Analysis of public action instrumentation from the perspective of the actor-network theory: social technology and rural education in Rondônia
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article discusses the use of social technologies for the instrumentation of public action and the adoption of actor-network theory as support for relational analysis. In order that, a qualitative case study was carried out to analyze the adoption of pedagogy of alternation as an instrument for rural education policy in the state of Rondônia, Brazil. It was found that, although the state government wanted to define a standard model, the instrumentation of rural education was translated differently in different regions of the state, through public action that involved a broad actor-network. Concluding that, as a result of these multiple and different forms of sociotechnical instrumentation of public action, there is a greater demand for the opening of government actors to the relational dynamics of the process of construction of public policies.
