Historical approach about Pedro II school and technical-administrative in education:
The current study presents a bibliographic survey of the studies on the topic of Pedro II school and the Technical-Administrative in Education, especially the history of the performance of these subjects in the institution. To this end, we conducted a search for articles published between 2005 and 2020, at the Bank of Theses and Dissertations of Capes, Google Acadêmico and Scielo, using the descriptors “Colégio Pedro II and Technical-administrative in education”, “Colégio Pedro II and PCCTAE ”and“ Colégio Pedro II and Lei 11.091 / 2005 ”and their writing variants, with the purpose of investigating how the theme is worked on in the results obtained. Only one study portrayed the history of a specific career in the Career Plan (PCCTAE). This result highlights the scarcity of theoretical studies on the subject, evidencing an invisibility of the contribution and importance of these subjects in and to the institutional history of CPII and in the educational formation process both within the institution and in terms of research interest.

THE PRODUCTION OF CONCRETE MIXTURE AS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY PRACTICE IN THE TECHNICAL COURSE IN BUILDINGS INTEGRATED TO HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION AT IFMT CAMPUS VÁRZEA GRANDE
This article presents and discusses an interdisciplinary practice using the production of concrete mix, a widely used material in civil construction. Therefore, it was based on the interaction and dialogues between the subjects of the Common Core (Mathematics, Physics and IT) and the Professional Curriculum (Civil Construction Materials and Quality in Civil Construction –PBQP-H) of the technical course in Building Construction integrated to High School of the IFMT – Várzea Grande campus. In order to achieve this goal, the following question was proposed: how can laboratory tests for the production of concrete mixtures and molding of specimens be adopted as a form of applying interdisciplinarity in Integrated High School? It was necessary to discuss the aspects and conceptions of Interdisciplinarity; then, the content and possible interactions between disciplines using the course's current Pedagogical Project (PPC) were identified, and, finally, an Educational Product (EP), which is an Orientation Guide, was developed. The research has an applied nature, with a qualitative approach; as for the objectives, it is characterized as descriptive, and it used two questionnaires for data collection. The three EP Interdisciplinary Workshops enabled student protagonism in the teaching-learning process, reduction of curricular fragmentation and the increment of students' Integrated Education.

THE PEDAGOGY OF SKILLS AS A RESIGNIFICATION OF HUMAN CAPITAL:
It treats of the influences which the Pedagogy of Competences still carries on the pedagogical practices of teachers from a senior high school in the city of Macapa. We did a case study in which the participants were 08 (eight) senior high school teachers. We using the data collection instrument was a semi-structured interview and the content analysis was the technique used for data analysis. The hypothesis that we brought was that the notion of the competences remain as an ideology that influences the pedagogic practice of the school teachers. We characterized the pedagogical practices of the school teachers from of educational planning, teaching and teaching content. From the same we identified that the planning considers the flexibility as reference and idea considers the teaching contents as a central element. We concluded that there is no direct relationship between teaching practices and pedagogy of competences, but from this case prevails a pragmatic ideas as a logical guide for teaching practices. Keywords: pedagogy of competences; teaching practice. pragmatism; high school; Macapá.

The prevention of environmental risks using Google Earth in Geography and Science classes in Elementary School 2
The present study aimed to address the importance of applying technological resources in the teaching of Geography and Science, with the purpose of preventing deaths caused by landslides. To this end, the software Google Earth was used for a case study conducted in Morro do Bumba, where a major landslide occurred in 2010, resulting in loss of life. The objective of this study is to train teachers working in educational institutions in the state of Rio de Janeiro on the effectiveness of using these resources in the classroom. The research methodology is of a basic nature, with exploratory and explanatory objectives, a quali-quantitative approach, a hypothetical-deductive method, and bibliographic and case study procedures. The results obtained in this study confirmed the problem situation through a questionnaire and discussed the use of Google Earth Pro in classroom environments. This concept was presented to the teachers who participated in the research, and they approved this new method as an effective approach for analyzing slope risk areas.

