Ensino Médio Integrado no IFMT: “travessia” para a formação politécnica, omnilateral e unitária?

Abstract

The present thesis aims to analyze the contradictions and the possibilities of "pathway" to the polytechnic, omnilateral and unitary formation, considering the relationship between land, work and education, in the Secondary Education Integrated to the Technical Education in Agriculture of IFMT (Instituto Federal de Mato Grosso). The referential method for building the project, conducting the research, and analyzing the data collected is the dialectical historical materialism, with a qualitative approach. It involves interrelated stages of data collecting, including document analysis, participating observations, and strategy based on focus groups. The thesis is structured under three dimensions: Land, Labor, and Education. The first chapter addresses the formation of the Brazilian State and the issue of access, ownership and use of land, its tensions, conflicts and contradictions. The second chapter presents some necessary categories for the discussion on the State-Labor-Education relationship, such as polytechnic, omnilateral and unitary formation, with the Integrated Secondary Education as a possibility in the current reality. The last chapter is dedicated to the findings of the empirical research, seeking to identify the relations and correlations of forces that have been established in the constitution and development of the pedagogical project of Integrated Secondary Education to the Technical Education in Agriculture in IFMT, considering the socio-economic-cultural context, based on the dispute for hegemony between sectors of agribusiness and the social project of the Rural Social Movements; It also analyzes, within this contradictory reality, the possibilities of "pathway" to a polytechnic, omnilateral and unitary formation. The proposal under construction in IFMT's Integrated Secondary Education to Technical Education in Agriculture is a product of the dispute for hegemony between the socialist conception supported by the Rural Social Movements, and the technical and utilitarian conception defended by agribusiness segments. In the Federal Institutes, possibilities and paths are being built, with many challenges, for a polytechnic, omnilateral, and unitary formation.
