The production of knowledge in the Universities and the school reality: a critical analysis of the current model of society

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the current knowledge production in Universities and its reflections on society, specifically, at school. The University, a major producer of knowledge, becoming a social organization instead of a social institution has elected vital characteristics in the production of knowledge, for example, the structure of quantitative assessment of scientific publications. These reviews have contributed to the understanding that this science is considered not socially relevant and the understanding of a little transformative pedagogical practice, especially when this scientific content does not reach the schools or is not targeted to changing schools. Key-words: University, knowledge production, school.