Lecture by Prof. Marise Nogueira Ramos at the Closing of the 8th PROFEPT Seminar
The lecture by Prof. Dr. Marise Nogueira Ramos, moderated by Prof. Michele Waltz Comarú, took place during the closing session of the VIII ProfEPT Seminar at Pedro II school, Tijuca campus, in Rio de Janeiro. In her talk, the speaker addressed holistic human development and the challenges of research in Professional and Technological Education (EPT). Marise drew from her personal journey to reflect on how life experiences - especially within the working class and technical education - shape one’s understanding of the school’s role in human formation. She emphasized the importance of labor as an educational principle, linking Marxist assumptions about the production of material, symbolic, and social existence as a foundation for thinking about education. The professor criticized the dominance of exact sciences and the fragmentation of knowledge imposed by technicist educational models, such as those in Law 5692/71 and Decree 2208/97. She advocated for a polytechnic and all-encompassing approach to education. Marise called for the integration of nature and society as a historical unity, proposing that schools should enable students to critically engage with both natural and social laws. For her, comprehensive human development is also an ethical issue, as society already possesses the means to achieve it but often fails to do so. Her lecture was marked by an engaging narrative that intertwined personal experiences, theoretical foundations, and critiques of educational policies - reaffirming a commitment to emancipatory, critical, and transformative education capable of forming individuals who are aware of their historical and social context.

THE IMPACT OF CAPES’ TEACHING AREA EVALUATIONS ON PROFEPT DOCUMENTS AND THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF CONCEPTUAL BASES
The guiding documents of the ProfEPT Professional Master's Degree have been significantly influenced by the recommendations from Capes Teaching Area from the APCN and Quadrennial 2017-2020 evaluations, in which the program was evaluated with a score of three. This article aims to identify the changes in regulations, access notices and other documents in its history in the light of Capes' policy for professional master's degrees, which could, perhaps, take the program away from its conceptual foundations. The aim is to analyze the possible conflicts between Capes' neoliberal vision for professional master's degrees and ProfEPT's counter-hegemonic proposal and its impact on the national entrance exam. The discussion is theoretically based on the concept of work as an educational principle and research as a pedagogical principle, which are the foundations of the research developed in the ProfEPT. The methodology used is primary source documentary research, understood as a unit of analysis. The final reflections indicate that the neoliberal advance in educational policies for professional master's degrees seeks to reduce the researcher to a flexible worker who is helpful to the market while at the same time tending to privatize the production of knowledge. TheProfEPT resists, remaining supported by the conceptual foundations that gave rise to it, training workers/researchers capable of developing critical scientific research integrally and autonomously to labour. Resistance is necessary.

INTEGRATED TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL AND THE EXERCISE OF CITIZENSHIP:
The article analyzes the conceptions about the concept of Citizenship, explained by educators and high school students from the integrated Technical Course in Management, offered by the Federal Institute of Espírito Santo (Ifes). The analyzes were based on studies in the areas of Work and Education and Sociology Education. A qualitative study was developed, with a case study presentation. The locus of the study was one of the Ifes campuses; teachers and students from that course constituted the research subjects. Interview and semi-structured questionnaire were used as means of data collection. The information obtained was analyzed taking into consideration the assumptions of the content analysis and the guidelines for the triangulation of the data. The results indicate that the conceptions of Citizenship presented by the research subjects are based on the knowledge of rights and duties, a reduced meaning of the term. A more qualified listening also revealed that a great part of the subjects deepened the concept, revealing, therefore, understandings and inferences that signal the importance of citizen education, in dialogue with integral education.

THE PROFESSIONAL MASTER’S DEGREE IN PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION FROM THE FEDERAL INSTITUTE OF SERGIPE:
The objective of this article was to map the contents and the potential interdisciplinarities that are expressed in the 35 dissertations defended in the Postgraduate Program in Professional and Technological Education of the Federal Institute of Sergipe Campus Aracaju (ProfEPT / IFS). For this, we sought to present which are the most recurrent objects of study and thematic focuses, if these objects and focuses privilege the integration of their subjects with Professional and Technological Education, what are the main theoretical and methodological aspects evidenced in the dissertations and if, perhaps, there are thematic gaps that deserve more attention in future research. This is an article constituted by exploratory, bibliographic and qualitative research, which made use of the 35 dissertations produced in the ProfEPT/IFS, during the period counted for quadrennial evaluation (2017-2020) of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES). The analysis showed that there are potential interdisciplinarities among the studies developed; that they favor the integration of their content with professional education; and that the research developed offers significant contributions to the teaching-learning processes in the context of basic and professional education, both in formal and non-formal teaching spaces.

