliberal nature of Brazilian society.
