In Sweden, food-related education is vaguely incorporated in several mandatory high school subjects but not much is known about how it is incorporated in the biology and natural science subjects. This study aimed to understand how Swedish high school biology and natural science teachers approach and contribute to food-related education within and across subjects.  This study follows an explorative case-study approach. Biology and natural science high school teachers (n=10) were recruited for this study. A total of four teachers participated in individual semi-structured interviews. All teachers taught natural sciences, three also taught physical education and a fourth teacher also taught biology and chemistry. The interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim using Microsoft Word, and analyzed using an inductive thematic analysis.  The analysis resulted in three major themes: teachers learning objectives in food-related education, teachers’ choice of didactics and cross-curricular teaching. The main findings were that the teachers approached food-related education broadly and had, more or less, the same learning objectives within and across subjects. The teachers expressed varying degrees of collaboration across subjects depending on which subjects they, themselves, were teaching. The teachers all faced challenges regarding dealing with the matter of eating disorders and social media influence which they tackled with various didactical strategies. Numerous factors stand in the way of cross-curricular teaching for food-related education in Sweden, such as time constraints and unclear learning objectives. Several changes are to be made to improve food-related education, Swedish adolescents' nutrition literacy and thereby improve the populations nutritional intake.

The focus of this research project was to determine whether thematic unit instruction or traditional, single-subject instruction was perceived to be the more effective and engaging way of teaching as decided by pre-service teachers. Research has shown that incorporating multiple subjects into one unit or topic of study helps to create more engagement and connections to which students can relate. In creating these connections, students can relate the content to their real life and in turn, better comprehend and retain the material. The pre-service teachers attend the University of Central Florida's College of Education and Human Performance. They voluntarily participated in completing a survey about their perceptions of single subject instruction versus thematic unit instruction. In the survey, the pre-service teachers seemed to be varied on what they believed was a better method of instruction for their future students. The pre-service teachers were split 50/50 as to whether they will teach traditionally, single-subject, or thematically. The pre-service teachers were unanimous in the idea that if they had the support of other teachers and administration as well as resources and research to guide them, that thematic instruction is a method of teaching that they would consider using. Nearly all of the teachers surveyed referred back to doing what is in the best interest of their students.

Two issues are prevalent today in K-6 education-- the integration of the Internet into schools, and the emphasis on guiding children to make wise and healthy lifestyle choices. These are the two themes reflected in this study. The purpose of this study was to design, pilot, and evaluate the Interdisciplinary Internet Module - Healthy Hearts (IIM-HH), an on-line four-week learning module for intermediate grade children. The module was developed to educate youngsters about cardiovascular health, and to encourage them to adopt healthy lifestyles and practice making wise health decisions. The module, delivered via the Internet, allows for interactive, self-directed student learning. It also provides intermediate grade teachers with a valuable resource for teaching important healthy lifestyle concepts, as well as a valuable resource for successful implementation of the Internet into existing curriculums. The Module was piloted with two 5th grade classrooms (N=41) and their teachers (N=2). Qualitative findings from multiple data collection sources provided in-depth insights into the content and technical functionality of the module, and participants' recommendations for change. The formative evaluation revealed the changes that needed to be made before implementation with a large population could be successful. It also revealed that the IIM-HH has the potential to be an effective and motivational instructional unit for both students and teachers. / Ph. D.

