Abstract

Licenciature degree is one of the main forms of access to higher education that make up teachers. The teacher is the great agent of the educational process and his work reverts to the good of society, thus having a prominent role in education. Thus, this dissertation presents as a research problem: are the egresses from the Federal Institute Goiano's licenciature courses working professionally in the specific academic training area? Thus, the present study aims to identify if the students egresses of the licenciature courses from the IF Goiano are working professionally in the specific academic training area. The methodology used was an exploratory study with quantitative research. It covered 137 egresses from the 2013 and 2014 classes of the degree courses in mathematics, pedagogy, biological sciences and chemistry of the IF Goiano. Of these, 93 egresses, who correspond to the research sample, answered questionnaires sent. This work used bibliographical and documentary research, and in obtaining data, employed primary and secondary data. As a data collection tool, this survey used electronic questionnaires of the Google Forms containing open, closed and multiple choice questions that will be sent by e-mail to the egresses. Subsequently, the data obtained were tabulated automatically by the Google tool itself, in a spreadsheet, when the respondents completed the questionnaires. As a result, it was identified that the egresses of the licenciature courses of IF Goiano are not working as a teacher after the course is finished, since a significant majority of these graduates are not currently working within their professional training area; were identified the reasons that made these egresses to study a licenciature; and were investigated and returned as the direction of these egresses in relation to the teaching career. Therefore, after analyzing the results of the research, it is suggested that the institution work together with the State and private initiative to develop actions and policies in order to promote a better use of this workforce that is qualifying through licenciature courses, but has not been finding space in the labor market; is closer to primary schools, especially public schools located in the municipalities where IF Goiano campuses are located, with a view to greater integration with these schools, in order to promote a better use of their graduates; invest in actions and activities with the objective of presenting to students of licenciature courses, at the beginning of the course, topics related to the teaching career, the possibilities of employment in the area, the teacher's job market, the post-formed reality, and other related matters; invest in actions aimed at enhancing the teaching profession both among the graduates and in the local community; and expand the actions aimed at accompanying the egress after leaving the institution.
