A formação da mão-de-obra para a indústria química: uma retrospectiva históricaThis paper presents a brief review of the socio-historical evolution of the chemical technician and his/her productive praxis, as well as his/her High-School level technical education as situated in the social and political environment in the realm of science and technology. Such an individual is seen as the subject of transforming action, so the approach taken here is not restricted to an immediatic ideology of professional training, but rather attempts to eliminate that reproductive perspective which considers social relations as gears in the capitalist system.