Text in Afrikaans / Real empowerment of school learners requires preparing them for the age of technology. This empowerment can be achieved by developing their higher-order thinking skills. This is clearly the intention of the proposed South African FET National Curriculum Statements Grades 10 to 12 (Schools). This research shows that one method of developing higher-order thinking skills is to adopt an integrated curriculum approach. The research is based on the assumption that an integrated curriculum approach will produce learners with a more integrated knowledge structure which will help them to solve problems requiring higher-order thinking skills. These assumptions are realistic because the empirical results of several comparative research studies show that an integrated curriculum helps to improve learners' ability to use higher-order thinking skills in solving nonroutine problems. The curriculum mentions four kinds of integration, namely integration across different subject areas, integration of mathematics with the real world, integration of algebraic and geometric concepts, and integration into and the use of dynamic geometry software in the learning and teaching of geometry. This research shows that from a psychological, pedagogical, mathematical and historical perspective, the theme conic sections can be used as an integrating factor in the new proposed FET mathematics curriculum. Conics are a powerful tool for making the new proposed curriculum more integrated. Conics can be used as an integrating factor in the FET band by means of mathematical exploration, visualisation, relating learners' experiences of various parts of mathematics to one another, relating mathematics to the rest of the learners' experiences and also applying conics to solve real-life problems. / Mathematical Sciences / D.Phil.

Before this challenge, it was sought in a first stage of research to critically understand the meanings of integration, curriculum and the presence / role of technology in the curriculum, specifying how they are considered in the base document of PROEJA, directed to technical professional education at average level / high school and the technical quality course plan, in the PROEJA form, from the São Paulo's campus of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of São Paulo.In a second stage, it was sought to create a critical collaboration context with the teacher of the investigated Computing course. This activity was expanded to other teachers in search of ways to share and build new meanings on the integration of technology into the curriculum of this course.The theoretic-methodological contributions of this research present characteristic of bricolage: to perform the documents analysis, it was employed thematic maps to support bakhtinian's technology and contributions, as well as principles and procedures of the Critical Research Collaboration to the development and analysis of the interaction along with the research subjects.The analysis of the base document points to the defense of an integrating education of basic education and professional education, with references of critical character, to the role of technology in society and in the curriculum. The analysis of the course plan introduces references to the integration and use of technologies with little emphasis on the operationalization of the integrated curriculum and the role of ICT.The analysis of the interaction to the subjects of research shows diverse meanings related to the integration of ICT into the curriculum of the investigated course. The critical-collaborative research conducted with the Computing teacher pointed to the relevance of: articulate the work with both theoretical and practical knowledge in dealing with ICT and create active role opportunities in the process of knowledge construction for the learners. In terms of challenges it has been identified the need for: reconsider the teacher-student relationship, cognize new methodologies aimed at teaching-researchteaching curriculum and other curriculum practices experienced in the other course disciplines.This last challenge conducted the expansion of the research activity to the other teachers of the course, which showed signs of integrating ICTs to the curriculum of several disciplines in which they were used: applications and software, audio, video, animations, teaching materials available on the web; virtual learning environment integrated to the classroom and research on the Internet. To improve such signals of integration it was raised the possibility of: partnerships between the work of the various disciplines and Computing discipline; involvement of technical staff in the process, the organization of a