History of Professional and Technological Education in Brazil:
This work deals with the conception and development of Professional and Technological Education (EPT) in Brazil. The research question is: What are the main characteristics of Professional Education historically constituted in Brazil? How was EPT historically constituted in Brazil? The objective is to analyze the conditions of EPT, from the colonial period to the present, in order to understand the characteristics of each moment, identifying EPT as a field of debate between the dominant class and workers. The methodology adopted was a qualitative analysis of a bibliographic nature, in which studies of books and articles by referenced authors on the history of EPT in Brazil were selected. As a result, we found that EPT has always been linked to work, whether alienated (used as a welfare and social control policy) or as an educational principle constitutive of the human.

This article presents an assessment of the institutional identity of teachers in the search for changes in technological professional education in Ceara. Over the years, Federal Institutes have created specific normative acts to ensure not only their survival, but mainly to consolidate their identity as a multidisciplinary teaching activity. Starting from this principle, when we identify a new institutionality and its complexity, we find important official documents that try to reach this goal. Among these official documents are the law for the creation of Federal Institutes (No. 11,892, December 28, 2008), the Institutional Pedagogical Project (PPI) and the Resolution of the IFCE Superior Council (Consup) (No. 39, August 22, 2020). The main objective of this research is to analyze such reference official documents correlating their processes of constitution of the teaching identity in local professional education to identify coherence between them and the mechanisms of consolidation of our institutional and teaching identity in the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Ceara Technology (IFCE). The results show a perception that we are still in the process of maturing our "new institutionality", due to the complex processes of changes in its operating guidelines and pedagogical proposals in its more than 100 years of existence, and that the mechanisms provided for in these official documents they need to be more diffused by the academic community.

FIRST AID IN TEACHER TRAINING IN THE CONTEXT OF PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION:
Educating critical and emancipated citizens in the current Brazilian educational context has been challenging. In this way, more and more trained professionals are required, capable of promoting educational training that meets the diversity of this audience. The research aims to investigate how the theme of first aid (FA) has been developed in the initial and continuing education of teachers in the context of Professional and Technological Education (PTE) from 2015 to 2021, pointing out the main literature found on this theme. The research comprised the period of 10 years due to the scarcity of publications at minor intervals from the delimitation of filters in the database of BVS, EduCAPES/Periodics, Scielo, LILACS and BDTD, such as journals, theses and dissertations. It is an integrative review with a scientific basis in readings and reflections on the theme through the national literature. The literature found was organized in a table containing the author's name, year of publication, source and type of research addressed. The results revealed that the FA theme is still little explored in teacher training in the context of PTE and that there is a need to offer courses on this theme, as there is still a small number of scientific articles on FA in the context of teaching practice, in addition to a Continuing Health Education plan.

This article presents theoretical reflections that emerged in a doctoral research that had as subject the process of the Federal Institutes – IFs creation, in 2008. Based Marx and Gramsci, this article aims analyze the potential contribution of the use of the Marxism for understanding the questions concerning expansion policies and diversification of higher education institutions. From a methodological point of view, this work can be classified as bibliographic and qualitative research. The final considerations point out that, under capitalism, the public policies aimed to expansion of IES tend to diversification, what makes possible the emergence of the “alternative” educational institutions to the university, such as the IFs.

DOMESTIC WORK AND PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION:
The article aims to present the results reached by an investigation about the concept of domestic work and its relationship with Professional and Technological Education (EPT) in the context of subsequent technical courses in Administration and Electrotechnics at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology (IFSULDEMINAS), Poços de Caldas Campus. Considering the feminist critique of the Marxist definition of work, the article sought to understand how the concepts of work and domestic work are developed by students undergoing professional training in this type of education. For this, two stages of data collection were carried out. Initially, a closed questionnaire was administered with the participation of thirty-three students. Subsequently, interviews were carried out with six students, three women and three men. The analysis of the collected material demonstrated a lack of consensus and an uncritical perspective on the definition of work, contradictory conceptions about the concept of domestic work and the impacts of the differential socialization of men and women. The approach to this theme in a professional training environment causes estrangement and discomfort in the male public, as if it had no relation with their insertion in the worlds of work, which contrasts with the conceptions of the female public.

