Arts in professionalization: programmings of the center for rural education of Aquidauana, Mato Grosso do Sul State - doi: 10.4025/actascieduc.v32i2.10392

Abstract

This article is result from a research on professional-technical high school, focusing to prepare agricultural and cattle technicians. The study aimed to know the model and the professionalization programs, accomplished in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, during the period of 1974-2001, having as reference the Center of Agricultural Education of Aquidauana (CERA). As reference of analysis, the Foucauldian studies are used and as method, the description of programming standards and behaviors developed in the Institution, enrolled in specific projects of national education. We concluded that these programs were not identical in the studied period, i.e., there were changes in the formation/professionalization that occurred inside the Institution, with justification and appeal to the transformations that occurred in the work market, especially in the 1990s. This type of educational modality and the speeches that have sustained their practices, such as the listed  programs in the education offered by CERA, have contributed for the continuity of an exclusionary educational system, the setting of stereotypes about the individual and collective capacities and the naturalization of the professional high school in the State and the Country.
