Orientação profissional como prática educativa na escola de ensino médio: análise de uma proposta de intervenção

Abstract

This dissertation is linked to line of research 2: Training and action of teaching professionals and educational practices and to the research group: Construction of subjectivity processes in the school context, of the UNOESTE Postgraduate Program. Based on the historical-cultural and socio-historical approaches to Psychology, it aims to analyze how these perspectives conceive the field of Professional and Career Guidance (OPC) in current scientific literature. Furthermore, we seek to propose and test the viability of an OPC program as an educational practice in a state public high school in the interior of São Paulo. The chosen approaches allow understanding the development of thinking through concepts, the relationship between human beings and work, and enable dialogue with education professionals. The methodology used consisted of: I) Scope review, carried out based on the PRISMA-ScR protocol, to map scientific production on OPC from historical-cultural and socio-historical perspectives; II) Feasibility study, which sought to identify, through predefined categories, the capacity to implement the proposed intervention, serving as a basis for future larger-scale studies. Based on the data collected, an intervention manual was prepared with the aim of facilitating the replication of the proposal in efficacy and effectiveness studies. The proposed OPC program proved viable for implementation in public schools, with the potential to contribute to the process of choice of participants. The need for new research to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the program is highlighted. This work hopes to serve as a basis for future research and practices in the OPC area, contributing to the construction of a proposal in accordance with the autonomy and reality of its participants.
