O currículo integrado nos documentos do IFRN: perspectivas e desafios

Abstract

This article approaches the perspectives and challenges faced by the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN) that sets in motion the curricular integration. The methodology had documental research that analysed the Pedagogical Political Project (PPP) of the institution and another five Course Pedagogical Projects (PPC) of different Integrated Vocational High School Courses. We perceived, in the PPPs, the concern of IFRN to highlight the theoretical Marxist basis that are present in their curriculum. The integral formation and the necessary articulation between general formation and vocational formation are also highlighted throughout the entire document. Although the PPCs have some recurrences of the principles defended by the PPPs, we also perceived the detachment, in some occasions, from the proposals of the document that supports the integrated curriculum at IFRN.
