The objective of the work is to propose a critical reflection of the concept of technology articulated by a didactic sequence, aiming to relate the nature of technological choices and their consequences for the environment and for the collective well-being in contemporary societies. The theoretical framework establishes a dialogue between reflections on Professional and Technological Education, Integrated High School and the contents presented by the Critical Philosophy of Technology, seeking to clarify the existing relationships between Education, Work, Capital and Technology. The research follows a qualitative approach with a socially critical perspective, since its intention is not only to improve the curriculum, but also to promote the construction of a more just and democratic world based on stimulating political participation in technological choices. At the end of the work, it is concluded that critical philosophy can provide a more humane, critical, autonomous and liberating education.Acesso AbertoEducação profissionalEnsino básicoDissertaçãoCIENCIAS HUMANAS
