Inventário patrimonial: orientações, sentidos e responsabilidade no contexto da educação profissional e tecnológica

Abstract

This Interactive Digital Guide is an educational product linked to the master's thesis developed within the scope of the Postgraduate Program in Professional and Technological Education (ProfEPT), of the Federal Institute of Minas Gerais (IFMG).

Its objective is to contribute to the understanding of the asset inventory as a strategic institutional practice, fundamental for the organization, planning and quality of educational processes.

The asset inventory, often associated only with bureaucratic requirements, is understood here as an element that sustains the material conditions necessary for the development of teaching, research and extension. By guaranteeing the knowledge, control and responsible use of public assets, the inventory strengthens institutional management and directly impacts the daily school life and the teaching-learning process.

This guide was conceived with a formative and guiding approach, seeking to engage with different audiences in the academic community — staff, students and other collaborators without the intention of replacing technical manuals or institutional regulations. The proposal is to foster awareness, a sense of co-responsibility, and an understanding of the roles each actor plays in the asset inventory process.

This guide was developed based on the author's institutional experience in the administrative and asset management area of ​​IFMG, combined with research developed in the ProfEPT program. The aim is to bring the topic of asset inventory closer to the institutional daily life, contributing to the formation of a culture of co-responsibility, care for public assets, and strengthening the material conditions that support the institution's educational project. Aligned with the principles of Professional and Technological Education, such as human and integral formation, emancipation, and social commitment, the guide uses accessible language and interactive resources to bring the topic closer to institutional reality. Throughout the material, the reader will find reflections, general guidelines, best practices, and links that allow for further study according to their interest and needs.
