Biblioteca: autonomia no hábito de pesquisa dos estudantes do IFFAR Campus Santa Rosa

Abstract

This thesis aimed to analyze the contribution of the library at the Instituto Federal Farroupilha – Campus Santa Rosa to the autonomy of research habits within the context of Professional and Technological Education (EPT, in Portuguese). The research is linked to the Professional Post-Graduate Program in Professional and Technological Education (ProfEPT), under the research line "Organization and Memories of Pedagogical Spaces in EPT". The investigation focused on the perceptions and memories of students in the Bachelor’s degree in Architecture and Urbanism, who are alumni of integrated technical courses at the same institution, regarding the contribution of library resources and services to the construction of research habits. This was a qualitative study conducted through a case study, using semi-structured interviews as a data collection tool and Discursive Textual Analysis (Moraes; Galiazzi, 2020) for corpus analysis. The results showed that the library is recognized by students as a pedagogical environment that supports study, research, and the qualified use of information, although this support is perceived differently across physical space, collection, and digital information resources. Furthermore, the results indicate that autonomy in research habits is linked not only to the existence of these resources but also to institutional mediations, access conditions, and the modes of appropriation built throughout the formative journey, especially in the context of integrated education and the verticalization of teaching. It was concluded that the library occupies a strategic place in EPT by favoring formative practices linked to research as an educational principle, an understanding that grounded the development of a library guide as an educational product.
