Integração da Educação Profissional e Tecnológica com a Educação de Jovens e Adultos: desafios, possibilidades e vivências no Instituto Federal do Acre, campus Rio Branco

Abstract

The National Program for the Integration of Professional Education with Basic Education, in the Youth and Adult Modality (Proeja) is a government policy that emerged with the intention of providing the completion of basic education together with the acquisition of professional knowledge to those who did not complete the studies in the entity age as regular. Therefore, Proeja is seen as a union of Professional and Technological Education (EPT) with Youth and Adult Education (EJA). Thus, this dissertation focuses on the following issue: “How was the process of implementing the Proeja program at the Federal Institute of Acre, Rio Branco campus?”. This, furthermore, implies the following general objective: “To analyze the process of implantation of Proeja at Ifac campus Rio Branco, identifying possible obstacles to the consolidation of the program in the Federal Network”. To reach the proposed objective, a qualitative research was developed, under the scrutiny of the historical and dialectical materialism method, using questionnaire instruments, narrative interviews, bibliographical research and documental analysis. It was found that Proeja, despite having a transformative pedagogical proposal, in the factual context faced several obstacles. The first one concerns its own origin, as it inherited the historical baggage of the modalities that gave rise to it. The second refers to its implementation, which was carried out lightly and without proper planning. The third, finally, concerns the specificities of its target audience and the institutional reality itself, which were disregarded when the form of execution was thought of. In view of the results obtained throughout the research, especially in the narrative interviews, it was decided to produce a documentary as an educational product because it allows for the revival of the actors' memories and a better understanding of the reality perceived at the time of the Program's implementation.
