Teacher training and praxis in professional and technological education (EPT): challenges for a human and critical training of technical course students

This study aims to analyze the challenges faced by teachers at Centro Territorial do Piemonte da Diamantina II (CETEP), located in the city of Jacobina-BA, when implementing pedagogical actions in Vocational and Technological Education (EPT), with a view to the formation of critical and autonomous subjects. The reflections were produced in dialogue with five collaborating professors, through interviews and discussion groups, carried out through the virtual platform Google Meet, given the need for social distancing, caused by Covid-19. The theoretical voices summoned to support the arguments deal with the axes Professional and Technological Education Integrated to High School and Teacher Training. The results point to the need for a praxis that points to more systematic, interdisciplinary pedagogical actions, based on the diversity of local and global cultures as well as on the diversity of languages, with an emphasis on the human and professional training of students, protagonists of contemporary society.
