          Abstract

          A questão "para que servem as escolas?" expressa tensões e conflitos de interesses na sociedade mais ampla. O autor ressalta que existe uma ligação entre desejos emancipatórios associados com a expansão da escolarização e a oportunidade das escolas em oferecer aos alunos a aquisição do "conhecimento poderoso". Discute a "diferenciação do conhecimento" como um modo de distinção entre conhecimento escolar e não-escolar. As formas contemporâneas de avaliação tendem a diluir as fronteiras entre conhecimento escolar e não-escolar, uma vez que inibem um currículo mais acessível e mais relevante economicamente. O autor baseia-se na análise de Bernstein para sugerir que seguir esse caminho pode equivaler a negar as condições para adquirir "conhecimento poderoso" para os alunos que já são desfavorecidos pelas suas condições sociais. Resolver essa tensão entre demandas políticas e realidades educacionais é uma das maiores questões educacionais do nosso tempo.

          Translated abstract

          The question "What are schools for?" expresses tensions and conflicts of interests within the wider society. The author points out that there is a link between the emancipatory hopes associated with the expansion of schooling and the opportunity that schools provide for learners to acquire "powerful knowledge". He argues that "knowledge differentiation" is a form of distinction between school knowledge and non-school knowledge. The contemporary assessment forms tend to blur the boundaries between school knowledge and non-school knowledge, since they inhibit a more accessible and economically relevant curriculum. The author draws on Bernstein's analysis to suggest that to follow this path may be to deny the conditions for acquiring powerful knowledge to the pupils who are already disadvantaged by their social circumstances. Resolving this tension between political demands and educational realities is one of the major educational questions of our time.
