Abstract

BORGES, KAMYLLA PEREIRA. Work and education: conceptions of policies for EFA and integrated high school students. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.74, pp.1174-1200.  Epub Nov 19, 2022. ISSN 1981-416X.  https://doi.org/10.7213/1981-416x.22.074.ds08.

The objective of this research is to understand the conception of education and work of the students of the integrated technical courses of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Goiás (IFG) Campus Anápolis and to undertake an analysis regarding the conception of work and education contained in the educational policies focused on Vocational and Technological Education (EPT) from the LDB/1971 to the 2017 High School Reform (Law 13415/2017), taking into account how the theory of human capital influences the ways in which education and work are perceived in educational policies for EFA. Knowing these concepts will contribute to the study and implementation of actions aimed at strengthening a concept of EPT that goes beyond pure and simple preparation for the job market, as required by neoliberal ideology. This is a qualitative study, exploratory, descriptive and analytical, developed in two phases: phase 1 - bibliographic review and document analysis and phase 2 - field research. In general, it can be seen that policies aimed at EPT in Brazil are in line with the imperatives of the Theory of Human Capital, based on a concept of limited education and work, which refers only to meeting the dictates of the capitalist market. Students participating in the research have difficulties in understanding EFA and work in a more critical perspective. What does not happen with education, is seen as fundamental for emancipation, development of autonomy, of criticism.
