Currículo integrado e as produções discursivas dos projetos pedagógicos no contexto do ensino médio integrado

Abstract

This qualitative research was developed in the Professional Master Program in Vocational Education (ProfEPT), from the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology Farroupilha, Campus Jaguari, and according to its regulations, it is integrated into the research line Organization and Memories of Pedagogical Spaces in Professional and Technological Education, in addition to aligning with Macroproject 5, which deals with the organization of the integrated curriculum in Vocational Education. It aimed at investigate how the relationship between theory and practice is presented in the pedagogical projects of two integrated technical courses at the Federal Farroupilha Institute - Advanced Campus of Uruguaiana: Technical Course in Administration Integrated to High School and Technical Course in Computer Science Integrated to High School. The data generation instrument was the reading and organization of the discursive productions recorded in the documents that integrate the Creation and Reformulation Processes of the referred courses, and in their Pedagogical Course Projects. For data analysis, the methodology used was Critical Discourse Analysis, during which we realized that, among the main results obtained, the issue that most concerned us was the weakness in understanding the principles of curricular integration. The fact of summarizing the various forms of integration in carrying out Integrated Professional Practices, and a large part of the documents under analysis is concerned with the correct execution of this methodology, results in the bureaucratization of the teaching-learning process. This and the other discussions of the results revealed the limitations of the analyzed documents (PCPs) and inspired the development of the Educational Product entitled Proposed permanent training with an emphasis on the associations between theory and practice presented by the PCPs of the Technical High School courses at the Federal Farroupilha Institute. It is a pioneering project at the Federal Institutes, whose general objective is to understand the political-pedagogical foundations of the Federal Institutes of Vocational Education necessary to implement the integrated curriculum. Our expectation is that this course will encourage self-reflection on the work of the participants, especially teachers and, consequently, arouse interest in integrative pedagogical practices, encouraging collective efforts to provide students with the right to education with a focus on integral human formation and consequently strengthening institutional objectives. We believe that the Pedagogical Course Projects themselves should stimulate the integration process between the subjects of basic education and professional training, that is, make theory and practice inseparable and point out the possibilities of integration, according to the specificities of each course. We refer here to the qualification of each PCP and its implementation in practice, making it a solid and reliable basis for daily teaching work.
