Os poderes comparativos dos números e o conhecimento antecipado do número na educação

• This article presents notes on the role of numbers in the construction of subjects, schools and educational policies, also about what they are and what they should be. Understanding numbers as social constructions, a type of socially validated language based on scientific studies, reflections are raised on how numbers catalyze objective and subjective restructuringin educational systems and in their subjects, in a global perspective, due to large-scale international assessments. Numbers enabled new paradigms of comparison between national school systems, which are no longer focused on comprehensive aspects, to emphasize competitive and hierarchical aspects, such as large-scale international assessmentsand the numbers that they provide give new senses for what education is and what it should be. © 2020 Curriculo sem Fronteiras.
