A proposta de formação das escolas estaduais de educação profissional no Ceará: uma análise à luz da escola unitária gramsciana

Abstract

The article reflects on the proposal of education of the state schools in Ceará. It is worth emphasizing that this type of education meets the Decree 5.154 / 2004 which reinforces the integration of Vocational Education to the secondary school level, and the Law 11,741 / 2008 suggesting the integration of Vocational Education at different levels and modalities of education and at working , scientifical and technological dimensions. At that time, we analyzed the Gramscian unitary school that offers an education beyond the immediacy of the labor market. This way, we combine the study of the design of the Brazilian vocational education focusing on the changes in the working environment, from the 1970s, especially under the influence of the Human Capital Theory and productive pedagogy. For those analyses we use Cunha (2000) and Saviani (2008) who discuss the ways of Brazilian Vocational Education. With regard to changes in the working area, it is used contributions from Frigotto (2010; 1995), among others. It is worth emphasizing that the research is anchored in the Gramsci’s unitary school (1989) when it proposes the link between the school of manual labor and the school of intellectual work forming specialists-managers able to unite theory and practice in any field of employment, beyond specializations.
