SUMMARY:

This dissertation deals with the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology, created in 2008, legally identified as Brazilian institutions of higher, basic and vocational education. Although the exposed educational triad has been instituted apparently without hierarchy, vocational education has historically been the structuring axis of those institutions. Otherwise, Federal Institutes were the organization which most increased their number of enrollments at the higher education undergraduate degrees between 2008 and 2018 (348.6%), diversifying themselves and the federal system itself. The mentioned diversification of higher education has been assessed, on the one hand, as negative, on the grounds that it meets the demands of capital and the dominant class for a higher education more restricted to teaching linked to market interests. On the other hand, before starting this research, there was evidence that Federal Institutes could be the locus of a positive diversification in the expansion of higher education, since the new institutions incorporate in their legislation the dimensions of teaching, research and extension and the horizon of polytechnic education. In order to intellectually reproduce this real movement more precisely, the conceptions of work and education of Federal Institutes have been analyzed in the context of the diversification of higher education and in the face of class struggles in Brazil. Therefore, a qualitative research was structured, guided by Marxist and Marxian Theoretical and Methodologic Approach, procedurally implemented through documentary and bibliographic research and the content analysis technique. Along this path, the main conceptions and relations between work, education and class struggles were debated through the historical process of diversification of Brazilian higher education, focusing on the strategy of diversifying it through vocational education. Federal Institutes were also characterized as institutional and academic (re)organization of higher and professional education in the perspective of social quality, as well as the conceptions of work and education present in their 38 current political-pedagogical projects were identified and categorized. From the 1990s onwards, but mainly after the implementation of Institutes, the presence of broader, progressive and, at times, counterhegemonic conceptions of work and education was observed. Among other elements, conceptions and praxis were identified pointing to the integral, integrated, polytechnic and omnilateral education of the working class, based on principles such as democratic management and the inseparability of teaching, research and extension. The revealed reality places the Institutes in the direction of social quality, among persistent, but not absolute, contradictions and subordination to capital. The referred process coincides with the expansion of the union organization of workers from vocational and higher education and their more intense insertion in class struggles. Four institutional trends were unveiled, in which both the defense of collective social change beyond capital and the maintenance of the system prevail and project Institutes as a positive and contradictory diversification in the expansion of higher education. It is expected that this study will contribute to future research on the Institutes' educational conceptions and praxis and their resignification toward collective engagement in favor of a universal, public and free education, provided with social quality and anchored in the polytechnic and omnilaterality notions. At the same time, it is expected it will point the emergence of a new sociability, without classes, in which work will be established through the free association of universally emancipated individuals.
