The discursive practice of high skills in mathematics

Research about high skills is being developed in the field of psychology. However, this paper aims to analyze this issue from a Post-Structuralist perspective. From this understanding, high skills in mathematics are a speech that positions the subject as a bearer of high skills, and thus, we can analyze, according to Foucault, the discursive practices that reproduce the truths which constitute such skills and their school subjects. For this reason, this paper addresses the issues of standardization - based in strategies of power/knowledge/truth that are presented in the discursive practices - that are linked to the identification activities and educational enrichment of school subjects.
