“Sou professor da EP: o que devo saber?”: ampliando os saberes para a atuação docente na educação profissional

Abstract

This pedagogical support material entitled “I am a professor at Technological Professional Education EP...what should I know? was built from a master’s research that aimed to analyze the constitution of the teaching of unlicensed professionals (bachelors and technologists) working in technical vocational education of medium level (EPTNM). In this qualitative research, 07 teachers who work in this teaching modality were interviewed. Among the knowledge that forms the basis for teaching, experience knowledge stands out, especially that which comes from working in the labor market and from references from former teachers who are considered good teachers. Also in the teachers’ reports unanimity, was found in the lack of reading and discussions about the specific knowledge of vocational education, that is, the theoretical basis that supports this training, as well as some reported difficulties arising from the lack of pedagogical training. In view of these findings, we decided to create a pedagogical support material that could contribute to the construction of this knowledge by non-licensed professionals who work as teachers in professional education, providing subsidies for the improvement of their pedagogical practice, as well as for the implementation of professional education based on its theoretical bases.
