As práticas pedagógicas profissionalizantes no ensino técnico- profissional público: uma avaliação sobre a satisfação dos formadores do Centro de Formação Profissional de IFPELAC da Província de Inhambane (2021–2024)

Abstract

The educational or training institution, like any other service-providing organization, needs to measure the satisfaction of the academic community, as clients or partners who benefit from the training service. In this process, the institution can obtain guidance to improve the quality of this service, which inevitably has an impact on the performance, motivation, and engagement of the academic community and, consequently, on organizational performance. This study aimed to evaluate the satisfaction of IFPELAC trainers regarding professionalizing pedagogical practices in public vocational technical education. To assess the satisfaction of the trainers, a survey questionnaire was used, through which 16 subjects belonging to the institution's staff were surveyed. In the analysis of the results of the survey questionnaire, descriptive statistics were used, namely means and relative frequencies. The study results showed that the majority of trainers at the IFEPELAC Vocational Training Center in Inhambane are dissatisfied with vocational training practices in the following aspects: a) teaching materials, equipment and accessories; b) institutional support services (security and library); and c) schedule and total duration of vocational training practices. The level of satisfaction was evident in the following areas: a) infrastructure; b) trainee performance; and c) internal regulations for vocational training practices. However, the satisfaction of vocational training trainers is not uniform, as it depends on the conditions that educational or training institutions provide to the academic community.
