A formação do professor de química para atuação na educação profissional e tecnológica: princípios pedagógicos para a formação do trabalhador

Abstract

Professional and Technological Education (EPT), in Brazil, is expanding and undergraduate courses in Chemistry at Federal Institutes (IFs) discuss this type of education. This work investigated how to outline the formation of Chemistry teachers, at Federal Institutes, regarding the competence to work in EPT, as an auxiliary assistant in the training of workers. In order to analyze both the Pedagogical Projects of undergraduate courses in Chemistry of the IFs, which are available on the Internet, and the presence of EPT in its objectives, the offer of subjects that discuss this form of education, mandatory the action of an intern at EPT, in list of bibliographies that consider an EPT and no profile of its graduates. The research results point to the need to restructure the Chemistry Degree courses in order to better prepare teachers for EPT. To understand or determine the worker who is already trained in EFA, discuss the necessary domains for that worker who may be related to the domain about his work. To prepare the future teacher of performance at EPT, consider the training of a worker with training in the science of his work, art of his work, ethics specific to his work, possibility of innovation and management in his work. As a possibility of action, describing an experience with a discipline of Fundamentals of Professional Education, offered to students of the 9th period of the degree course in Chemistry at the Federal Institute of Mato Grosso do Sul, and the preparation for action at EPT, analyzing it as tests of students include before and after taking a course. This work showed that undergraduate courses in Chemistry at the FIs are not considering training for EPT in their PPC Project, but that it is necessary in the training of Chemistry teachers. This teacher must prepare for his classes there is an appropriate action for this type of education. It is important that all actors responsible for building the curriculum operate in the direction of consolidating EFA in our parents. It is important that the Pedagogical Projects of Degree Courses in Chemistry consider Professional Education as an important part in the training for the job.
