Professional and Technological Education (EPT) is a relevant educational modality,
foreshadowed in the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education (LDB) to promote
training in the exercise of professions, help citizens to conquer their place in society, be it white
or indigenous, as well as contributing to their insertion in the world of work. Thus, this research
aims to investigate the trajectory of Professional and Technological Education in the
municipality of São Gabriel da Cachoeira, based on the reports of subjects who experienced
this process. The investigation was based on a qualitative research with a narrative approach.
We used the narratives as a methodological strategy in understanding the phenomenon based
on the experience lived by people in their daily lives. For this purpose, the narrative interview
and the documentary survey are part of the data construction techniques, which were analyzed
based on the Thematic Analysis. The weaving of this trajectory is told in an e-book, being
aligned with this dissertation to cover the historicity of Professional and Technological
Education (EPT) in the municipality of São Gabriel da Cachoeira/AM. As a result, we observed
that the benefits resulting from the investigation brought return not only to the educational body,
in the recognition of history, but also to civil society that benefits from this modality of
education, which represents a potent contribution to improving the lives of our participants in
the research, both for employees and their children, reverberating change in their thinking and
acting, because today they are educators who believe that only through education can we
generate the necessary transformation to improve society in São Gabriel da Cachoeira. We leave
our research object open so that other paths can be explored, as we bear in mind that no
investigation is finished and finished. Finally, by emphasizing the importance of studying this
path of the EPT, intertwining history with what was experienced, we want to value and
recognize the narratives as integral elements of the social and cultural aspects in the
construction of the EPT in São Gabriel da Cachoeira, thus being able to transmit them. them to
the generations to come.
