The Intellectual Graduation and School Management in Integrated Education

Abstract

The public policies in the first decades of XXI century in Brazil, which have enabled the expansion of professional and technological education, have brought with itself a proposal of integrated education. The educators that follow integrated education consider the need of articulate professional education with high school, according to the gramscian concept of "work as the educational principle" and "unitary school". This research considers the assumption that school management, inserted in a social transformation project on Professional and Technological Education scope (EPT), does not break apart administrative and educational aspects, but also considers it as a unique and same process which contributes to intellectual graduation (managers). The research has a qualitative imprint and the used methodological procedures correspond to a document and literature analysis. Thereby, the aim of the research is to understand the possibilities of intellectual graduation on integrated education, considering that its conceptual foundations are aligned to marxist theoretical-methodological reference.
