O currículo integrado na realidade de um curso binacional: organização e concepções
This research was developed within the Professional Master's Program in Professional and Technological Education (ProfEPT) at the Jaguari Campus of the Instituto Federal Farroupilha (IFFar). It is inserted in the Research Line Memories and Organization of Professional and Technological Education and in Macro Project 6, Organization of Pedagogical Spaces in Professional and Technological Education (PTE). The general objective of this study was to investigate the implementation of the integrated curriculum in the Binational Technical Course in Internet Informatics, in its integrated modality. This is a qualitative research, designed as a case study, developed through documentary, bibliographic, and field research, using Laurence Bardin's Content Analysis method. The results indicate, through the bibliographic review, a lack of academic studies addressing the implementation and spaces of the integrated curriculum in Binational Courses, since no research directly related to this theme was found. Regarding the implementation of the integrated curriculum in the reality of the Binational Technical Course in Internet Informatics at the Instituto Federal Sul-rio-grandense - Santana do Livramento Campus, the documentary analysis revealed that this approach is presentin the prescribed curriculum through the use of different expressions, although the term "integrated curriculum" itself is not explicitly used. Furthermore, the field research showed that it is implemented in different moments and spaces, according to the data obtained from questionnaires applied to teachers and students. These findings supported the development of an educational product in the format of an e-book, contributing to the transparency and dissemination of knowledge to the academic community and the general public regarding the implementation of the integrated curriculum in the Binational Technical Course in Internet Informatics at the IFSul-Santana do Livramento Campus.
