The importance of vocational and technical education (VTE) is increasing in response to the rapidly changing information, technology, production methods, and developments in every aspect of life. The only way to survive in this age and to compete with this challenge is to continuously develop comprehensive educational policies that relate to each other (MoNE, 2018). In this sense, VTE has a very central role in providing societies with the knowledge and skills that the 21st century requires (Çınar, Döngel, & Söğütlü, 2009). For this reason, in educational policy discussions, an area that requires as much attention as other areas of education is VTE. This paper aims to review the current problematic states of VTE in Turkey and make recommendations for improving it.

<p>Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender e discutir algumas das principais concepções de educação e trabalho que permeiam a formação do trabalhador brasileiro, com base na análise da criação do Programa Nacional de Acesso ao Ensino Técnico e Emprego, o Pronatec, instituído em 2011. O texto apresenta um breve histórico das concepções que envolvem a formação do trabalhador presentes no final da década de 1980 e 1990, no âmbito da elaboração e aprovação da Lei n. 9.394/1996, que se estabelece até a primeira década do século XXI. Com base em análise documental e na legislação do período, dialoga com a produção acadêmica que permeia os campos da educação e trabalho e educação de jovens e adultos, analisando em que medida o Pronatec tende a fortalecer a dualidade estrutural do capitalismo ou a criar espaços emancipatórios, que possibilitem uma educação pautada na integração entre formação profissional e formação básica.</p><p><strong><em>Un análisis de las concepciones que permean la formación profesional de Pronatec</em></strong></p><p><em>Este artículo tiene el objetivo de entender y discutir algunas de las principales concepciones de educación y trabajo que permean la formación del trabajador brasileño, en base al análisis de la creación del Programa Nacional de Acesso ao Ensino Técnico e Emprego, Pronatec, que se instituyó en el 2011.

The article is based on documentary analysis and on the education laws of that period. It interacts with academic work in the fields of education and work, as well as the education of youth and adults. It examines the extent to which Pronatec strengthens the structural duality of capitalism, or creates emancipative spaces which allow education to be based on the integration between professional and basic training.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em> Youth and Adult Education; Work; Educational Policies; Professional Training.</em><strong></strong></p><p><em><br /></em></p>

<p>This research aims to determine the opinions of vocational high school teachers about the Powerful Learning Environment (PLE) approach in vocational and technical secondary education. This study, which was carried out with the qualitative research method, was designed with the phenomenological pattern. The participants of the research consist of 28 teachers. The data were obtained with a semi-structured interview form, and the descriptive analysis method was used in data analysis. According to the results of the research, the obstacles to creating a PLE in vocational and technical education are the theoretical weight of the course programs, work-orientedness in internship workplaces (rejection of the learning process) and outdated vocational field training program modules and workshop equipment. On the other hand, the suggestions for creating a PLE in vocational and technical education are using an on-the-job learning model and increasing the internship period, reducing the theoretical Intensity in the curriculum and emphasizing the practice and increasing teacher orientation, providing program, equipment and workshop materials suitable for technological development, constant communication and interaction between teacher-student-parent-internship employer, the establishment of commercial relations between vocational high schools and establishment of virtual companies in entrepreneurship clubs, meeting with industry representatives to adapt to the changing expectations of the post-pandemic industry and using the advantages of peer learning in vocational skills education.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0845/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
