O uso de ações complementares ao ensino na busca da formação integral do estudante no ensino médio integrado em uma instituição de ensino técnico

Abstract

This article aims to present reflections on the comprehensive students formation based on the account of a complementary educational action titled "The World of Work: Self-awareness and Professional Skills." Despite comprehensive student formation being an integral part of the mission of Federal Institutes, its practice still grapples with the challenges of a school with a traditional teaching approach. One of the pathways to encompass such education involves the development of complementary teaching activities. However, the curriculum consists of a high number of concurrent activities during both regular and extra-curricular periods, reflecting other challenges such as students' availability to engage in non-mandatory extracurricular activities. The action described in this text offers reflections on the creation of formative spaces capable of contributing to student empowerment and freedom in the midst of decision-making processes and personal and professional planning. The target audience consisted of final-year students in the integrated technical high school programs at the Federal Institute of Espírito Santo, Nova Venécia campus. It involved active participation from all those involved throughout the formative journey, contributing to the transformation of both students and the educators engaged in the process.
