Organização de espaços pedagógicos no curso de edificações : currículo integrado em atividade no laboratório

Abstract

In the Building Technician course, students are trained to work as self-employed professionals in private companies or in the public service. The Panambi Campus has a history of offering the course in the EJA-EPT and subsequent modalities. With the creation of the Integrated Technician course in high school and the start of classes in 2024, there is a need to rethink pedagogical models and develop the Integrated Curriculum (CI) in this pedagogical space that permeates the building laboratory. However, educational guidance solely aimed at providing technical solutions for the market does not contribute to a dignified life for everyone in society, much less provide comprehensive training that relates work, culture, science, and technology, as proposed by Professional and Technological Education. To this end, we propose a virtual laboratory, called the Virtual Laboratory of the Building Technician Course (LABVEDI) as a complement to practical activities, with materials that enable strategies based on the Civilizing Equation (EC) (Bazzo, 2020). In this sense, this work aims to analyze the teaching conceptions about the Integrated Curriculum linked to Science, Technology and Society (STS) underlying the laboratory activities of the Building Course. The data were produced through semi-structured interviews with the teachers of the Building Course at the Panambi campus, Instituto Federal Farroupilha (IFFar), Rio Grande do Sul. The analysis was carried out through Discursive Textual Analysis. Thus, from the emerging subjects, the a priori categories, the study of the Integrated Curriculum based on the theoretical framework, an educational product was constructed with the purpose of provoking critical reflections of the students about the technical knowledge of the course to provide a comprehensive and integrated education proposing greater social justice and human dignity. This research was carried out within the strictu sensu postgraduate program Professional Master's Degree in Professional and Technological Education in the research line Organization and Memories of Pedagogical Spaces in Professional and Technological Education, macro-project 6 - Organization of pedagogical spaces in EPT.