virtual learning environment for PROEJA; exchanges with students from other federal campuses, creation of a virtual space to publish routes and results of projects developed in the course. Before these possibilities, there were raise the difficulties related to the dynamic of class allocation and the lack of staff meetings per course. As a difficulty-possibility, there was raised the creation of spaces for dialogue between PROEJA teachers, a required activity to fulfill the integration of ICT and the curriculum in the mentioned course / Esta pesquisa tem o objetivo de identificar caminhos para a utilização do potencial estratégico das tecnologias da informação e comunicação (TIC), tendo em vista a construção do currículo integrado no âmbito do Programa Nacional de Integração da Educação Profissional com a Educação Básica, na modalidade de Educação de jovens e adultos (PROEJA). Diante de tal desafio, buscou-se, numa primeira etapa da pesquisa, compreender criticamente os significados de integração, currículo e a presença/papel das tecnologias no currículo, especificando como são considerados no documento base do PROEJA, voltado à educação profissional técnica de nível médio/ensino médio e no plano de curso Técnico em qualidade, na modalidade PROEJA, do campus São Paulo do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de São Paulo. Numa segunda etapa, buscou-se criar um contexto crítico colaborativo junto ao professor de Informática do curso investigado, atividade expandida aos demais docentes, na busca de compartilhar sentidos e construir novos significados sobre a integração das tecnologias ao currículo do referido curso. Os aportes teórico-metodológicos da pesquisa apresentam características de bricolagem: para realização da análise documental, lançou-se mão de mapas temáticos com suporte na tecnologia e contribuições bakhtinianas; bem como de princípios e procedimentos da Pesquisa Crítica de Colaboração, para o desenvolvimento e análise da interação junto aos sujeitos da pesquisa. A análise do documento base aponta para a defesa de uma educação integradora da educação básica com a educação profissional, contendo referências, de caráter crítico, ao papel das tecnologias na sociedade e no currículo. A análise do plano de curso apresenta referências à integração e ao uso de tecnologias, sem destaque à operacionalização do currículo integrado e ao papel das TIC. A análise da interação com os sujeitos da pesquisa aponta diversos sentidos e significados relacionados à integração das TIC ao currículo do curso investigado. A investigação crítico-colaborativa realizada junto ao professor de Informática apontou para a pertinência de: articular o trabalho com conhecimentos teóricos e práticos ao abordar as TIC e oportunizar aos educandos um papel ativo no processo de construção de conhecimentos. Como desafios identificou-se a necessidade de: repensar a relação professor-aluno, conhecer novas metodologias voltadas ao ensino-pesquisa-ensino e práticas curriculares vivenciadas nas demais disciplinas do curso. Este último desafio conduziu a expansão da atividade de pesquisa aos demais docentes do curso, que apontou sinais de integração das TIC ao currículo em diversas disciplinas em que eram utilizados: aplicativos e softwares; áudios, vídeos, animações, materiais didáticos disponíveis na rede; ambiente virtual de aprendizagem integrado às aulas e pesquisas na Internet. Para aprimoramento de tais sinais de integração levantou-se a possibilidade de: parcerias entre o trabalho das diversas disciplinas e a disciplina Informática; envolvimento da equipe técnica no processo; organização de um ambiente virtual de aprendizagem para o PROEJA; intercâmbios com alunos de outros campi da rede federal; produção de um espaço virtual para publicar percursos e resultados de projetos desenvolvidos no curso. Diante de tais possibilidades, foram levantadas dificuldades relacionadas à dinâmica de atribuição de aulas e à falta de reuniões de professores por curso. Como dificuldade-possibilidade levantou-se a criação de espaços de interlocução dos professores do PROEJA, atividade necessária para que a integração curricular e das TIC ao currículo possam se realizar no referido curso

