Abstract

The presente master’s dissertation has a main focus to analyse the path of the Clothing Technical course from its school culture, in the CAVG institution, in the city of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, between the period of 1996 and 2001. To understand the early years of the Clothing Technical course and analyze the research object, we used as main medium the school culture, seeking to identify the actors of the course constituition, as well as the school space, materials used, disciplines and the importance of the gender issues in relation to the subject. The studied period begins in 1996, when the meetings among teachers began in order to restructure the Technical course in Home Economics course at CaVG, which later originated the Technical course in Clothing, until the firts class graduated. For the research there interviews were held with teachers and students from both courses, trying to recall memories connected to the course and to CaVG. This investigation also ocurred through documental analysis, using documents presnt in CaVG’s collection, such as class diaries, photos and notes taken by teachers during the period mentioned above. The theoretical basis was based on the concepts of school institutions, using authors such as Justino Magalhães and Sanfelice, school culture from Dominique Julia and Vidal, goind through the concept of gender. From the analyses, it is possible to understand that path of the Clothing course started in the process of closing the Technical course of Home Economics, which ocurred due the analyses and reforms made in the vocational courses. The Clothing Technical course at CaVG was structured from the materials and faculty avaliable from Home Economics. As a consequence, the Clothing Technical course presents particularities, due to its connection with the preceded it, the belonging to an institution that has a Strong connection with the rural enviroment and finally for being located in the city of Pelotas, wich has a great demand in the area of commerce.
