THE BASIC, TECHNICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION TEACHER: INSTITUTIONALITY THAT RESEMBLES A PLATYPUS? STRUGGLE FRONTS IN THE TURNS OF A KALEIDOSCOPEThis article aims to analyze, in the historical context, the implementation of the Federal Institutes (FIs) and the creation of the career of the Basic, Technical and Technological Education Teacher (EBTT), seeking to problematize the teaching work in its complexity. We used an integrative review of the literature on the subject. The results show that the FIs occupy a prominent role in the Brazilian educational system, by offering a proposal of verticalized academic action, anchored in the indivisibility between research and extension, and materialized by the creation of the EBTT career. The latter, in turn, is part of a spectrum that can oscillate between the poles of innovation-precariousness, especially when observed considering the demands of the neoliberal political project. In this sense, we draw readers’ attention to the need for two struggle fronts, which corroborate the strengthening of the EBTT’s professor identity and the desired project in the law of creation of FIs. They are: 1) Consolidation of a political-pedagogical training, based on the structuring foundations and educational principles of the institution; 2) The construction of a “resistance from within”, which unfolds in the critical re-elaboration of public knowledge, through teaching, research and extension actions, as well as, in the imbrication with the agendas of social movements, unions, and scientific, political, artistic and cultural organizations.