Changes caused by the integrated subjects’ proposition contributed to the appearing of new challenges to public High Schools, to education departments and even to the Ministry of Education, caused by their requiring of both conceptual and structural definition of those teaching modalities. The investigation “The Curriculum of the Integrated High School: from intention to accomplishment” is a research which has as its main objective to analyze the integration of high school curriculum and Professional Education in three different schools, as well as to provide evaluative methodology in order to support public schools in curriculum evaluation on this modality. It is, therefore, a scientific job categorized as evaluative research, whose approach is predominantly qualitative. The chosen methodological procedure was the multiple cases study. The chosen schools present the same pattern of subjects’ proposition and are located in three Brazilian states: Ceará, Maranhão and Paraná. The used resources on the research were: students, teachers, school principals, official documents from the school and political documents of government agencies; the following evidence gathering techniques were used: documental analysis, semi-structured interviews, focus groups and observation of developed activities. The results of the investigation imply that, in the studied schools, the integration is idealized and being created in the course plans, but their practical curriculum still follow the dual model, which enables to ensure that integration needs evaluation processes that indicate to the EMI school their needs, difficulties and necessary changes in order to perform the curriculum integration proposed in the documents of the Ministry of Education. The integration requires to be discussed and experienced by teachers, who, in fact, lack the time and place for institutionalized training and analysis of their educational actions, which makes harder to perform a pedagogy that brings the integration as emphasis. The initial thesis given: the curricular integration of EMI only occurs when there is available time and space to the planning, development, rating and formation of teachers for the integration of knowledge and curriculum practices of each teaching unit; was confirmed by the data and analyses made. The research explained that the structural conditions offered to schools are very important to the exercise of integration, because without this there is no integration, just intention. / A modalidade de Ensino Médio Integrado, o EMI, efetivada pelo Decreto Federal nº 5.154- 2004, incidiu sobre a Educação Básica, mais especificamente sobre o Ensino Médio, pois possibilitou a integração curricular deste com a Educação Profissional. As mudanças decorrentes da oferta integrada trouxeram desafios prementes às escolas públicas de Ensino Médio, às secretarias de educação e ao próprio Ministério da Educação, exigindo a redefinição conceitual e estrutural dessas modalidades de ensino. A investigação O Currículo do Ensino Médio Integrado: da intenção à realização é uma pesquisa que tem como objetivo central analisar a integração dos currículos de Ensino Médio e Educação Profissional em três escolas de EMI, bem como de promover metodologia avaliativa que possa subsidiar às escolas públicas na avaliação curricular dessa modalidade. É, portanto, um trabalho científico caracterizado como pesquisa avaliativa, cuja abordagem é predominantemente qualitativa. O procedimento metodológico foi o no estudo de casos múltiplos. As escolas escolhidas apresentam o mesmo padrão de oferta e estão situadas em três estados brasileiros: Ceará, Maranhão e Paraná. As fontes utilizadas na pesquisa foram: os alunos, professores, gestores, os documentos oficiais da escola e da política dos órgãos do governo; quanto às técnicas de coleta de evidências foram usadas: análise documental, entrevistas semiestruturadas, grupos focais e observação das atividades desenvolvidas. Os resultados da investigação indicam que, nas escolas observadas, a integração está idealizada e concebida nos planos de cursos, mas desenvolve-se por práticas curriculares que ainda acompanham o modelo dualista, em que teoria e prática estão dissociadas e acontecem por meio de práticas curriculares isoladas e específicas de cada matéria, o que se possibilita garantir que a integração necessita de processos avaliativos que indiquem às escolas de EMI suas necessidades, dificuldades e mudanças necessárias para efetivar a integração curricular proposta nos documentos do Ministério da Educação. A integração necessita ser discutida e vivenciada pelos docentes, que, na realidade, não dispõem de tempos e espaços de formação e análise de suas ações educativas de forma institucionalizada, o que dificulta a efetivação concreta de uma pedagogia que traz como ênfase a integração. A tese inicial proferida a integração curricular do EMI só correrá de forma efetiva se houver tempos e espaços adequados para o planejamento, desenvolvimento, avaliação e formação dos docentes para a integração curricular, isso tudo apoiado pelas condições estruturais oferecidas às escolas. Sem isso não há integração, somente intenção, foi confirmada pelos dados e análises realizadas.

