A exclusão escolar nos cursos técnicos do CEFET-RS (1980 - 2006).

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the school exclusion in CEFET-RS from the 1980’s to the first semester of 2006. In this period, three different structures of secondary technical courses occurred, with place offers during periods which allowed data series. Through this I investigated what happened to students in relation to their making use of their school years during the semester-integrated model, annual-integrated model and modular separated from secondary school model. Doing so, it was possible to match the indicators referring to the school exclusion processes with the changes which occurred in the structures of secondary technical courses, determined by the changes in the production world. Such approach was developed from my aim to go beyond the apparent analysis of these exclusion processes, trying to relate them to the logic of the capital which submits the school process, mainly in the Professional Education modality, through the employability discourse. For doing this work, several documental sources found in the institution in focus were used, which provided a thorough survey, mainly of the period after the Professional Education Counter- Reformation. The moment of the history of CEFET-RS in which school exclusion decreased to its lower level was that after the community had discussed the structure of the courses, building locally the annual-integrated course. The school exclusion rate only started to increase again after the Professional Education Counter- Reformation.
