O processo de implementação do currículo integrado em uma escola técnica de saúde à luz das representações dos docentes e da avaliação discente

Abstract

This paper examines the development of key activities that reflect the perspective of teachers and students about the integrated curriculum adopted by the ETESB’s nursing technical course, using bibliographical and documentary research and qualitative and quantitative approaches as well, correlating historical and institutional context with concepts related to curriculum theories and education of professional technical level in Brazil. Predominantly qualitative in nature, this research works with content analysis of interviews with teachers and posterior triangulation of this information with quantitative data obtained by processing the responses of students in a semi-structured questionnaire. The result of this analysis provided the definition of three categories: place of the subjects of the learning, the link between theory and practice and evaluation practices. From the analysis of these categories was observed that teachers do not see themselves as individuals who share responsibility for planning activities and other duties provided by the curriculum, as well as keeping their school practices in accordance with the social representations provided by the traditional method, which means neither they nor students work with the problematization, being clear also the absence of an institutional project of evaluation. By exposing an overview of current curriculum practices in this course, this study proposes the construction of new pathways starting from the subjects's participation in the planning of activities and also the teaching qualification through the building of courses that use active methods compatible with those that teachers must apply in the School.