CHALLENGES AND POSSIBILITIES FOR THE INCLUSION OF STUDENTS WITHAUTISTIC SPECTRUM DISORDER – ASD IN PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICALEDUCATION
The main objective of this study is to identify the challenges and possibilities for the inclusion of students with ASD in Professional and Technological Education, based on studies and inquiries into possible barriers and actions that can contribute to the inclusion process. An inclusive school must be one that implies an educational system that recognizes and responds to individual differences, respecting the needs of all students. The teacher, like other members of the school committed to quality education, must be requalifying their role as facilitators of the teaching learning process to identify educational needs and support students in their difficulties. The number of people diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder is growing, as is their presence in higher education. Regarding the methodology, the research used based on a bibliographical review, has a qualitative research approach method, through the deductive approach method. The central questions of this study based on the lack of knowledge and depth of understanding of public education policies and the lack of investment on the part of the responsible institutions. In this bibliographic study, the need to promote the opportunity to clarify this government initiative and its impacts was perceived, which contribute significantly to further studies in the academic and scientific world.

The skills and competencies of computacional thinking in middle level professional education
Based on historical knowledge, man created many technologies to assist him in the production of his existence. This work sought, through qualitative-quantitative research based on the hypothetical deductive method, to research the use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICTs) in the teaching-learning process in EPT and sought to answer whether the theory of Computational Thinking (CP) can contribute to professional and technological education. In the first stage, he presented the theoretical foundation through bibliographical research that addressed the topics of technology, professional and technological education and computational thinking. In the next stage, indirect documentary research was carried out on the pedagogical project of the technical course in IT at the IFMG campus Formiga. At this stage, Iramuteq software was used to process content. The third stage was the development of a digital tool based on bibliographical research and supported by the concepts of Computational Thinking. The fourth stage was the evaluation and validation of the tool developed by teachers of the technical disciplines of the IT technical course researched. Finally, in the fifth and final stage, the analysis, conclusions and final considerations were developed.
CONCEPTS FOR CONSIDERING STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH IN FULL-TIME HIGH SCHOOL TECHNICAL PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION:
In the Federal Network of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education (RFEPCT), technical education at the high school level, particularly in the integrated modality, involves the cultural, scientific, and technical development of young individuals. This requires full-time engagement in classroom activities, laboratories, workshops, as well as additional studies outside of regular school hours. This demanding process necessitates dedication, time, and individual energy, making mental health a crucial aspect of students' educational journey. Mental health issues can negatively impact attention, motivation, and socialization, all of which are essential for effective learning. This research is motivated by the frequent occurrence of complaints and symptoms of mental illness among students in the health section of an RFEPCT institution. Through theoretical and bibliographical research, this article seeks to explore and connect various concepts that help in understanding the intersection of contemporary lifestyle, youth, and mental health. Furthermore, to make this conceptual framework more relevant to high school Technical Professional Education (EPTNM), the article also discusses the concepts of mental health prevention and promotion, as well as information related to depression, anxiety, and stress. It is important to note that this article takes a conceptual approach and does not present empirical results or draw specific conclusions. Instead, its purpose is to highlight the significance of student mental health in a full-time school setting and to outline key concepts that contribute to a better understanding of this issue.
TARQUÍNIO DE SOUZA FILHO AND PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION IN THE EMPIRE:
This article analyzes the ideas of Tarquínio de Souza Filho in light of his intellectual influences and his spaces of sociability. We seek to demonstrate how authors of the stature of Celestin Hippeau and Antônio da Costa de Sousa de Macedo were fundamental for Tarquínio to think of a professional education project inspired by initiatives from other countries and that covered a wider audience. At the same time, we try to understand the importance that the Central Immigration Society, an institution of which the author was a member and director, had in thinking about an education that could serve as an attraction for foreign immigrants to come to the country. In the end, we argue that these references are indispensable to understand how Tarquínio could defend what he called “technical education”, which clashed with the dominant education until then, propaedeutic, elitist and averse to work.
RAEG Platform - Tool for Registration and Monitoring of Professional and Technological Education Graduates
