Abstract

The scout movement, chosen as the theme for this dissertation, belongs tothe non-formal educational space, which integrates one of the lines of study of professional education by ProfEPT - GraduateProgram in Professional and Technological Education. This qualitative study aims to analyze the conception of work conveyed by the senior branch of scouts from Anápolis in Goiás. A field research was carried out which included document analysis, interviews with the coordinators of a scout group from Anápolis and groups of discussion with Scouts of the senior branch. For data analysis, data triangulation was used as a method, which allows analyzing the association of three elements: processes and products centered on the subject, elements produced by thes ubject's environmentand processes and products originated by the socioeconomic and cultural structure. As the most relevant results, it is noticed that the Scout method of teaching differs from other spaces of non-formal education in the aspect of having a programmatic content, structured based on educational guidelines of UNESCO, an international organization that aims to favor the formation of a citizenship delimited by hegemonic economic interests. This training aims to prepare children and young people to become protagonists in the improvement of the social structure in a harmonious way, through the development of different skills that make them more adapted to the impositions of flexible accumulation. The current mode of production and retention of wealth is based on public policies that annihilate resistance to the extraction of surplus value from work, through the radicalization of capital, the destruction of job security and the expansion of demand for the entrepreneurial work force. It is concluded that the senior scouts is based on a conception of work with healthy adherence to the social organization of work, as it is structured. It is also concluded that the scout movement has a non-formal educational space with the potential to develop the contradictory in the conception of capitalist work, if it is allowed to discuss a new educational program that integrates the fundamentals of work as an educational principle, in a materialist, historical and dialectic. The mentioned results and conclusions supported the creation of a booklet, as an educational product, called "What is work? A booklet on contemporary work for the senior scout".
