"O “Dever e a Moralidade” como lentes para a interpretação do direito à educação, no âmbito da política de inovação educação conectada"

Abstract

The present study has as its object the Connected Education Innovation Policy (CEIP), created by Decree No. 9,204/17 and converted into Law No. 14,180/21. It is a federal public policy, aimed at integrating the internet and other information and communication technologies (ICT) into the pedagogical context. From the adoption of the concepts of morality of duty and morality of aspiration, as a theoretical framework, and Document Analysis, as a technique, the research intends to answer whether the norms and actions implemented directly by the federal government, within the scope of the CEIP, and, in particular, related to the Ministry of Education (MEC), as the manager of this policy, have been shown to be compatible with its aspiration. After the selection, study and systematization of the data collected in a bibliographic and documentary survey, it was possible to infer that, although the Brazilian state has, in principle, a considerable accumulation of knowledge about the assumptions of a process of digital inclusion in schools, having even adopted a policy model compatible with this understanding, CEIP was instrumentalized and implemented basically as a connectivity policy. Furthermore, the research revealed that even with regard to improving network access infrastructure, CEIP was not able to overcome the social and regional inequalities existing in Brazil, on the contrary, reinforcing some of these asymmetries. In effect, the study concluded that the actions created and implemented directly by the federal government and, in particular, by the MEC, in its capacity as manager of the CEIP, were not compatible with the aspiration of promoting digital inclusion in Brazilian public education, which guarantees access to the internet and ICT, in conditions of equality and effective learning, in parallel with the construction of a critical and socially directed awareness of the role and risks of technology in contemporary society.
