Volatility, complexity, and fluctuations of contemporary technological transformations and their impacts on the field of education

Editorial

Abstract

In this issue, the Revista Educação e Políticas em Debate brings together relevant discussions in its thematic dossier on platformization, the financialization of education, digital sovereignty, and the implications of these dynamics for teachers’ work and professional development. The dossier also features an interview that critically examines the thesis of the “end of work,” highlighting the perverse reconfiguration of capital, marked by intensified exploitation, precariousness, informality, and processes of uberization. These analyses are expected to contribute to deepening reflections on the uses of digital technologies and educational platforms in the context of disputes over digital sovereignty and persistent educational inequalities. The issue also includes articles from the continuous submission section addressing the reform of the New Secondary Education model, teacher training and professional practice, neoliberal reforms, and the expansion of professional and technological education, among other highly relevant discussions for the field of education and public policy.
