A disciplina no Instituto Federal: reflexões a partir de Foucault e da Psicologia Escolar Crítica

Abstract

This essay presents a reflection on the discipline in the context of the Federal Institute of Triângulo Mineiro (IFTM). The work was written based on the experience in the position of student assistant, the various rules and regulations of the institution and the thinking of philosopher Michel Foucault regarding disciplinary power. It sought to present how the institution disciplines the relationship of bodies with the school space, school time and school activities and some aspects of the functioning of the mechanisms of surveillance, punishment and evaluation of students, highlighting the disciplinary techniques and tensions resulting from this process of domination which are expressed in the family-school and teacher-student relationships through indiscipline. It was concluded with understandings, perceptions and possibilities regarding the knowledge and practices related to School and Educational Psychology in a Critical Perspective that supported reflections and proposals for the context of the institution, aiming at the constitution of other forms of relationships that can destabilize the power regimes instituted to build new regimes of affection, mechanisms that enable presence, collective construction of coexistence rules, collective responsibility for educational acts and valuing of pedagogical knowledge.
