O PROJETO PEDAGÓGICO DO CURSO TÉCNICO EM MEIO AMBIENTE INTEGRADO AO ENSINO MÉDIO: CAMINHOS PARA A CONCRETIZAÇÃO DA PROPOSTA DE CURRÍCULO INTEGRADO

Abstract

The subject of curricular organization in the field of professional and technological education is shrouded in complexity and conflicts of antagonistic interests. With regard to integrated secondary education, in the light of comprehensive human training, the ideal scenario is curricular integration, with a link between general knowledge and knowledge from the world of work. However, the recent changes that occurred due to the implementation of the new secondary education in Brazil ended up reducing the reach of this objective in the name of perpetuating the dualist education. The general objective of the study is to analyze whether the Pedagogical Project of the Technical Course in the Environment Integrated to High School of the IF Campus - Ceres demonstrates the expected success in achieving its purposes of Integrated Curriculum. The theoretical contributions of the study included autors such as Frigotto (2012), Moura (2012), Moura, Lima Filho and Silva (2015) and Ramos (2017). This is a bibliographical and exploratory research, supported by a case study focused on the curricular organization of the technical course on the environment at Campus Ceres. At first, data collection took place through the realization a semi-structured interview to 12 teachers (six from the common core and six from the technical core) and four managers of the aforementioned campus. The research practice showed that curricular integration in the environment course is not something consolidated, since problems related to teacher training, cultural barriers and lack of integration between the common and technical core are obstacles that prevent the consolidation of this integration. Given these detected gaps, an educational product was created, more precisely an e-book, whose content brings 10 suggestions for activities to be reproduced in integrated secondary education. The validation of the product occurred with the application of a questionnaire with eight teachers and two managers of Campus Ceres. The product was very well evaluated and it is hoped that this material will serve as a guide for teachers throughout Brazil to manage not only to teach their subjects articulated with other subjects, but also to promote citizen training, a primary objective in the field of professional and technological education.
