摘要：This text aims at presenting and problematizing some of the current ideas in the field of
curriculum in order to, starting from that, promote a reflection about other interpretative
possibilities of the relationships between human formation and the realm of work. In order to do
so, the theoretical exercise of this text departs from the presentation of the main resulting changes
of the education reform of the nineties, emphasizing the structural context in which the curricular
reform is situated. In what follows, I present and problematize the arguments present in the
National Curricular Guidelines and Parameters for secondary schools, something that characterize
the common sense present in the curriculum field. Finally, the character of human formation is
characterized as an object of social dispute, in which the curricular issues represent a conflicted
and disputed field, formed by a complex set of intentionalities and relationships that can configure
different formative horizons.
