The Diagnosis Epidemic and the Medicalization of Education: challenges to teacher training and performance
Vol. 7 No. 15 (2020)It is with great satisfaction that we present to readers the fifteenth edition of Movimento – Revista de Educação of the Graduate Program in Education and the Faculty of Education of the Fluminense Federal University. This issue includes the dossier entitled The Epidemic of Diagnoses and the Medicalization of Education: challenges to teacher education and performance, in addition to eight manuscripts submitted in continuous flow.
This dossier aims to analyze the epidemic of mental illnesses engendered by the trivialization of the use of medicines. This trivialization has been manifested in diagnoses, medical reports, and prescription of medications for children and adolescents, which implies the deformation of subjectivities and leads to deterioration of the subject's life, either within the family or in the school space. In addition to this aspect, the trivialization of the use of medicines, according to Professor Fernanda Insfran and Professor Jacqueline de Souza Gomes - organizers of the dossier - have justified the absence of pedagogical practices aimed at concrete subjects, often stigmatized in the school space by the use of medicines.
In this sense, the manuscript of Maria Angélica Augusto de Mello Pisetta, entitled Medicalization and university discourse: for a policy of care and listening to the subject in education, which precedes this Presentation, problematizes the imperatives of medical discourse in education – from school to university – as a device of control and exclusion of the subject – which are manifested in the demands of medicalization of so-called mental and learning disorders, as well as the economic and political conditions that determine this phenomenon.

55 years of Graduate Studies in Brazil
Vol. 7 No. 14 (2020)This year 2020 marks 55 years of Post-Graduate Programs, counted from Opinion Legal Sucupira (Opinion CFE nº 977/65). Over the years, the university in general and the Post-Graduate Program have undergone significant changes with regard to their autonomy, forms of funding, duration of courses and training of qualified personnel. At the same time, the conversion of research into a systematic activity, with the purpose of respondingto the process of internationalization of the economy/labor/technology, propitiated the development and solidification of the National System of Science, Technology and Innovation. It also called for the organization of an articulated education system, composed of universities, schools, colleges and isolated institutes, institutes linked to universities and institutions of scientific and technological professional training of higher education. In this sense, all areas of knowledge, Exact and Earth Sciences, Engineering, Health Sciences, Agrarian Sciences, Human Sciences, Applied Social Sciences, Linguistics, Letters and Arts, have been giving answers to this process of modification that has occurred since then, being education transversal to all of them.
In this context, we present to readers the fourteenth edition, a Special Edition, of the Movement – Education Journal of the Post-Graduate Program in Education and the Faculty of Education of the Fluminense Federal University.
