Trajetórias de estudantes cotistas em institutos federais: uma análise do percurso escolar de estudantes ingressantes por cotas étnico-raciais no IFMS

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze and understand the school trajectory of vocational high school students who entered through ethnic-racial quotas, affirmative actions, at the IFMS, Campus Dourados, specifically in the years 2016, 2017 and 2018. The qualitative research method was applied, using questionnaires for semi-structured interviews. To this end, six black, brown and indigenous students were selected to analyze their school trajectory at a federal institution. In order to better understand these trajectories, historical data was collected on the Federal Institutes, the IFMS and the Dourados Campus, as well as the struggle to achieve and guarantee quotas as a way of entering higher and secondary vocational education. In this sense, we sought support from sociological research to better understand the educational field and its conflicts. Finally, through this research it was possible to identify the various challenges that this category, black, brown and indigenous students, experienced during their time in basic education, especially in secondary vocational education, such as issues related to socio economic factors, precarious training in basic education, racism, among others.
