This article is characterized as a critical study of the discourse of increasing competence in the educational field, specifically in the 1990s. The concept reveals a transition from qualified training to competent training, characterized as flexibility and mobilization of knowledge to perform tasks. The objective was to develop in the discourse analysis of education the historical restructuring of competence. Through a critical analysis methodology, the theory of Phillipe Perrenoud, the main theorist in the pedagogical line of competence, was problematized, the influences of this theoretical matrix in educational methodologies. With this research, the progression of knowledge and skills of the student and a future worker is correlated to what the teacher, in the individual, evaluates as relevant to the social.Thus, the educational system adopts a market logic to seek to make possible an academic formation linked to the discourse of the capacities and skills of the citizen to act competently and effectively in the labor market.
