Abstract

The moral engineering of capitalism permeates not only the leading socioeconomic structures of the so-called postmodernity, but also impacts global educational models under a series of slogans that build, in parallel, an educational moral engineering. The notions of standardization, evaluation, quality, innovation, efficiency or certification have been consolidated as pedagogical flags of educational curricula and have threatened, for at least two decades, to perpetuate themselves hegemonically in policies and discourses on education throughout the world. This article reflects on the various causes and consequences of a project of labor and political domination in the social relations of education driven by a domesticating and bureaucratic neoliberal conception disguised as a progressive and democratic civilization
