O curso técnico em agropecuária do CAVG: um estudo de caso acerca da percepção do professorado em relação ao princípio integrador

Abstract

Secondary School applied with technical education is legally presented as a way to qualify students/citizens for both life and work. However, the implementation of this form of education is not clearly effective. With a more specific vision on the Agricultural Technical Course - Integrated in Visconde da Graça – Campus Pelotas, one notices the absence of association between disciplines that make up the Secondary School with those of technical education, in this case, the discipline of Biology. Going through this direction, this study aims to determine the perception of the teachers of Agricultural Technical Course regarding the integrating principle in their teaching practice in Integrated Secondary School. To obtain the results, it was applied a qualitative research through research of documents and a case study. The proposed research was carried out with Agricultural Technical Course teachers who minister disciplines that somehow were related to Biology teaching. As data collection, it was used the analysis of official documents about the institution rules and interviews with the teachers. Data were analyzed qualitatively through analysis of the recorded interviews. At the end of this study, it is pointed out the necessity of expansion of the discussions, in the Agricultural Technical Course, about integration, along with the definitions set out in the guiding documents PPC (from Portuguese Plano Pedagógico de Curso) and PPI (from Portuguese Projeto Pedagógico Institucional).
