Comissão disciplinar discente : formação de servidores e construção de saberes com uma abordagem educativa no IFFAR

Abstract

The Federal Institutes of Education, Science, and Technology are multi-curricular and multicampus technical education institutions that aim to train individuals not only for the job market, but also for citizenship, for life, and acting in society. They annually receive a diversity of adolescents and adults who live and are inserted within their different spaces. These institutions need to organize themselves through rules of functioning and coexistence so that they can shelter the diversity of opinions, experiences, and knowledge that are socialized in their training spaces. As in any social space, there are cases of conflict and indiscipline involving both adolescents and adults at these institutions. Considering the nature and severity of the conflicts, in certain cases, a Disciplinary Administrative Proceeding is initiated to be conducted by a Disciplinary Committee. The Disciplinary Committee is usually composed of representatives from different segments of the institution. Its function is to investigate and analyze the facts presented during the proceeding. To account for the proceedings and their nature, the Disciplinary Committee needs to make use of different knowledge that assist in conducting and making decisions aiming at a more effective and adequate work. Some of this knowledge is related to technical and legal issues. However, considering the diversity of education of the Disciplinary Committee members, it is believed that they need training and specific guidelines concerning technical and legal issues. In this sense, this master's research is constituted within the scope of the post-graduate program in Professional and Technological Education - ProfEPT, with the theme “The Disciplinary Committee of the Federal Institute Farroupilha”. The general objective of the research is "to provide spaces of permanent formation for the student disciplinary committees of the Federal Institute Farroupilha (IFFar) to qualify the Student Disciplinary Proceeding" with an educational approach at an educational institution. As a methodological procedure, an action-research with an exploratory approach structured in stages was used to address the proposed objective. It was based on the investigative path guided by qualitative research with a wide bibliographic and documentary survey. It mapped the perceptions and practices of the members of the disciplinary committees at IFFar on the work developed within these spaces. As a result, it was found that the majority of the surveyed subjects consider it important to have permanent training that provides the exchange of ideas and the construction of knowledge. We conclude that it is necessary to think about the training of members based on a set of knowledge that enables them to act from an educational perspective. Related to all of this, there is the pedagogical work guiding the committees so that the student has a citizen education with the awareness of their acts and their consequences because the school also has the role of forming citizens. As an educational product, an “Orientation Guide for the formation of Student Disciplinary Committees at IFFar” was built. It was based on a Face-to-face Training for the Student Disciplinary Committees at IFFar and a set of recurring questions and doubts on student disciplinary proceedings.
