Platformization, financialization of education, and digital sovereignty: the question of work and teacher formation

Presentation

Abstract

This dossier gathers national and international research that analyzes the relationships between education and digital network technologies, with a focus on the processes of platformization, financialization of education, and digital sovereignty. Composed of 23 articles and one interview, it is organized into three thematic axes: “Digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and teaching work: automation, precariousness, and resistance”; “Public policies: privatization of education, control and surveillance mechanisms for teachers, and deintellectualization of teachers”; and “Technology in the mediation of formative processes: distance education, hybrid education, and related topics.” The texts demonstrate that the disputes surrounding technology are, in essence, political, ideological, and class-based, configuring a paradigm of regulation and subordination of work and teacher training to the logic of capital. They also reveal gaps and resistances that emerge from critical pedagogical practices, research, and the collective organization of education workers.
