PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION OF THE FEDERAL NETWORK IN THE FACE OF ETHNIC AND CULTURAL DIVERSITY

Abstract

This is a study that deals with vocational and technological education - EPT proposed by the Federal Network of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education, also known as the Federal Network, in view of the diversity illustrated, specifically, by the vertices of rural education and school education indigenous, having as target audience indigenous and non-indigenous students from the rural context. The objective is to analyze the professional and technological education policy in the field of rural education and indigenous school education in the face of the habitus cultivated in the professional and technological education system, as well as to understand how professional and technological education is organized and how it should aim at teaching and curricular practice in the political and ideological space full of demands linked to typical idiosyncrasies, which trigger, whenever possible, enigmas of rurality and indianity within the territorial and geographical limits that present themselves. In these terms, it starts from an essentially bibliographical research linked to anthropological history and theories, connected to participant observation in the field of research, having as a technical and methodological subsidy the non-directive interview, in a theoretical and epistemological basis of education based on the conceptual fragments of classic and contemporary authors in the area. From this point of view, it is argued that the educational concept and curriculum adopted by the Federal Network in the face of ethnic and cultural diversity are based, in part, on the pedagogical guidelines typical of urban educational logic. That is, the pillars of the concept of rural and indigenous education are not being built from practices capable of materializing the broader objectives sought by the social movement of peasant workers and indigenous entities, for the training of members of the respective organizations and for future generations.
