A “travessia”: a formação omnilateral no curso técnico integrado do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia

Abstract

This study is in the Professional and Technological Education (PTE) field and has as a goal to analyze the principles of omnilateral qualification and the Gramscian Unitary School in the educational practice of teachers from the Chemistry Integrated Technical Course from the Education, Science and Technology Federal Institute campus in Anápolis. This is a document research which has as sources: the Institutional Development Plan (IDP), the Academic Program (AP), the Course Curriculum (CC), The Subjects menus, and the Yearly Education Plans designed by the teachers in the beginning of 2017. The documents were analyzed considering five guiding principles for the intemediate technical Professional Education integrated to high school proposed by Moura (2007). The theoretical reference is founded on Marx, Saviani, Pistrak and Gramsci, giving us a better understanding of work as a constituent element of human formation, to be regarded as an educational principle in school. The results of the study indicate that the Chemistry Integrated Technical Course from IFG Anápolis is still constituted by a fragmented, dichotomous, strictly curricular education process, which still reproduces humanistic and professional contents in a polarized manner. In conclusion, the study shows that the analyzed course is distant from the Gramscian Unitary School proposal, requiring efforts for the comprehension of theory foundations that guide integrated education and omnilateral formation.
