Permanência no curso técnico integrado em cozinha na modalidade EJA do IFG Câmpus Goiânia: o que dizem os alunos?

Abstract

This work was developed in the Graduate Program in Professional and Technological Education (ProfEPT) and aimed to analyze the period of school stay of students who dropped out of the Technical Course in Kitchen in the EJA modality of the IFG — Campus Goiânia, in the years 2018 and 2019. The research was developed in a qualitative nature and had as theoretical foundation the school permanence in professional and technological education, supported by the studies of Frigotto, Ciavatta, Ramos (2012), Carmo (2016, 2018, 2019), Castro, (2011) , 2016), Manfredi (2017), Reis (2016), among others. The methodology to unveil the object occurred through a literature review on the CAPES Periodicals Portal, by the theoretical basis of the publications of researchers on EJA/PROEJA, school permanence, analysis of the institutional documents of the IFG and the legal frameworks that govern education Brazilian. For data collection, we used a semi- structured interview. The work originates from the assumption that education is everyone's right and to guarantee this right, conditions for permanence must be given for students to start and complete their studies with quality, enjoying all academic, social and political support. We concluded with the studies that the permanence of students who interrupted their studies in the Technical Course in Kitchen was linked to the material and symbolic conditions pointed out by Reis (2016). We also verified through the bibliographical research that supports this work that the field of studies on school permanence is dynamic and allows for broad perspectives of analysis. Through the institutional documents of the IFG and the legal system that governs Brazilian education, we understand that the democratization of education is not limited to access to educational institutions, true democratization will occur with the guarantee of students' permanence in their schooling process, however, it will be necessary to make efforts for its full implementation. This work also presents, as a result of the research, the educational product Inspirations for Permanence, an audiovisual production that aimed to sensitize EJA students, with the speech of other students who had the same experiences as them. Real stories that portray themselves, and how education can transform people's lives in the political, economic and social spheres.
