Educação 5.0 na escola técnica : um olhar para os desafios e oportunidades da era digital.

Abstract

This search investigates the challenges and opportunities faced by teachers at a technical school of SENAI in light of the demands of Education 5.0, with an emphasis on continuing education, the use of digital technologies, and the adoption of active methodologies. This qualitative research employed a questionnaire administered to 18 teachers from two school units, aiming to understand their perceptions, pedagogical practices, and strategies in response to contemporary technological and social transformations. Data were analyzed using a descriptive and interpretative approach, based on spreadsheets generated from Google Forms and complemented by word clouds representative of the participants' responses. The results revealed a context marked by tension between the recognition of the importance of pedagogical innovation and the limitations faced in the school routine, such as lack of time, scarcity of resources, and constant curriculum changes. Nevertheless, teachers showed a willingness to adapt their practices, personalize teaching, integrate technologies, and adopt formative and collaborative assessment strategies. Among the observed advancements, the use of constructive feedback, diagnostic assessments, active methodologies, and efforts to contextualize content by connecting theory and practice stand out. The study concludes that, despite structural and institutional challenges, there is a significant movement among teachers toward pedagogical practices more aligned with Education 5.0, based on flexibility, creativity, and a commitment to holistic student development. This research contributes to expanding the debate on teacher education in technical contexts and proposes possible pathways toward a more innovative, inclusive, and future-oriented school.
