No. of bitstreams: 1 2009 - Jaime Cavalcante Alves.pdf: 1300262 bytes, checksum: f50def6e88e8036b43d0155c84eb7ac1 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-06-08 / The Agricultural Education aims to form professionals that may be able to act both in the productive chains of the agricultural section and in the organization of the social movements of the field, contributing directly for the improvement or not of the quality of life of the resident populations in the rural section. In this context, based on the growing outside and inside pressures on behalf of the preservation of the Amazon forest and for the need of public actions aiming to stimulate the family agriculture in the state of Amazonas, the institutions of agricultural teaching are challenged to propose pedagogical actions that aim the professionals' formation committed with the sustainable development of Amazon and with a form of less aggressive agriculture towards the environment and with low social exclusion. The complex relationship of the tripod man-nature-economy motivated to research, on the grounds of the Escola Agrot?cnica Federal de Manaus, how the curriculum of the Technical course of Agriculture is structured, verifying if it matches with the reality of the traditional populations of Amazon, making it possible that qualified professionals' formation is assisting family agriculture in a sustainable perspective having agroecology as a scientific basis. It is believed that, to reach this goal, it is necessary to break with the type of agriculture based on the grounds of the green revolution which is characterized as excluding in the social and aggressive point of view to the environment, and moves towards a sustainable agriculture with agroecological grounds where the human being and the environment has the same importance as that of economical aspects. We believe that economical, social and environmental sustainability directs into pedagogical actions of the technical course in agriculture's curriculum of the Escola Federal Agrot?cnica de Manaus. The curriculum's conception, education x work's relationship, the family agriculture a nd the agroecology are theory referential that will support this research. In such perspective, the research was developed with the participation of teachers, students, former students, Escola Agrot?cnica Federal de Manaus' managers and public and private institutions' managers who are connected to primary section that keep in touch with former students of this school. For a deep analysis, official documents from MEC and from the school, semi-structured interviews and questionnaires with half-open subjects were used as tools of collecting data. Such was done to check closely on the social actors, to find out if the course is assisting the needs of the small rural producers of Amazonas and if the graduated professionals are leaving school with a profile that will assist an agriculture of agroecological basis. Some analysis and contributions are given in the end of the research / A Educa??o Agr?cola tem por objetivo formar profissionais que poder?o atuar tanto nas cadeias produtivas do setor agropecu?rio como tamb?m na organiza??o dos movimentos sociais do campo, contribuindo diretamente para a melhoria ou n?o da qualidade de vida das popula??es residentes no setor rural. Neste contexto frente as crescentes press?es externas e internas em prol da preserva??o da Amaz?nia e pela necessidade de a??es p?blicas voltadas para estimular e a agricultura familiar no estado do Amazonas, as institui??es de ensino agr?cola s?o desafiadas a propor a??es pedag?gicas que visem ? forma??o de profissionais comprometidos com o desenvolvimento sustent?vel da Amaz?nia e com uma forma de agricultura menos agressiva ao meio ambiente e com baixa exclus?o social. A complexa rela??o do trip? homem-natureza-economia motivou pesquisar, no ?mbito da Escola Agrot?cnica Federal de Manaus, como est? estruturado o curr?culo do curso T?cnico em Agropecu?ria, verificando se o mesmo est? adequado ? realidade das popula??es tradicionais da Amaz?nia possibilitando a forma??o de profissionais qualificados para atender a agricultura familiar numa perspectiva sustent?vel e tendo a agroecologia como princ?pio cient?fico. Acredita-se que para alcan?ar tal objetivo faz-se necess?rio o rompimento com a agricultura baseada nos princ?pios da revolu??o verde que se caracteriza como excludente no ponto de vista social e agressiva ao meio ambiente, e parti para uma agricultura sustent?vel com bases agroecol?gicas onde o ser humano e o ambiente tem a mesma import?ncia que os aspectos econ?micos. Acreditamos que a sustentabilidade econ?mica, social e ambiental, s?o princ?pios norteadores das a??es pedag?gicas do curr?culo do curso t?cnico em agropecu?ria da Escola Agrot?cnica Federal de Manaus. A concep??o de curr?culo, rela??o educa??o e trabalho, a agricultura familiar e a agroecologia constituem-se em referencial te?rico que sustentou esta pesquisa. Nesta perspectiva, a pesquisa foi desenvolvida com a participa??o dos professores, estudantes, egressos e gestores da Escola Agrot?cnica Federal de Manaus, bem como gestores de institui??es p?blicas e privadas ligadas ao setor prim?rio que trabalham com egressos da escola. Como instrumentos de coleta de dados foram utilizados uma profunda an?lise de documentos oficiais do MEC e da pr?pria escola, entrevistas semiestruturadas e question?rios com quest?es semi-abertas, objetivando a verifica??o junto aos atores sociais da pesquisa, se o curso est? formando profissionais que estejam atendendo as necessidades dos pequenos produtores rurais do Amazonas e se o perfil profissional de conclus?o est? voltado para atender uma agricultura de bases agroecol?gicas. Ao final da pesquisa verificou-se que a escola est? buscando sua identidade e que a agroecologia e a agricultura familiar s?o elementos que norteam o discurso de alguns professores, por?m ainda n?o est? institucionalizada na escola como um todo