For this we studied the Bachelor of Natural Science offered by the Instituto Federal de Santa Catarina (SC-IF) - Campuses in San Jose / Installation chemistry (Case A) and Campi Araranguá / Installation Physics (Case B), the Starting in 2008, where teachers used "concept map" in the drafting of curriculum planning with the intention of making it "integrated". We assumed that despite a growing appreciation of the use of concept maps to organize core concepts of academic curricula discussions regarding curricular implications, Brazil and, more specifically, in education, are still scarce. In this sense, reflect on and proposals for curriculum integration within their historical constitution of curriculum studies, the history of thinking about educational curriculum based on the analysis of matrices of classical thought on curriculum and theoretical principles that underlie the cognitive work with the tool "conceptual map" in the organization of curricula and learning. The empirical research found that the use "concept map" has facilitated the construction and representation of the curriculum to promote better understanding and systematization of the ideas worked out by the group during planning. However the curriculum in action" is much more difficult to operationalize this integration of the original proposal or even view it / O presente estudo discute os limites e as possibilidades teórico-metodológicas de mapas conceituais como apoio à construção de currículos integrados para a aprendizagem das ciências. Para isso estudou-se o Curso de Licenciatura em Ciências da Natureza oferecido pelo Instituto Federal de Santa Catarina (IF-SC) no Campus São José/Habilitação Química (Caso A) e no Campus Araranguá/Habilitação Física (Caso B), a partir de 2008, onde os professores utilizaram a ferramenta cognitiva mapa conceitual no processo de elaboração do planejamento curricular com a intenção de torná-lo integrado . Partimos do pressuposto de que apesar de uma crescente valorização do uso de mapas conceituais para organizar os conceitos centrais dos currículos acadêmicos as discussões quanto às implicações curriculares, no Brasil e, mais especificamente, na área de educação, ainda são escassas. Neste sentido, refletimos sobre propostas de integração curricular e sua constituição histórica dentro dos estudos curriculares, a história do pensamento educacional sobre organização curricular a partir da análise das matrizes clássicas de pensamento sobre organização curricular e princípios teóricos que embasam o trabalho com mapas conceituais em organização de currículos e na aprendizagem. Na pesquisa empírica constatamos que o uso de mapas conceituais facilitou a construção e a representação da matriz curricular ao promover um melhor entendimento e sistematização das ideias trabalhadas pelo grupo durante o planejamento. No entanto no currículo em ação é muito mais difícil operacionalizar esta integração da proposta inicial ou mesmo visualizá-la

This present dissertation, submitted to Programa de Pós graduação em ensino de ciências e matemática da Universidade Federal de Sergipe (UFS), performed a study about the integrated curriculum, focusing on analyze its composition and how to know the effective process of learning math, comprehending the composition of this process to this specific grade, having as a base the Nível Técnico and the Nível Médio of the electronic course, of the Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Sergipe – IFS/Campus Aracaju/SE. The organization of the Integrated Curriculum comes from Decree nº 5.154 / 2004. From that, other forms of medium-level professional education was consolidated, including the possibility of the technical teaching way to be offered as an integrated form to the middle school level.In order for the central objective of this research happened, were requested some registration data: document analysis, in order to be able to know how the Integrated Curriculum is organized, examining whether the Pedagogical Project Course of the Nível Técnico and the Nível Médio of the electronic course directs towards the integration Between the different areas of knowledge and identify how mathematical contents are contemplated; We performed semi-structured interview with teachers, but also with the students to evaluate the design of Integrated Curriculum and focus groups with students to identify about the relevance of mathematical subjects to technical training and the meaning attributed to that knowledge. Regarding the document analysis, it shows us how to integrate different kinds of acknowledge ways, not only, affirming that the concretization of the integrated curricular should be a methodology priority appropriating to the school subjects, although the evidence of the purpose could not be shown, by the display of the pedagogical practice of the teachers. It was seized in the speech of teachers and students, conceptions about the Integrated Curriculum clearing pointing out a reference to the course offered which integrates the technical education to the form to the middle school