Educação empreendedora: formação de cidadãos na Educação Profissional e Tecnológica

Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze the possible contributions of entrepreneurial education (EE) in the training of citizens in the scope of Vocational and Technological Education. In order to do so, we carried out a bibliographical research through books and scientific articles at Google Scholar, SciELO and Capes Periodicals Portal based on the following keywords: “entrepreneurial education”, “vocational technological education”, “professional education” and “social entrepreneurship”. The review covered the period from 2000 to 2019. The theoretical framework was based on the studies of Lopes (2010, 2017), Dolabela (2003, 2008), Dornelas (2008) Frigotto and Ciavatta (2006). In a globalized world, it is fundamental to provide the student of vocational and technological education, conditions to meet the demands of society, reconciling economic growth and professional and social development. In this sense, we noticed that entrepreneurship education represents a possibility to enable this student to change the scenario in which he is inserted, through a dynamic, responsible and citizen behavior. The understanding of these contributions could help the expansion of the concept of entrepreneurial education to an education of holistic approach, allowing a greater insertion and applicability of the entrepreneurial education in professional education, enabling the development of the human being in a social environment.
