Inter-relação dos saberes da disciplina de Biologia e as do técnico agropecuária no PROEJA: Implicações na formação profissional dos educandos(as)

Abstract

In the Brazilian social context, many young people who participate in the National Program for the Integration of Vocational Education incorporated into Basic Education in the modality of Youth and Adult Education (PROEJA) face an educational reality marked by withdrawal and resistance, expectation and overcoming due to the increase in Full-time activities. We investigate the proximity and distance between the knowledge of the discipline of Biology and those of the Agricultural Technician enrolled in their menus, verifying its implications in the professional formation of the students in PROEJA. This research is characterized as qualitative ethnographic, bibliographical, documentary and empirical containing information acquired with application of a questionnaire to students of PROEJA (ANDRÉ, 1997; GIL, 2010; MICHALISZYN, 2009; RICHARDSON, 2012). Theoretically, this discussion considers authors who discuss the Education of Young and Adults, Professional Education (MANFREDI, 2003; KUENZER, 2002), PROEJA (Freire, 2007; Bargoos, 2008; Bogdan & BIKLEN, 1994; CURY, 2000; GARCIA, 2001 (TARDIF, 2002) and Interdisciplinarity (FAZENDA, 2002). By interrelating empirical (questionnaire) and documentary information (menus), we verified that, among the disciplinary knowledges of Biology and Agricultural Technician in PROEJA, the theoretical-practical distancing expressed in the incipient forms with which the informants relate such knowledge prevails. It is understood that the educational formation in this modality of education demands more proximity between the theoretical-practical proposals of its disciplines, because the absence of this interdisciplinary dialogue commits the initial and continued professional formation of the students.
