O ensino de história nos cursos técnicos em agropecuária inte-grados ao ensino médio do Instituto Federal do Rio Grande do Sul – IFRS

Abstract

This thesis' topic is the Teaching of History in the technical courses in Agriculture and Livestock Production integrated into the secondary level education of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Sul - IFRS. It seeks to understand how History Teaching was processed in theses courses, from its creation to the graduation of its first classes, bearing in mind the pedagogical proposal of Integrated Teaching, that is, of a secondary level education that proposes an Integrated Technical Education in High School. Therefore, the Course Plans of the three courses of this nature were analyzed in the IFRS, offered in the Bento Gonçalves, Ibirubá and Sertão campuses. Also analyzed were the Education Plans and the Class Diaries used by History teachers of these courses between 2009 and 2013, which corresponds to the interval between the start and the graduation of the first classes of each campus. The analysis of these documents was based on the assumptions of the method of documentary analysis, seeking to compare the textual aspects of these sources with those of political-institutional documents and bibliographic references of the Integrated Teaching. History teachers, pedagogical coordinators and managers who have been involved in the implantation and implementation of these courses also were interviewed. In addition, objective questionnaires were sent to the students who graduated from the courses in order to assess their evaluation of the History Teaching they had in classroom, taking into account the perspective of integrated vocational education in secondary school. As results, the main education limiters were presented, as well as the main strategies for overcoming difficulties, both on behalf of the teachers and the by coordinators and managers, in the processes of implantation and implementation of these courses.
