Desafios no currículo do ensino médio integrado à educação profissional na Escola Estadual de Educação Profissional Rodrigues Braz

Abstract

The present work has for goal to develop a proposal intervention to contribute in overcoming the challenges of achieving the curricular integration in Escola Estadual de Educação Profissional (E.E.E.P.) - Professional Teaching State School in Ceará state. Starting from a management case was investigated working conditions in the school to propose alternatives to overcome the problem. This angle is justified by the fact that the author of this work do part of the management team (E.E.E.P.) and have found that the difficulties in achieving a solid and well structured curriculum integration can be configured as one of the barriers to students' learning, such as the compulsory subjects of the Common National Base, as in professional courses. In order to obtain information to describe and analyze the case, the investigation has as methodology the use of semi-structured roadmaps, interviews and documentary research. At the end of the case description, in Chapter 1, we conclude that there are two key factors which influence the existence of the problem: organization and distribution of work responsibilities of the management team and the role of school management in training and aid to teacher performance. In Chapter 2 the problem was analyzed taking into account these two elements. The analysis was conducted from the perspective of some authors: Neves to present a history of Technical and Professional Education in Brazil, Luck and Mintzberg to talk about School Management, Polon to treat about the role of curriculums in effective schools, Lopes and Macedo to aproach subjects and curricular integration. This way, in Chapter 3, we present a proposal intervention consisting in actions to redefine the management team obligations and organize their work so that it can act in training and aid to teacher performance through collaborative training focusing on the curricular integration. These propositions represent the effort to contribute and overcome difficulties in the implementation of an integrated curriculum in the watched school.
