TEACHER TRAINING FOR METAMORPHOSIS EDUCATION IN FEDERAL INSTITUTES: A RIGHT GUARANTEED OR RESTRICTED IN EDUCATIONAL POLICIES?

Abstract

This text problematizes the training of teachers for the work in vertical teaching-learning in the Federal Institutes of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education (IFs). These institutions, from Law 11.892/2008, changed from Federal Centers of Technological Education (CEFET) to IFs, with university status, obliging teachers to work from high school to graduate school in a new administrative and pedagogical organization. In this scenario, many professors enter teaching in the IFs without qualification for the teaching and, even so, assume different syllabuses, elaborate different teaching plans in the verticalized teaching process and have an intense workday in other functions. Therefore, it is intended to analyze whether training for  the teaching in Vocational and Technological Education (EPT) is a right guaranteed or curtailed by law. Using a qualitative approach, document analysis is adopted as the collection procedure. The results indicate that initial and continuing teacher training for  the EPT is required by law and that new teachers in IFs are assured the right to participate in initial training, which may be in the form of a lato sensu postgraduate or scrictu sensu, doctorate. However, the IFs, which, in 2023, are 15 years old, do not, in fact, have an educational policy for teaching training, in order to assist teachers in the complex performance of vertical education (from high school to postgraduate) , a fact that contributes to restricting the right to training that helps them build the identity of EBTT teachers, as well as to the materiality of teaching-learning processes of excellence from high school to graduate school.
