PERCEPTIONS OF PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS ABOUT THE CURRICULAR REORGANIZATION OF THE NOVO ENSINO MÉDIO

Abstract

This study aimed to understand the perceptions of teachers of professional and technological education at Fundação Osorio regarding the current curricular organization proposed by the Novo Ensino Médio. To this end, the data was collected through a qualitative survey, through the application of an online questionnaire with 35 professors of professional and technological education at Fundação Osorio, using the Google Forms tool. The data was analyzed using Content Analysis. The results indicate that the consequences of the High School Reform fall mainly on teachers of propaedeutic education, while teachers of technical subjects reported few implications for didactic-pedagogical work and the teaching-learning process. Furthermore, many teachers believe that the Novo Ensino Médio could negatively impact the quality of technical courses and the profile of professionals to be trained, given the devaluation of some subjects in the curricula to the detriment of others, in addition to the lack of preparation and effective adherence of teachers and students to the reform. Interdisciplinarity was cited as the main benefit of the reform, however, at the same time, carrying out integrated activities and assessments was highlighted as the main difficulty, given the grouping of disciplines into large areas. This research allows us to advance the still incipient discussion about the importance of evaluating school curricula, especially after the Novo Ensino Médio, since the reform is recent and few studies have evaluated its consequences.