level with school subjects working out with different objectives, in one way the general subjects prepares for the Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio -ENEM, in other hand, it deals with the technique to join the market business. The students noticed the lack of the linking between the school subjects showing out that the math contents effectively turn to the form to the middle school level, and not involving the technical school subjects, demonstrating that the not composable situations between in teacher’s methodology ways affect the learning process of math. In summary, it was concluded by the provided elements that the way of the integrated curriculum is formed, by the lack of the linking of the school subjects in this pedagogical curriculum, don't have significant effect on the process of learning math. / A presente Dissertação, submetida ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ensino de Ciências e Matemática da Universidade Federal de Sergipe (UFS), realizou um estudo acerca do Currículo Integrado, objetivando analisar como se constitui a integração curricular e saber como se efetiva o ensino de Matemática, envolvendo o Curso de Nível Técnico de Nível Médio Integrado em Eletrotécnica do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Sergipe – IFS/Campus Aracaju/SE. A organização do Currículo Integrado se dá a partir do Decreto nº 5.154/2004, consolidando-se outras formas de ensino profissional de nível médio e incluindo-se o compromisso com a possibilidade de o Ensino Técnico ser novamente ofertado de forma integrada com o Ensino Médio. Para que o objetivo central desta pesquisa fosse alcançado, foram utilizados os seguintes instrumentos de coleta de dados: análise documental, de forma a poder conhecer como se organiza o Currículo Integrado, examinando se o Projeto Pedagógico do Curso Técnico de Nível Médio Integrado em Eletrotécnica orienta no sentido da integração entre as diversas áreas do conhecimento; e, ainda, se é possível identificar como os conteúdos matemáticos estão contemplados. Realizamos entrevista semiestruturada com os docentes para investigar qual a concepção de Currículo Integrado e a prática de ensino no âmbito deste currículo e com os grupos focais formados por discentes para, além de investigar a concepção sobre o Currículo Integrado, identificar a pertinência dos assuntos matemáticos voltados à formação técnica e qual o sentido atribuído a esse saber. Como principais resultados, destacamos que o Projeto Pedagógico do Curso apresenta orientação na perspectiva da integração entre as diversas áreas do conhecimento, como também, assinala que para a concretização da integração curricular devem ser priorizadas metodologias adequadas ao propósito da integração entre as disciplinas, embora não foi evidenciada a relação com o proposto pelo documento na concretização objetiva da prática pedagógica dos docentes. A partir dos depoimentos obtidos foram constatadas concepções acerca do Currículo Integrado que apontam de forma mais evidente uma referência à oferta de curso que integra o Ensino Técnico ao Ensino Médio, com disciplinas atuando em função de objetivos distintos, de um lado as disciplinas gerais preparam para o Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio – ENEM; do outro, as técnicas para formação profissional. Os dados demostram ausência de integração entre as disciplinas, tendo sido apontado pelos discentes que os conteúdos da Matemática se voltam mais para o escopo do Ensino Médio, não se relacionando com as disciplinas técnicas, sendo sublinhado que as ações não integradas entre os professores nas situações de ensino afetam a aprendizagem de Matemática. Concluiu-se, a partir do conjunto dos dados, que a integração curricular da forma como se constitui, a começar pela ausência de integração entre as disciplinas que compõem esse currículo, não assinala efeitos significativos na forma de ensinar Matemática.

The research approached issues related to Public Policy and School Practice and its developments in the field of technical professional education of medium level integrated to high school, having as methodology the case study of the Technical Course in Integrated Building, on offer in Campus Santa Rosa, one of the teaching units of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology Farroupilha (IF Farroupilha), of the Rio Grande do Sul state. As a production technique of empirical data, a questionnaire with open and closed questions was applied to students. In this context, strategic space of knowledge production, was studied through of document analysis and the questionnaires, how the integrated curriculum has been developed and what are the meanings that are being built by the young students of the course about the curriculum based on the assumptions of integral formation of the human being. For this analysis, it was considered that the integrated curriculum, to reach the effective overcoming of curricular fragmentation and duality between formation for intellectual work and formation for manual work, needs managers, teachers