Currículo do Curso Técnico em Petroquímica numa perspectiva das relações de trabalho

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze in the curriculum of the Technical Course in Petrochemistry, offered by the Federal Institute of Education of Pernambuco (IFPE), Campus Ipojuca, the concept of training for the world of work. The theoretical framework was based on the writings of Gaudêncio Frigotto, Dermeval Saviani, Marise Ramos, Dante Henrique Moura, Maria Ciavatta, Acácia Kuenzer, among others. The research aimed to contribute to the understanding of the indispensability of professional training aimed at taking positions in the face of changes in work relationships and to a critical reflection on the design of curricula for professional and technological education, based on broad professional training. For this, the debate on the multiple notions built on the term "work" was covered. As a methodological instrument, a bibliographic research step was carried out, a document analysis step of specific legislation, institutional documents, pedagogical project and the curriculum of the Technical Course in Petrochemistry of the investigated institution. Finally, a stage of semi-structured interviews was conducted with representatives of the faculty of that course. The analysis of the content of the interviews was performed using the method of Bardin (2011). The results obtained evidenced the conformity of the course to the logic of the market, based on the acquisition of competences, with this formative intention predominating over integral formation. The themes that address labor relations from the point of view of the use of labor, how they are configured and their effects on society, are not officially discussed and are not included in the curriculum. It turns out that, without this training bias, graduates are susceptible to becoming workers with limited critical vision and prone to accepting and conforming to what is imposed on them by the labor market. The educational product of this work was the elaboration of a proposal to include a subject in the curriculum of the technical course studied, called "Organization of Work in Brazil" that addresses issues related to the world of work, in order to arouse in students a perception political-social issues that directly and indirectly impact the work, and this discipline can be extended to other courses on campus and IFPE, due to its common approach and pertinent to all areas
