O processo de verticalização no Instituto Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul e o fazer pedagógico

Abstract

In Brazil, from 2008 onwards, with the Law no 11.892/2008, the Federal Institutes were created, which has as one of their purposes the verticalization of teaching and institutional educational structure, which occurs when it is capable of offering courses at different levels and teaching modalities. The verticalization means that the teachers work simultaneously on courses at different levels of education. In this context, there is a need to adjust pedagogical practice content and language to serve audiences with different levels of intellectual maturity. The main objective of the present study was to analyze the verticalization of teaching at the Federal Institute of Mato Grosso do Sul (IFMS), Campus Coxim, to understand the pedagogical work of teachers in relation to didactics and methodology. An informative video was developed as an educational product about the pedagogical work of teachers in the face of the verticalization of teaching. The instruments and procedures used in the investigation included bibliographical research, qualitative research, application of questionnaires and interview with teachers at IFMS Campus Coxim, who had experience working in Basic Education and Higher Education. The interviewees evaluated the verticalization as a positive and necessary purpose for the Campus and the versatility by teaching level was perceived as both an advantage and disadvantage for the teaching staff, which revealed that a worrying aspect is the lack of interest of the students in remaining at the institution to attend higher education, since many of them seek universities in other locations.
