COSTA, Patrícia Furtado Fernandes and MACHADO, Lucília Regina de Souza. THE SOCIOLOGICAL VIEW AS A PILLAR OF INTEGRATED HIGH SCHOOL. e-Curriculum [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.1, pp.348-367. Epub May 10, 2021. ISSN 1809-3876. https://doi.org/10.23925/1809-3876.2021v19i1p348-367.
The problem that led to the elaboration of this article concerns the need to analyze how Sociology or its components can enable the integration of contents of technical courses and general secondary education, that is, whether they hold some context specificity in combining high schools with technical high schools and what that would be. Such an examination was justified by the urgency in the definition of strategies that contribute to overcome the structural duality of Brazilian education and to promote student’s knowledge. Answering this question is the purpose of this article, which demarcates its propositional character. To achieve this goal, a research of theoretical revision and another one of empirical approach was implemented with the professors of Sociology of Federal Institutes. The main result of this analysis concerns the importance of the specificity of the sociological gaze as an element of connection between the contents of technical courses and secondary education. The development of this gaze in the pedagogical activity of teachers and in the students’ learning leads to the exercise of the questioning of estrangement, distrust and doubt, giving way instead to the necessary contextualization and denaturation of social concepts, behaviors and practices.
