Políticas públicas para a educação profissional: um estudo do curso técnico em Administração da Rede e-Tec Brasil no CAVG.

Abstract

This research consisted of analyzing the Technical Course of Administration through distance learning at CAVG, linked to e-TeC Brazil Network, to identify possibilities and challenges of this modality in training, aiming to contribute to possible adjustments and improvements. To support the proposed research we analyze, discuss, and contextualize the current moment of educational policy in Brazil. Subsequently we present a summary of the major historical moments and the impact of education policies in vocational education in Brazilian federal network. Finally, we deal with e-TeC Brazil Network from the perspective announced in official documents to bring out the rationality present in this education modality, from earliest manifestation to date. The research adopts assumptions of qualitative approach and uses case study methodology, taking as data sources official documents, semi-structured interviews, and questionnaires applied to the different segments/individuals involved with the course researched. For data collected analysis, the methodology of content analysis associated with the approach of the policies cycle was used. The study shows several favorable aspects of the e-TeC Network, more specifically in relation to the provision of the technical course in Administration, as the possibility of contributing to the professional qualification, insertion and promotion of people in the labor market, also collaborating with the acquisition of better living conditions, a more extensive training of the individuals, and with the economic and social development of the local and regional community, where the poles are inserted. It could be seen that the major aspects which require further analysis and reorientation refer, more clearly, to the development of e-TeC Network own policy, so at the central level, where factors such as lack of employment relationship of teachers and tutors, intensification and precariousness of teaching work, and the overgrowth of the Network have already led to some weaknesses that affect the quality of the work.
