RESUMO

Among statements published by the Brazilian Federal Government as directions for high school teachers, we research tendencies for Mathematics teaching at High School. The analyzed directions are the High School Curricular Parameters, the PCNEM/99, its complement, the PCNEM+/02 and its posterior reformulation, the High School Curricular Directions/06, produced in accordance to the educational legislation subsequent to the LDB/96. Our objectives were: to establish possible relations between the analyzed statements and the actual thoughts; to understand the new proposals of Mathematics education into the political, economical and cultural current conjunctures; to analyze the production context of those statements. In our research, we combined two methodological references: Adumbrative Paradigm, by Carlo Ginzburg and the Hermeneutic of Thoroughness, by John B. Thompson. When raising the constituent tendencies elements we characterize one of them, amongst the possible interpretations, called for us Utilitarian Tendency, inserted in the Technical Rationality ideology. The theoretical reference that bases our interpretations is the Critical Theory, that denounces the technical rationality allied to the current political, social and economical sources of actual liberalism, as a way of thinking that makes uniform and homogeneous the behaviors and thoughts in the society, imposing the effectiveness of the technique in the standardization of the production of possession and knowledge, in some scopes of life, in favor of the reinforcement of the power of who controls the technique. We present also another possibility of analysis, done by Gottschalk (2000, 2008), with base on the concept language s games, by Wittgenstein. We conclude that is necessary to establish the criticism of the technique, with a study of a proposal to the Mathematics Teaching, defended by Ole Skovsmose, with a Critical Mathematic Education
