Socio-environmental issues in the proposed curriculum for a technicalagricultural school: a critical analysis of the technical dimension in the training of future professionals

Abstract

In this paper we seek to explore possible meanings and senses related socioenvironmental issues mobilized in response to the proposed curriculum in a technical-agricultural school. In this article, in particular, we have chosen to explore the statements that make references to the relationship between socio-environmental topics, the educational process, and issues related to techniques applied to agricultural practices. This is a qualitative study, grounded on documentary analysis. The analysis allowed us to show a certain tendency to encourage the use of techniques regarding the processes of mechanization and modernization of agriculture, related to the increase in agricultural productivity. There are also signs of a shift in accountability for environmental issues, as the emphasis is placed on techniques as solutions to environmental problems.
