O PROFESSOR DO ENSINO BÁSICO, TÉCNICO E TECNOLÓGICO:

INSTITUCIONALIDADE ORNITORRINCA? FRENTES DE LUTAS NOS GIROS DE UM CALEIDOSCÓPIO

Abstract

This article aims to analyze, in the historical context, the implementation of the Federal Institutes (FIs) and the teacher of Basic, Technical and Technological Education (BTTE), seeking to problematize the teaching work in its complexity. We used an integrative review of the literature on the subject. The results show that the FIs occupy a prominent role in the Brazilian educational system, by offering a proposal of verticalized academic action, anchored in the indissociability between research and extension, and materialized from the creation of the BTTE career. The latter, in turn, is part of a spectrum that can oscillate between the poles of innovation-precariousness, especially when observed in the face of the demands of the neoliberal political project. In this sense, we draw attention to the need for two fronts of struggles, which corroborate with the strengthening of the identity of professor BTTE and the desired project in the law of creation of FIs. They are: 1) Consolidation of a political-pedagogical training, based on the structuring foundations and educational principles of the institution; 2) The construction of a "resistance from within", which unfolds in the critical re-elaboration of public knowledge, through teaching, research and extension actions, as well as, in the imbrication with the agendas of social movements, unions, scientific organizations, political, artistic and cultural.
