POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS E GESTÃO DA EDUCAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL E TECNOLÓGICA NO SISTEMA ESTADUAL DO PARÁ

Abstract

The State Vocational and Technological Education of Pará has been characterized by presenting a trajectory marked by constant reforms, which have made it difficult to improve many of its aspects, including those of a political-pedagogical nature. Thus, the research we developed sought to discuss the management policies applied to Vocational and Technological Education (EPT) of this teaching system throughout different government projects, in order to understand how government positions impacted the design/model of professional education adopted by this education system and what were its consequences in the teaching work and in the conduction of High School Integrated to Professional Education. The methodology used in this research consisted of a literature review, document analysis and data collection through interviews. Over the period under study (from 1998 to 2018), it was found that the hegemony in the application of managerial practices was the factor that most contributed to the current condition of lethargy presented by it. It was also found that the lack of clarity regarding the pedagogical model that is adopted by the network, creates a lot of imprecision regarding the profile of graduates who are intended to train in technological courses. In the theoretical argument, authors who use historical-dialectical materialism were chosen, as we understand that this method is carried out through the movement of thought through the historical materiality of men's lives in society and, in this sense, it is suitable for reading the inter- -relation that takes place between education, work and public policies.
