The evaluation and mathematization of the subject. The you can in the pedagogical discourse

Abstract

The citizen training to which education responds, as Michel Foucault (1985) pointed out, requires generating docile and productive subjects who internalize and appropriate the requirements of capitalist society, naturalizing social mandates, as a logical product, but also corresponding to a natural order, to guarantee the proper functioning of the life system. In this context, evaluation has played an extraordinary role. Serving as a tool for institutional standardization and classification, it has had the function of legitimizing certain ideas that are instituting the capitalist system. Following these ideas, in this article, some theoretical perspectives are presented that allow us to delve into these questions, establishing a shift in traditional discourse, to enable a politic, critical and broad look at the subject.
