Interfaces entre educação profissional em alternância e formação integrada omnilateral: reflexões a partir da experiência da Escola Família Agrícola de Natalândia/MG

Abstract

The present work has as its theme the reflection on the educational process of the Technical Course in Alternation of the Escola Familia Agricola de Natalândia-MG [Agricultural Family School of Natalândia / MG] - EFAN. The objective proposed here is to analyze the approximations between the Pedagogy of Alternation, conducted at EFAN, and the omnilateral integrated education. It is a work developed within the framework of qualitative research, using the case study as a technical procedure and free observation as an instrument of data collection. Also, documentary research, using as sources of data collection the Political-Pedagogical Project, the Educational Plan, the semi-structured interview directed to parents and teachers/monitors, and the focus group conducted with students from the Technical Course in Agriculture integrated with high school. As a result of this study, it is possible to perceive that there is, in the guidance documents of EFAN and about the educational process developed by it, a concern with developing critical-reflective thinking, as well as the creativity and curiosity of students with a view to integral education. Besides, it is possible to observe the establishment of a bond between general education and professional education that motivates students to take ownership of productive techniques and their respective scientific foundations. In this sense, it is observed that the educational way of EFAN dialogues with the perspective of omnilateral integrated education.
