Abstract

The present work analyzed the perception of the graduates of the IFAM / CMA integrated technical course in agriculture regarding the process of technical and human formation. The research is part of the line of research Management and Organization of the pedagogical space in professional and technological education and in macroproject 01 Methodological proposals and didactic resources in formal and non-formal teaching spaces in EPT. The objective of investigating if Ifam campus Maués, through the integrated technical course in agriculture provides its graduates a formation beyond the technical formation: an integral human formation. The research had a qualitative approach and used as method the application of open interviews. Thirteen graduates of the integrated technical course in agriculture of the groups from 2012 to 2018, from February to March 2019, were heard. This information supported the production of a documentary, educational product, and served as the basis for the composition of the dissertation, requirements for obtaining the title of Master of the Professional Master Program in Professional and Technological Education - ProfEPT. The research results point to the ignorance of what is integral human formation, although they recognize that they live in an extremely unequal and prejudiced country. The technical training, due to the few possibilities of activities during the course, was presented as “deficient” to 40%, especially in the practical part, although the theoretical training was considered positive. The graduates pointed out the teachers' performance, especially in the disciplines of the human sciences area, as being the ones that provoked discussions and debates of relevant themes and that contributed the most to the reflection about their lives, existences and future projects. It is concluded, therefore, that IFAM / CMA still needs to respond to a more efficient technical training - especially in the aspect of practical training, however through its physical structure and group of professionals, plays a fundamental role in the formation of new generations of maueenses, by provoking reflection on the urgent problems of society.
