Abstract

The project aims to analyze the production of doxa related to professional education in Brazil. Doxic production must be understood as a set of questions that shows self-evident and that circumscribe the critic universe making communication possible. This analysis will be developed from the survey of what was written about professional education in the Veja magazine and in the journals Folha de S. Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo, in the period 2001-2011.
