Elements of articulation between innovation and technology in professional and technological education

Abstract

Vocational and Technological Education (EFA) is a modality capable of combining professional training with the context to be applied, covering different aspects of education, work, science, technology, and innovation. In this context, a question arises: what elements, perceived by the students of an EFA FIC course, promote the articulation of technologies with innovation? To problematize this issue, the text on stage aims to verify which elements express the aforementioned articulation in the context of EFA. To this end, its materialization took place from the participation of 22 students of the FIC course, using as an instrument a semi-structured questionnaire applied from Google Forms carried out in November 2022. After the construction of the data, they were structured and verified through Content Analysis (Bardin, 2016).  As a result, it was observed the identification of two elements that match the perception of the participants and seek to reverberate their understandings around the experience of the course: the articulation of the content with pedagogical practices and the realization of experiences that simulate the world of work.
