This article aims to elaborate on the epistemological trajectory of the definition of the concept of polytechnics as a pedagogical principle and to explain why it is the fundamental foundation of integral polytechnic education. It analyzes the Marxian conception of education comparing the French, English, Portuguese and Brazilian versions (MARX, 1976, 1982, 1983, 1996), as well as some of the most important Brazilian scholarly writings on the subject (SAVIANI, 1989, 2003, 2007; KUENZER, 1989, 2005; FRIGOTTO, 2002, 2012; SOARES, 2000, 2004; LOMBARDI, 2008; SANFELICE, 1991; NOGUEIRA, 1990; NOSELLA, 2004, 2007, 2009) including Manacorda (2010) to demonstrate the importance, but at the same time, the limits of the concept of work as an educational principle. The result of the study points to the need to: a) update the Marxian conception of education; b) complement work as an educational principle with polytechnics as a pedagogical principle; c) operationalize pedagogical practice by the formulation of polytechnics as a pedagogical principle; d) present the polytechnic integral education, from kindergarten to higher education, as an alternative to the pedagogical proposals of state education.

Keywords : Polytechnics; Educational Principle; Pedagogical Principle.
