Verticalização do ensino: concepções e memórias de estudantes egressos do IFFAR Campus Santa Rosa

Abstract

The present study was developed together with the Graduate Program in Professional and Technological Education (ProfEPT), inserted in the Organization and Memories of Pedagogical Spaces in Professional and Technological Education. Addressing the topic of verticalization of teaching as one of the purposes established with the creation of the Federal Institutes (IFs), the general objective was to analyze the conceptions and memories of graduates of the Bachelor's degree course in Architecture and Urbanism at Farroupilha Federal Institute Campus Santa Rosa (IFFar-SR), coming from the Technical Course Integrated in Furniture and the Technical Course Integrated in Buildings at the Institution, regarding their formative experience and insertion into the world of work within the perspective of verticalization of teaching. Our purpose was to recover the trajectory of the creation of IFFar-SR, characterize the courses involved in the research based on their training scenarios and technological axes, and understand the concepts of verticalization of teaching in IFs and their relevance in the integral formation of students. The methodology is characterized as a qualitative research approach, through a case study using a semi-structured interview as a data collection instrument and the analysis of data obtained through Discursive Textual Analysis, based on the studies of Moraes and Galiazzi (2016). As the main result of the research, we observed the importance of the infrastructure available for educational activities, the relevant contribution of the assistance and inclusion actions implemented, and the approval, by graduates, of the educational structure offered. But, also, the existence of issues to be discussed and improved about content and methodologies adopted. We perceive the verticalization of teaching as being a difference in the academic background of students and their subsequent insertion into the world of work, without, however, being aware that there is still a lot to evolve. Based on the data obtained from the research, we developed the ebook entitled “Building Paths at IFFar Campus Santa Rosa: from Technical Training in Furniture and Buildings to Higher Education in Architecture and Urbanism”, as an educational product, aiming at greater dissemination and knowledge of training opportunities offered by IFFar-SR in the search for constant improvement in the professional and technological education offered.
