El concepto de normalización: herramienta para la problematización en educación

Abstract

The task of philosophy consists in the creation of concepts that challenge what is taken for granted. From here in current monography it is shown how from the use of normalization concept, created by the philosopher Michel Foucault, it was possible to challenge the school. The above is made possible from construction of the following problems: First, politically docile and economically useful individuals are produced at school using disciplinary techniques. Second, from scholar population government and the use of means of appropriate channeling maintains that production. To account for this, it was performed a reconstruction of normalization concept from the piece “Discipline and Punish” and it interweaves with some research around the school. This exercise of analysis and reconstruction of the use of the concept opens a field in a question about the teaching of philosophy, while it has dealt with the historical and technical path of philosophizing and what arises from it. We assume what all philosophy lesson starts with the construction of problems, being these who remit when thinking for yourself, with which it is possible to take into consideration the "truths" that have been assumed. Thinking for problems allows one to think freely and perhaps it is that freedom of thought that leads us to live philosophically.
