Professional education

faces and interfaces of reforms

Abstract

Vocational education, in the language of LDB 9394/96, or training technical-professional, in the language of the past, has been constituting in Brazil
compensatory education to the regular schooling of the working masses. It's not has been the perspective of professional education in the developed capitalist world. This study is based on a survey of teachers from the Center Federal University of Technological Education (CEFET), having as its central objective a on the Reform of Technical and Technological High School highlighting the changes that occurred after the Reforms of the 1990s. We believe that the courses should be built on characteristics, skills, objectives drawn from the world of work (and not just from the labor market), with the participation of different sectors of society. In summary, we can see the fragility of technical education through the adoption of modular education; devaluation teacher; the prioritization of “know-how” and “know-how” over the real professional qualification and ostensible market orientation.
