Caminhos da memória, trilhas do futuro: uma proposta de memorial virtual como espaço de uma ressignificação histórica e pertencimento para o IFBA/campus Simôes Filho

Abstract

This dissertation was developed within the scope of the Professional Master’s Program in Vocational and Technological Education (ProfEPT) as a requirement for obtaining a Master's degree. The research problem is grounded in the following question: how can a memorial promote the values of IFBA/Simões Filho Campus and provide learning opportunities within the context of Vocational and Technological Education (VTE)? The objective of this study is to investigate the trajectory of IFBA/Simões Filho Campus, fostering identity bonds, a sense of belonging, and opportunities for historical, social, and political learning within a context of integral education. The methodological approach adopted included bibliographic research combined with document analysis, supplemented by empirical field research aimed at data collection through semistructured interviews. Data analysis and interpretation were conducted based on the Content Analysis technique. Regarding procedures, a qualitative approach was adopted, in which the natural environment serves as a direct source of data, allowing for an in-depth understanding of the investigated phenomena in their own context. The locus of this investigation was IFBA/Simões Filho Campus, with participants including faculty members, Administrative Technicians in Education (TAEs), outsourced staff, and students who have been part of this institutional journey. The educational product resulting from the research consisted of the creation of a memorial in a virtual platform format, intended to present the institutional trajectory, with an emphasis on valuing its history and memories.