and students involvement, which are responsible for planning, developing and evaluating the curriculum in the wider sphere of the collectivity, of cooperation and dialogue. The research focuses on the meanings produced by young students about the restructuring of the curriculum of the Technical Course in Integrated Building that occurred between 2011 and 2013, which came into force in 2014, forming the first class in the new curriculum in 2016/2. Researchers like Ciavatta (2005; 2012), Ramos (2005; 2008; 2012), Frigotto (2005; 2012) are the main theoretical framework that supported the restructuring of the curriculum of this course. In addition to these researchers, Arroyo (2013), Dayrell (2003; 2007; 2014), among others, provided the basis for this research. Data production occurred in two stages: 1) in 2015/2 with the young students of the last class of the old curriculum; and 2) in 2016/1 with the first class to graduate in the new curriculum. By comparing the look of young students about the course, it was possible to realize the validity and significant structural change in the curriculum, as well as methodologies applied to minimize the curriculum fragmentation. However, more importantly, the idea was reinforced that to happen actually teaching with the assumptions of the integrated curriculum coming to the integral formation of the human being is necessary to look at the students as social and cultural youth situated historically, immersed in the contemporary time changes that occur constantly. These changes should be perceived in order to that the methodologies and relations in the social context also change. Both the young from the old curriculum as the new curriculum strengthen the appreciation of the humanization of relations in schools institution, making it clear that the greater the proximity between knowledge, teacher, student and working life, the more effective learning and integral formation for young. / A pesquisa abordou questões relacionadas às Políticas Públicas e Práticas Escolares e seus desdobramentos no campo da educação profissional técnica de nível médio integrada ao ensino médio, tendo como metodologia o estudo de caso do Curso Técnico em Edificações Integrado, em oferta no Campus Santa Rosa, uma das unidades de ensino do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia Farroupilha (IF Farroupilha), do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Como técnica de produção dos dados empíricos, um questionário com perguntas abertas e fechadas foi aplicado aos estudantes. Neste contexto, espaço estratégico de produção do conhecimento, foi estudado, através da análise documental e dos questionários, como o currículo integrado vem sendo desenvolvido e quais são as significações que estão sendo construídas pelos jovens estudantes do curso acerca do currículo baseado nos pressupostos de formação integral do ser humano. Para essa análise, considerou-se que o currículo integrado, para chegar à efetiva superação da fragmentação curricular e da dualidade entre a formação para o trabalho intelectual e formação para o trabalho braçal, necessita do envolvimento de gestores, professores e estudantes, os quais são responsáveis por planejar, desenvolver e avaliar o currículo na esfera mais ampla da coletividade, da cooperação e do diálogo. A pesquisa enfoca as significações produzidas pelos jovens estudantes acerca da reestruturação do currículo do Curso Técnico em Edificações Integrado que ocorreu entre 2011 e 2013, que entrou em vigência em 2014, formando a primeira turma no novo currículo em 2016/2. Pesquisadores como Ciavatta (2005; 2012), Ramos (2005; 2008; 2012), Frigotto (2005; 2012) são os principais referenciais teóricos que deram suporte à reestruturação do currículo deste curso. Além desses pesquisadores, Arroyo (2013), Dayrell (2003; 2007; 2014), entre outros, deram base para a realização desta pesquisa. A produção dos dados ocorreu em dois momentos: 1) em 2015/2 com os jovens da última turma formanda do currículo antigo; e 2) em 2016/1 com a primeira turma a formar-se na nova estrutura curricular. Por meio da comparação do olhar dos jovens estudantes sobre o curso, foi possível perceber a validade e significativa mudança estrutural no currículo, como também as metodologias aplicadas para minimizar a fragmentação curricular. Contudo, mais importante que isso, foi reforçada a ideia de que para acontecer de fato um ensino com os pressupostos do currículo integrado chegando à formação integral do ser humano é necessário olhar os estudantes como jovens sociais e culturais situados historicamente, imersos no tempo contemporâneo em que ocorrem mudanças constantemente. Essas mudanças devem ser percebidas para que as metodologias e relações no contexto social também mudem. Tanto os jovens do antigo currículo quanto os do novo currículo reforçam a valorização da humanização das relações na instituição escolar, ficando claro que quanto maior a proximidade entre conhecimento, professor, estudante e mundo do trabalho, mais eficaz é a aprendizagem e a formação integral do jovem.
