OS MOTIVOS POLÍTICOS PARA A INCORPORAÇÃO DOS CURSOS DE LICENCIATURA NOS INSTITUTOS FEDERAIS DE EDUCAÇÃO

Abstract

This work aims to outline reflections and discussions about neoliberal educational policies for teacher training, engendered from the 1990s onwards, in order to understand the relationships that are established between these policies and the reasons that determined the legal obligation of the offering degree courses at the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology (IF). The methodology used in the investigation was of a qualitative nature, carried out through documentary and bibliographic research in authors who are dedicated to unraveling the dichotomies and contradictions of capitalism inserted in educational policies and reforms, specifically, in authors who problematize the public policy that incorporated the teacher training courses in the scenario offered by IF. The results showed that in addition to the justification of supplying the shortage of teachers in Brazil, which is a historical and structural problem, including in the Federal Network itself, there is a clear motivation to meet and respond to the goals required by international organizations, among which the World Bank (BM), to be highlighted. Among the findings of the research, it is evident that the training courses for teachers offered in the Institutes, for the most part, have an instrumental teaching, centered on technical rationality, due to the fact that there are still teachers working in the degrees without having pedagogical training and also due to the fact that the IF, in essence, are vocational education institutions.
