Educação Empreendedora : desafios dos processos de ensino e aprendizagem no currículo integrado na Educação Profissional e Tecnológica

Abstract

This study is linked to the National Network Professional and Technological Education Graduate Program (ProfEPT) at the Instituto Federal Farroupilha - Campus Jaguari, under the research line Educational Practices in Professional and Technological Education (PTE) and Macroproject 3 - Educational Practices in the Integrated Curriculum. The objective was to investigate conceptions of entrepreneurship in PTE, focusing on the analysis of institutional documents and the teaching practices of instructors in integrated technical courses at the Instituto Federal Farroupilha (IFFar). The research adopted a qualitative approach through a case study, employing questionnaires, focus group interviews, and document analysis of the Pedagogical Course Projects (PPCs) to understand teachers' perceptions of entrepreneurship education and its integration into the curriculum. Content analysis was applied to interpret the data, revealing a predominant trend of entrepreneurial conceptions rooted in a business-oriented perspective within technical courses. As a result, an educational product was developed aiming to align entrepreneurship education with the conceptual and legal foundations of PTE, promoting a training that considers social, economic, and regional aspects. In the final considerations, suggestions are presented to improve teaching practice and curricular structure, reinforcing the need for a more critical and contextualized entrepreneurial education.