The monitoring of graduates from Professional and Technological Education - EPT is of utmost importance to assess whether the "graduate profile" envisaged in the pedagogical projects of the courses, based on the evaluation of the path taken by former students after completing their courses, has been achieved. Scientific productions dedicated to the study of this theme address topics that encompass the reality and aspirations of graduates regarding their insertion into the labor market, the continuation of their studies, as well as the implementation and evaluation of public policies in this modality. Beyond recognizing the relevance of this monitoring, it is urgent to also acknowledge that its achievement brings several difficulties for the managers of institutions who recognize its importance but understand it as a medium to long-term action that requires considerable planning and allocation of resources and personnel that these institutions, as a rule, do not have. This article aims, in light of works addressing the challenges of monitoring graduates and field research conducted within the scope of the Graduate Program in Professional and Technological Education - ProfEPT and which originates from it, to present a tool aimed at directors and coordinators of technical course programs, with the purpose of enabling the automation of procedures inherent to the monitoring of EPT graduates, allowing for bulk work, avoiding the need for individual approaches, and assisting them in the process of seeking information from graduates, as well as in the analysis, comparison, and archiving of this information.
WHAT ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS THIS? ANALYSIS OF CONCEPTIONS OF WORK IN THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL DISCOURSES AND EPT GUIDELINES
The High School Reform promulgated by Law 13,415/2017 implemented a series of changes in the basic education of high school level in Brazilian schools. Far beyond altering workload and making significant changes to the curriculum, the reform strongly reflects neoliberal practices, inserting them into the school environment through formative pathways and guiding axes, especially the entrepreneurship axis. This article seeks to analyze in an attempt to identify the connections between the discourse of the reform and the promotion of a neoliberal subjectivity in education. To do so, excerpts from the National Common Curricular Base for High School was examined, highlighting "entrepreneurship" as a key point to understand how the reform is shaping a pedagogy aimed at adapting the individual to the ideal of "self-entrepreneurship". From this point of view, the high school reform is not just a structural change in education, but also a way to promote values and behaviors aligned with the principles of neoliberalism. In this context, the student becomes "empowered" to develop "skills and competencies" that allow them to adapt to the different demands inherent in a world of uncertainties and constant changes related to the labor market. With this research, we realized that entrepreneurship can play a relevant role in the school curriculum, but it is important to approach it critically and contextually, recognizing its limits and challenges, and ensuring that education remains focused on the integral development of students and the promotion of the common good. Teaching the entrepreneurship axis in high school, before a markedly neoliberal imposition, should be a space in which young people will debate and discover their skills so that they feel safe and aware of their decisions. So that they are clear that entrepreneurship must be seen as an option, and not as the only path that will lead them to a future of success and financial independence.
CONCEPTIONS OF FAMILY THROUGHOUT HISTORY: CONSIDERATIONS FOR THINKING ABOUT INCLUSION IN CONTEMPORARY TIMES
In recent years, we have noticed that themes focused on the inclusion of people with disabilities in education have been increasingly propagated in our environment. And discussing this reality makes us rethink how inclusion has contributed to those who have difficulties due to their condition. To this end, it is necessary to think about school inclusion in contemporary times, given that a significant increase in the number of people with disabilities has already become a reality in public education networks. This fact has consequently influenced their access to the world of work, as it increases the possibilities of including them in this market. Therefore, it is essential to reflect on this issue today and how families of people with disabilities perceive the process of inclusion in our daily lives. In view of this, with this article we seek to understand the conceptions of family throughout history to think about inclusion today. We believe that it is essential to have knowledge of family and which family we are talking about. Because we cannot talk about family if we do not delve deeper to understand it better. To this end, we carried out a theoretical study on the concept of family, guided by the perspective of the inclusion of autistic people, not in an integrative or adaptive way, but rather from the point of view of an inclusive society, in order to contribute to research involving the family. as a fundamental protagonist of the inclusive process. Over the years, several significant changes have occurred in family organization, making it possible to observe them based on the theoretical studies carried out. For some authors, the family is seen as the first educational agency of human beings, bringing great influences on their relationships with the world. In the past, in medieval times, it was normal for couples and children to live together in the same environment with other people who were not part of their family. It was also common to find families made up of a nuclear structure of father, mother and child. But nowadays, according to research carried out, new family arrangements have become evident, such as: Children who live alone as adults, children who live only with their mother, or father, or grandparents and also the formation of a family nucleus from a same-sex union. Therefore, we can no longer say that there is only one type of family.
PRESENTATION - THEMATIC DOSSIER PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION:

