QUALITY MANAGEMENT OF VOCATIONAL-TECHNOLOGICAL APPRENTICESHIPS FROM AN ETHNIC-ENTREPRENEURIAL PERSPECTIVE IN SOUTHERN BAHIA (Atena Editora)

Abstract

This article, a summary of an ongoing dissertation project of bibliographic review, is based on the works of authors who address aspects of Quality Management in Professional Technological Education, its possible (ethnic) entrepreneurial pedagogical practices, with regard to curricular gaps (lack of an effective Ethnic Curriculum developed), ambiguities in mediation (unknown or partial or discontinuous teacher training, in ethnic entrepreneurial teaching and learning) and contradictions in the employability of graduates, without monitoring their career in the regional market. All this results in empowerment and ethnic-racial identification that is disconnected from Brazilian and regional Afro-indigenous culture, with roots in the Ubuntu philosophy (participation, community involvement and respect for ancestry and/or enchantment) and the Sankofa philosophy (Life Projects based on ethnic family experiences and culture). The central objective is to carry out a diagnosis, possible socio-economic educational intervention and prognosis of these elements, with the aim of promoting intra- and extra-community (dis)involvement, initially focused on the *CEEPAMEV Ethnic Entrepreneur, stimulating the self-identification of ethnic entrepreneurial qualities, the overcoming of present and future challenges, mainly based on the philosophies of Ubuntu and Sankofa, integrating these perspectives with the practices of a Quality Ethnic Entrepreneurial Professional Technological Education. It will also seek to interweave the philosophies of Ubuntu and Sankofa, among other ethnic concepts of "Philosophies of Life", in order to possibly overcome the gaps, ambiguities and contradictions that were initially and hypothetically assumed regarding effective Quality Management in Ethnic Entrepreneurial Professional Education, as a means of catalyzing development, innovation and sustainable (dis)involvement, internally and externally to *CEEPAMEV, promoting an ethnically entrepreneurial organizational culture, intrinsically linked to the strengthening of ethnic-racial identity and the promotion of empowerment in and of the teaching community, students and their administrative technicians.
