Artesãs profissionais: relações entre os saberes da cultura artesanal e os saberes tecnológicos nas histórias de vida de egressas do Curso Técnico de Artesanato / PROEJA do Instituto Federal de Ciências e Tecnologia de Alagoas IFAL

Abstract

The current research analyses the training impacts of the Curso Técnico de Artesanato - Programa Nacional de Integração da Educação Profissional com a Educação Básica na Modalidade de Educação de Jovens e Adultos / PROEJA attendees in the handicraft labour market after a technical training program, which was realized in the period of 2008-2010, in the Instituto Federal de Ciências e Tecnologia de Alagoas IFAL. Through the histories of craftswomen lives it was possible to understand the impacts of the formation process in this course, their experiences and social expectations in the handicraft production made viable through curricular practices to the education of young people and adults who recognize and value handicraft culture, the creation and handicraft production in the professional education of craftswomen. By investigating the handicraft marketplace after training, it was possible, with the craftswomen life stories in hand, to investigate how personal growth developed through their professional perception as craftswoman, their place in the family and their community. The problem with the thesis is the lack of knowledge in how the attendee craftswomen and the IFAL handicraft technical course docents realize the recognition, the valuation and social visibility of handicraft work from the formation offered in the course. The methodological option is qualitative with narrative research and life history approach. It has as references the theories Nóvoa (2010), Josso (2004), Ferrarotti (2010), Clandinin (2011). These authors bring a direct relation bias with the identity of the subjects in this research, considering that the biographical method allows to be granted a great respect for the adult training process, by rescuing not only their personal, professional and social lives context but their training trajectory allied to cultural, political and ethical values. The results of this study can contribute to: enrich culture, social and economical values which creates jobs to the women in Alagoas, value the IFAL recognition as training spot for craftsmen and craftswomen, and bring new references to the theory and curricular practices in the relation between curriculum, knowledge and cultures
