This article presents the synthesis of the results which have been obtained by the research on the Productive restructuring and new work ways: the new pedagogical project for the scientific-technological education. Such work has been financed by the South Plan of Research and Pos-graduation/CNPq/ Fundação Araucária, and it aims to outline the new dimensions that start making part of the competence category through the introduction of the microelectronic basis into the productive and social processes, focusing on the identification of the pedagogical principles that must guide the educative projects aiming the inclusion of the ones who live from the work.² Thus, the competence category will be discussed in the same way it has historically been built through the taylorist/fordist and toyotist ways of organizing and administrating the production, searching for the understanding of its limits and possibilities for a possible inclusion of the ones who live from the work, and outstanding the relationship between theory and practice and between tacit and scientific knowledge. Finally, the mediation function of the education in the setting up of articulations between work and knowledge will be pointed out.
