This paper proposes a science and technology education program to teach junior high school students to measure terrain changes by using interferometric synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The objectives of the proposed program are to evaluate and use information technology by performing SAR data processing in order to measure ground deformation, and to incorporate an understanding of Earth sciences by analyzing interferometric SAR processing results. To draft the teaching guidance plan for the developed education program, this study considers both science and technology education. The education program was used in a Japanese junior high school. An educational SAR processor developed by the authors and the customized Delft object-oriented radar interferometric software package were employed. Earthquakes as diastrophism events were chosen as practical teaching materials. The selected events indicate clear ground deformation in differential interferograms with high coherence levels. The learners were able to investigate the ground deformations and disasters caused by the events. They interactively used computers and became skilled at recognizing the knowledge and techniques of information technology, and then they evaluated the technology. Based on the results of pre- and post-questionnaire surveys and self-evaluation by the learners, it was clarified that the proposed program was applicable for junior high school education, and the learners recognized the usefulness of Earth observation technology by using interferometric SAR. The usefulness of the teaching materials in the learning activities was also shown through the practical teaching experience.

RESUMO Este artigo tem como objetivo abordar a superação do ensino tecnicista em uma perspectiva de formação humana integral na Educação Profissional e Tecnológica, por meio de pesquisa de revisão bibliográfica, na qual se analisa o tecnicismo e sua influência na educação atual. A concepção da formação humana integrada e seus principais objetivos apresenta ações para uma proposta de superação do tecnicismo, ainda vigente em nossa educação. Abordar-se-á ainda o desafio da proposta do ensino médio integral. A pesquisa constata que é necessária a superação de um modelo educacional tecnicista, para uma forma de educação ampla, visando uma sociedade mais justa e igualitária, buscando desenvolver o potencial do indivíduo, como cidadão e como trabalhador, na formação de um sujeito que saiba ser crítico e reflexivo com relação às etapas e fundamentos do processo produtivo atual. Palavras-chave: Formação Humana. Tecnicismo. Educação profissional e tecnológica. ABSTRACT The objective of the following paper is to overlook how to overcome the excessive use of technology in a comprehensive human training perspective within the technical and technological education through a bibliographical review research, which analyzes the excessive use of technology and its influence in current education. The concept of comprehensive human training and its main goals propose overcoming the excessive use of technology still present in Brazilian education. It also overlooks the challenge of fulltime high school proposal. The study shows that it is necessary to replace the excessive use of technology education model for a broader one, aiming a fairer and more equalitarian society. Such society would seek to develop people’s potential, as citizens and workers, in order to form a person who is critic and reflexive when it comes to the stages and foundation of the current productive process.   Keywords: Human Formation. Excessive use of technology. Technological and Professional Education.   RESUMÉN Este artículo tiene como objetivo abordar la superación de la enseñanza tecnicista en una perspectiva de formación humana integral en la Educación Profesional y Tecnológica, por medio de investigación de revisión bibliográfica, en la que se analiza el tecnicismo y su influencia en la educación actual; la concepción de la formación humana integrada y sus principales objetivos y se presenta acciones para una propuesta de superación del tecnicismo, aún vigente en nuestra educación.

This paper summarized the present situation and problems of technology education in Japan, particularly focused on technology education in general education. It was shown that technology education was carried out for a variety of purposes depending on grade and age. On the other hand, it was shown that technology education as general education is limited to the "Technology" of junior high school "Technology & Home Economics". The study of "Technology" in junior high school covered the basic elements of engineering. In addition, "Technology" was placed on the roles of character formation as well as academic achievement. This paper also discussed the problems related to technology education in general education in Japan in light of international comparisons and the present situation. It was shown that the amount of time dedicated to technology education in Japan was extremely small by international standards.

The strategic objective of modern technological education is to prepare children for life in a high-tech competitive world. The implementation of this task encounters the problems of material and technical equipment of educational institutions and their staffing. An integrated approach based on the pooling of all resources and efforts of interested parties is needed to organize a technological education modern system. Training programs for teachers should take into account their interdisciplinary nature, and include the psychological, pedagogical, and natural-science components, so as technical aspects. The important segment of technology education is training of technical specialists without pedagogical background to work at schools and universities, as well as training of school teachers and university lectures based on the modern technological order. In this regard, a new look at the IGIP programs is possible, these program goals and objectives interpretation should be applied to the teacher training within the system of high-school technological education.The article considers the approaches to solving the problems of high-school technological education system staffing, presents the comparative analysis of the current educational programs. The experience in training technical university teachers, masters of industrial instruction, technology teachers should be adjusted in accordance with the global changes in science, technique and technology.
