APROFUNDANDO A INTERIORIZAÇÃO DA EDUCAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL TECNOLÓGICA DO IF GOIANO CAMPUS CERES: IMPACTOS VIVIDOS POR EGRESSOS DE GUARINOS

Abstract

Since its constitution in 2008, the Federal Institutes (FIs) have been expanding the number of courses and vacancies in Professional Education, promoting local and regional development in the perspective of internalization of the Federal Network. Its social function is centered on enabling the social and cultural insertion of young people from the working class, enabling an integral, emancipatory human formation and contributing to the reduction of social inequalities. Based on this perspective of interiorization and inclusion of young people from small municipalities that are located far from the FI, the general goal of this research is to investigate the insertion of students from the municipality of Guarinos in Integrated High School (IHS) and in technical courses at the Goiano FI – Campus Ceres. From the methodological point of view, the study carried out had a qualitative approach and was built in four chapters. In the first, the concepts that supported the study were discussed: education, work, expansion and internalization of the FIs, and integral human formation, highlighting the conceptual-theoretical formulations developed by Acácia Kuenzer, Gaudêncio Frigotto, Maria Ciavatta and Marise Ramos. The second chapter presents the bibliographic review that was carried out on the platforms EduCapes and Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (DLTD), analyzing dissertations on the expansion and internalization of FIs. The third chapter corresponds to documentary and field research. The documentary research was developed through tables and graphs that proved which are the municipalities served by the institution, and the origins of the housing of the students who reside in the institution's accommodation, and finally in the field research, interviews with three managers of the Goiano FI Campus took place. Ceres, the municipal education manager of Guarinos, the two graduates and the IHS student and the focus group technique with the four graduates of subsequent technical courses. After the data collection a triangulation with the concepts discussed in the Introduction was made, and a bibliographic survey creating categories according to the objectives proposed by the research. The contextualization and unveiling of the data obtained through the narratives ellaborated by the enrolled and graduated students and managers of Goiano FI - Campus Ceres and the city of Guarinos (GO). It argues about the importance of the campus for the development of São Patrício Valley, addresses the advantages and experiences in technical courses, the difficulties of studying on campus, the reasons why young people from Guarinos do not participate in the selection processes, and the main changes that have occurred in their lives after completing the technical course. All stages of the construction and validation of the documentary are presented: Stories and victories at the EPT: narratives of walks through the technical courses of Goiano FI – Campus Ceres. The study confirmed the assumption of the research, since one of the greatest difficulties to attend a technical course at Campus Ceres is the fact of having to change cities, lack of dissemination in the state schools of Guarinos of the courses, lack of knowledge of the benefits that can be acquired through student assistance, and lack of information about the quality of the courses offered at the institution.
