Uma cartilha explicativa para acolhimento e ambientação dos ingressantes no ensino técnico integrado ao ensino médio na perspectiva da permanência e êxito estudantil

Abstract

Admission to the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology is a big step in the lives of many candidates who apply for the selective admission process. Many do not know, however, how the education system is structured and are not even aware of the High School Integrated Technical Education curriculum, which can interfere with their initial impressions and permanence. This work intends to identify which institutional and pedagogical aspects should be widely understood by newcomers to enhance the permanence and success rates of Integrated High School students at IFMS – Campo Grande Campus. As a theoretical framework for learning we are based on Vygotsky's Cultural-Historical theory, associated with the methodology of microgenetic analysis, contributions that subsidized us in how to inquire the participants, how to analyze their answers during the interactive moments and how to work the articulation of these elements for the proposition of a well-structured educational product from the pedagogical point of view. In the methodological path we adopted for this research, of an exploratory nature and qualitative approach, we seek to understand which are the fundamental, institutional and pedagogical aspects that are relevant to the permanence and success of students. This search takes place through a specialized bibliography, institutional documents and programs, the perception of civil servants who work directly with the student public, as well as the impressions of incoming students. We applied questionnaires to 80 incoming students and 30 civil servants in order to investigate expectations and needs. Aligning with the Program objectives, in particular the researched reality, transforming it, an educational product was developed in the format of a digital booklet, in an easy language that provides an understanding of Integrated High School specialties, as well as the institutional potential and possibilities for this level and modality of teaching of Vocational and Technological Education. We applied the digital booklet during the Freshmen Reception Week on campus, for the beginning classes of the first semester of 2023 of the Technical Courses in Administration, Informatics, Electrotechnics and Mechanics and servers working in the setting and reception. After applying the educational product, we delivered questionnaires to newcomers and civil servants, examined the results using the Microgenetic Analysis method and identified the most relevant information for the integration of freshmen. The results showed that the booklet promoted understanding about the opportunities, resources and information available at the institution, allowing to assist students in this period of transition and adaptation.
