Cursos técnicos integrados da rede federal de educação brasileira: aspectos da organização didático-curricular e da formação profissional

Abstract

As federal public school teachers, in Brazil, we aim to investigate the curricular aspects of three integrated technical courses. Specifically, we analyzed: i) the type of training that is expected to be offered to students, with regard, above all, to professional aspects; and ii) how the implementation of formative integration in integrated technical courses is oriented. Results point to a quantitative and qualitative advance in the provision of technical education in the federal network, but, at the same time, it demonstrates a lack of guiding parameters for the integration of basic, integral and propaedeutic education, with technical and professional training for the work world. One of the courses we analyzed presents some progress towards an integrative practice. In the other two, gaps were noted in this regard. Discussions on the (re) construction of a truly integrated curriculum for technical courses have taken place within the scope of federal education, and the courses have been undergoing reformulations since 2019.
