A transversalidade e a formação humana integral na educação profissional e tecnológica

Abstract

Traffic is responsible for over a million deaths worldwide. Among the victims, young people and motorcyclists are the groups most affected by road accidents. In this perspective, this dissertation is linked to the National Network Professional and Technological Education Postgraduate Program – PROFEPT, at the master's level, belonging to the research line Educational Practices in PTE, in the macro project Educational Practices in the Integrated Curriculum. It sought to answer the central question of how the cross-cutting themes of education, health, and traffic are developed for integral human formation in the Integrated Technical Courses at the Federal Institute of Piauí – Piripiri campus. In this direction, this work aimed to analyze the practice of cross-cutting themes in Traffic Education in Health in the Integrated Technical Courses at IFPI, Piripiri campus. The specific objectives were to investigate how the theme of traffic education is addressed by teachers in their respective curriculum components; to identify students' understanding of the applicability of proposed cross-cutting themes; to understand how the Interdisciplinary Study and Research Group in School Health can contribute to the development of Traffic Education and Health among students; and to produce a didactic sequence for subsequent evaluation. This is an applied qualitative research, based on descriptive and exploratory methodological objectives. In terms of the methodological approach, it is a field research. Predefined response questions were analyzed using Descriptive Statistics, including tables, graphs, and percentage calculations. This analysis was considered a secondary step, as Bardin's data analysis guided the analytical and discursive process of open-ended questions in the research instruments. Based on our findings, it became clear that most teachers considered that the Integrated Curriculum directly contributes to the difficulty of incorporating the cross-cutting theme of Traffic Education. Regarding students' understanding of the applicability of proposed cross-cutting themes, we infer that the presence of isolated disciplines and little emphasis on their interconnection reflects the traditional teaching model identified in various current academic situations. In terms of the understanding of the Interdisciplinary Study and Research Group in School Health about its contribution to the development of cross-cutting themes among students, we perceive that they can play a leading role in the academic environment and that the multiprofessional team of administrative technicians in education is only remembered for support and assistance to students. Thinking of ways to bring them closer to teachers and students, with the aim of promoting integral and cross-cutting human formation, is a challenge to be overcome but is already being signaled through committees, research groups, extension projects, and integrators. The Educational Product, Traffic Education in PTE: Pedagogical Strategies and Didactic Sequences, contributes to the research and teaching process as a guiding tool for traffic safety, accident prevention, competence development, and the formation of responsible citizenship. The Educational Product encourages a culture of respect for traffic laws through educational strategies and didactic sequences developed from the perspectives of teachers, students, and administrative education technicians.
