Abstract

This research investigated the teaching of History at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Bahia (IFBA), Campus Salvador, with work as an educational principle. The problem with this investigation was to seek the students' understanding of the work category, in Integrated High School, having as references the Omnilateral Education, the Gramsci unit school and work as an educational principle. Possessing as a justification that the training of students should not be restricted to attend the interests of capital and the labor market, but, form an integral human being. The research had as general objective to elaborate an educational product, in the form of pedagogical workshops, that allows the History teacher to work its contents with a view to promoting the autonomy and / or criticality of the students, without losing sight of the educational character of the work. The following specific objectives were highlighted: to expose the students' understanding of the category of work and the teaching of History, in the Chemistry and Buildings courses, at the IFBA, and the application of two workshops, for the students of these courses, in order to serve as basis for the elaboration of the educational product. A qualitative research with a descriptive approach and bibliographic background was carried out, through the application of questionnaires, and two workshops for students. In analyzing the results of the questionnaires, it was found that: the absolute majority of those surveyed value History; that his studies of the discipline developed his historical awareness; however, their view of work lacked an educational perspective. The workshops held, on the other hand, demonstrated that they were able to mobilize students towards the construction of knowledge, offering subsidies for the educational product because, using the dialectical method, they started from syncretic knowledge, from the object of study, to the synthetic in dynamics that involved act, feel, reflect; simultaneously. As limitations of the research we have: the reduced sample universe; the same occurred with the number of courses in which the students were consulted, where the applications of the workshops took place, and the fact that the work was concentrated on one Campus, the one in Salvador, even though the IFBA was a multicampi Institute.
