A importância do conhecimento geotecnológico no curso técnico em recursos pesqueiros do IFRN

Abstract

The globalized world has been watching a great period of technological development and expansion that increases its number of users each minute. We live in a continuous phase of knowledge update facing the changes and evolutions of the most different types of technology. Among those, we emphasize the geotechnologies as leading figures of our study. The growing geotechnological interest in Brazil has been emerging significantly in the last years, and the most diverse areas of knowledge have been profiting from the benefits generated from the use of this technology that is more and more constant in our daily life. This work aims to propose a curricular review of the Fishery Resources Technician Course from the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN) in order to provide the acquisition of a new curricular component that deals with geotechnological tools applied to the Fishery Resources area of work. Our methodology consisted of a bibliographical research, and the use of a questionnaire directed to the teaching staff from the given institution with questions on the importance of teaching geoprocessing in the Fishery Resources course. As regards the results achieved, we confirm the importance of a curricular review in the technical course in question, anticipating the creation of this new curricular component for the sake of promoting a differential in the academic and professional live of future Fishery Resources technicians. As a result, the studied institution would thus maintain its tradition of training well-recognized professionals for the ever-competitive job market.