WHY IS IT GOOD TO SPEND AND IT HURTS TO SAVE?A DISCURSION ON TEACHING FINANCIAL EDUCATION AT EPT
This article aims to complement the discussion on teaching Financial Education in secondary level Professional and Technological Education (EPTNM). The teaching model of professional and technological education (EPT) is aimed at the student's comprehensive training, their preparation for the world of work, to live in society. Financial education was explicitly included in the National Common Curricular Base for secondary education (BNCC) in 2017. The economic system adopted in Brazil is capitalist. There is money involved in everything, albeit indirectly, however research shows that there are difficulties for Brazilians in managing personal finances. Given these factors, through documentary research in course pedagogical projects (PPC) it was possible to survey the content covered on financial education and how it is approached in the classroom. The main result was the proof that this topic is taught in the second year of integrated high school with an approach more focused on financial mathematics. But does this approach help students in the decision-making process related to money?
WORK SAFETY AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TRAINING MANUAL:
This work aims to present the process of developing an Educational Product and the importance of Occupational Safety in the training and training of Professional and Technological Education (EPT) students. Prevention is a fundamental strategy to avoid workplace accidents, which is why courses that use practical laboratories to exercise these precautions contribute to avoiding accidents and raising students' awareness of the importance of Workplace Safety. In this sense, an analysis of Brazilian legislation on Occupational Safety and its importance in EPT schools was carried out, based on the case study of the Mechanical Laboratory of CEFET MG, Campus Divinópolis. It is worth mentioning that the study focused on the integrated high school EPT modality. To this end, a bibliographic review, document analysis and on-site visits to the Laboratory were carried out. Based on the discussion and technical visits, a Risk Map for the Laboratory was suggested, taking environmental risks into account, as a way of proposing a model and being presented as an Educational Product that can be replicated in the different realities of schools. EPT. The PE is a Training Manual where teachers can work with students, preferably before starting practical classes in the laboratories, as through this manual student will have access to information about which environmental risks are present in each laboratory, working on each of the risks and finally prepare a Risk Map through a complementary activity.
SCHOOL EVASION IN PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION:
The present study intends to investigate the problem of School Dropout in Professional and Technological Education (EPT) in secondary level technical courses, subsequent and external concomitant modalities, in an institution of the Federal Network of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education (RFEPCT): the Federal Center for Technological Education of Minas Gerais (CEFET-MG), Araxá Campus. This work supported a more comprehensive dissertation project that analyzes the reasons behind student dropout. Given the recognition of evasion as a complex and multifactorial challenge, and understanding diagnosis as a process of identification, analysis and evaluation of a problem, condition, or situation; The general objective of this study is to establish a quantitative diagnosis of students who dropped out in the period from 2018 to 2022. The methodology imposed for this exploratory research of a quantitative nature was based on the collection of secondary data provided by the Nilo Peçanha Platform (PNP), an environment virtual platform intended for the collection, validation, and dissemination of official RFEPCT statistics. Management indicators were chosen that categorize data by “enrollment cycles”, in which each student can be classified into one of three situations: dropped out, retained, or graduating. The resulting diagnosis made it possible to identify students who dropped out throughout the training period, providing an objective view of the extent of the problem, as well as revealing patterns and seasonal variations. From this information, we understand the severity of school dropout rates, highlighting the prior need to implement measures to reduce them and highlighting the importance of quantitative methods in the analysis of educational problems.

POSIBILITIES AND LIMITS OF A FORMATIVE AND DIALOGIC ACITION ON EJA/EPT WITH IFSP TEACHERS
This article presents a brief synthesis of a qualitative research carried out within the scope of the Postgraduate Program in Professional and Technological Education (ProfEPT), which analyzed the position of a group of professors on the opening of a course of the National Integration Program of Professional Education with Basic Education, in the Youth and Adult Education Modality (PROEJA), on a campus of the Federal Institute of Science and Technology of São Paulo (IFSP). In this way, the academic work investigated the implementation of a PROEJA course and proposed a set of pedagogical interventions to the group of professors of the institution that would work in the course, in order to provide them with greater knowledge about the aforementioned program. The training actions proposed to these teachers were configured as an Educational Product, required by ProfEPT. The instruments used for data collection were, above all, participant observation and an online questionnaire. The results indicated, in particular, a resistance on the part of the teaching staff to work in the EJA and signaled the existence of difficulties of different kinds, such as the lack of specific teacher training to teach at Proeja, the need to prepare the campus for the opening of the course, the need to prepare a curriculum focused on the specifics of the working class, among others. The investigation also demonstrated the importance of continuous training for the institution's teachers on the subject and the need for constant dialogue. Furthermore, the conclusions open spaces for reflections that lack other studies and investigations in the field of educational policies, curriculum and teacher training.
