SUMMARY:

This study aims to analyze the expansion process of the College Education at Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology in Paraiba (IFPB), situating it in the contexto of Brazilian Educational Policy, for this level of education, in the period from 2008 to 2015, investigating the challenges faced by the institution to make this expansion process possible and its social contribution. The theoretical and methodological framework was built from the contributions of historical dialectical materialism by articulating the categoris of tonality, of contradiction and of mediation. Concerning the technical-instrumental procedures, the bibliographic review on the theme was used, the document analysis, the secondary data released by the Ministry of Education (MEC) and by the National Institute for Educational Studies and Research (INEP). (Statistical Synopsis of College Education) and 27 semi-structured interviews with campus teachers and managers in João Pessoa, Sousa, Cajazeiras and Campina Grande. Tabulation and data organization were carried out with the help of the Software Iramuteq. The expository and analytical movement of this research considered the macro contexto of changes in educational policies – in special, the expansion of College Education in Brazil that began in the mid-1990s – and its consequences for a movement of expansion of this level of education according to the new model of the Brazilian State, restructured in 1995, whose neoliberal characteristics resized their performance, giving it a strong regulatory role that impacted the process of College Education. As part of this context and the policies outlined by the Federal Government to expand this level of education, the study on the expansion of College Education was deepened at the Federal Institutes of Education, created in 2008, by the law nº 11,892/2008, which is equivalent to the Federal Universities, as regards the offer of College Education. The expansion analysis mentioned above, specifically at IFPB, which is the subject of this thesis, have made evident that this growth was linked to the expansion and internalization of their campuses throughout the State of Paraiba, and it was historical fator, not only for its expansion in number of campuses, but also for the offering of undergraduate courses, making possible 11,994 students to access to College Education. The expansion of the courses is based on the average of a series of offerings o fone and two anual courses per campus, mostly with courses in the presencial and technology modalities, with a percentage of 57.9%. The expansion and the restructuring were described by the respondentes as extremely important, for the opportunity of the students from the capital and the countryside to access to this level of education, even though these expansion and restructuring have been considered as challenging because of the structural conditions, the staff required in a very short period of time and the challenge of building a new identity as a College Educational Institution. The main highlighted challenges were: the need for physical structure as a recurring fator in 75% of the surveyed campuses, the concern with the inclusion of students with specific needs regarding the contents taught in the classroom, specifically the technical subjects and the need for greater internal provision of pedagogical training for teachers, to meet new and specific student characteristics. Social outreach was highlighted with greater evidence in relation to the admission, understood as a unique opportunity for many students, mainly for those from families with lack of finantial resources. By developing the area of the campuses, the areas surround them were provided with a local and geographic development, becoming a social fact, and, finally, employment and income opportunities were also referenced in many of the interviewees´ statements. Thus, we conclude with the statement of the thesis that the expansion of the College Education in IFPB, although full of challenges, takes a social dimension by providing access, geographic development and qualification for the labor market, factors that contributes to social changes.
