Abstract
The Technical Professional Education integrated with the High School program, offered by the Federal Institutes (IFs), is part of a perspective that focuses on the comprehensive and omni lateral education of the student. Whereas the “new” High School, set forth by Law No. 13.415/2017, runs counter to this perspective, as it is founded on a neoliberal perspective of education. From this context, this paper sought to answer the following question: What are the repercussions of the implementation of the “new” High School, in terms of conception, in the integrated technical high school program in Mechanics at IFMG - Congonhas campus? Thus, the general objective was to analyze and understand the possible repercussions of the “new” High School on the integrated technical program in Mechanics at IFMG, Congonhas campus, if the "new" High School were to be implemented in the federal education network. The research results, based on a documentary analysis, allowed us to perceive that the implementation of the “new” High School, guided by the BNCC, presents new challenges for the Integrated Technical Program in Mechanics at IFMG, Congonhas campus, mainly in terms of the conception of training and curricular organization. While the integrated technical program in mechanics seeks comprehensive and omni lateral education, the “new” High School focuses on a conception that aligns with neoliberalism. The curricular organization proposed by the BNCC reduces the number of hours of various courses, some of which are no longer mandatory, jeopardizing the student's comprehensive education. The analysis of the interviews showed the participants' limited understanding, both regarding the policies proposed by the "new" High School and the repercussions they might bring to the integrated technical program. If the implementation in the Mechanics program at IFMG, Congonhas campus, were to occur, they would be resistant, as they expressed opposition to various aspects of the new law. It also became evident that there are gaps in the understanding of what integrated education is, highlighting the need for more research on this topic at IFMG and, more generally, in the Federal Institutes. The findings, on the one hand, can contribute significantly to advancing the educational debate on the implications and challenges related to the implementation of new educational proposals and, on the other hand, reinforced the results of previous studies (Both, 2019; Dutra, 2022), demonstrating the importance of a more holistic and integrated approach in the development and implementation of educational policies. This research also produced an e-book named “Integrated High School: a possibility to overcome the ‘new’ High School,” whose objective was to draw a parallel between the Integrated High School and the “new” High School. This material can be used by students, teachers, managers, and other educators to understand the proposals of the “new” High School in its historical-political context so that they can uncover the various paths and “missteps” to which this mode of education has been subjected throughout the history of education.
