Trabalho e educação no Curso Técnico em Agropecuária do CEFET-Januária-MG: rompendo modelos de ensino

Abstract

This work had all its theoretical-practice basis on which model of teaching system would be the best one, concerning the preparation of students from Cefet-Januária to act with competence at work, to provide changes on the way the agriculture and cattle-breeding of the region known as a subsistence one flows. The research was held on a very participative way. Closed questionnaires and specific interviews were used involving students, former students, teachers and former teachers who took part on different teaching systems Cefet- Januária has been through, including the present one. A vast literature about the theme Work and Education was read, due to the fact that our research is focused on the theme: Work and Education on the Technical Course of Agriculture and Cattle-Breeding at Cefet-Januária: Breaking Teaching Models . The focus of our research was which model of teaching would be best for the formation of the technician on agriculture and cattle-breeding: if the old one, on which the student had the practice working as a cheap productive labour, or the present one, where the practice is almost inexistence. We hope that this work can contribute for necessary changes of paradigm, so as to form competent professionals who can serve the rural demand of our region.
