When investigating the curricular interaction between secondary and technician educations of the integrated form of the course of Mechanics of CEFET-PA has as estimated that to adopt the integrated form legislated by the Decree 5.154/2004 presents potentiality, but not guarantee, of the development of Integrated Education. It develops the concept of integrated and/or integral education when identifying it in some periods of the Brazilian education as flag of distinct formations and with curricular elements presenting disparity. It opts to the integrated term to characterize education and formation that search to surpass the dichotomy manual/intellectual work by the principle of work, science and culture based by the praxis. It briefly deals with the duality of the history of the education agenda, the distinction and approach between integrated form and Integrated Education, by means of the deepening of the origins and meanings of the terms integration, articulation and completeness, to demonstrate the differences between these used words as synonymous, to define the relation between secondary and technician education, that truly, defend different projects of formation. It emphasizes the necessity of intelligibility in the education labeled as professional integrated, lingering in the construction of the Law of Direction Lines and Bases of Education and its regulations for the professional education, especially in the conditions of legitimating the integrated form. It identifies in the legislation, in the orienting texts and in the Base Document of Secondary Professional Education integrated to the Secondary Education, the curricular orientations for the integrated form, in the perspective of Integrated Education. It detaches from these orientations: the educative principle of work, science and the culture, unfolded in work of research, technology and art, the participation of education actors in the elaboration of directions and the coherence with the project of pedagogical agenda in the school. These prominences subsidize the research in documents and interviews with managers, pedagogues and teachers of secondary and technician education in Mechanics in integrated form in the school. The course of Mechanics, whose implantation occurred under the Law 5.692/1971, later reformulated in the Reformation of the Professional Education in 1997, elaborated its initial project of the integrated form, therefore, it presented the best conditions for the research. The research evidences in the reception, decisions of offers, matrix and program of classes, pedagogical planning, the subsidies elaborated in the course and integrated plan of Mechanics, that this course was structuralized by the vision of the integrated form, as return of the professionalizing education of the Law 5.692/1971. This impression had penchant the integrated course of Mechanics to the pragmatism and separated professional education and secondary education, when giving more importance to technician classes and to use some classes of secondary education as prerequisite for technician formation, while others classes had been isolated. Such situation happened due to little legal and theoretical references in this field, unfamiliarity between areas, little participation of the community, and isolated and formalist planning of teachers, all deriving from difficulties of pedagogical and administrative planning in a fragmented institution. Therefore, the integrated course of Mechanics, based on a dual and pragmatist project form workers without the development and involvement of Integrated Education.
