This research project aims to carry out a case study based on the previous categories of omnilaterality and polytechnics, post-provisional measure nº 746/2016 and its reflections on the curricular reform of the Integrated Technical Courses of IFTO. Based on the problem: how the curricular reforms in the integrated technical courses of the Federal Institute of Tocantins (IFTO) have been implemented in the prescribed curriculum, considering the perspectives of omnilaterality and polytechnics, after the enactment of Provisional Measure nº 746/2016. The general objective is to understand how curricular reforms in the integrated technical courses of the Federal Institute of Tocantins (IFTO) have been implemented in the prescribed curriculum, considering the perspectives of omnilaterality and polytechnics, after the enactment of Provisional Measure No. 746/2016. We outline the specific objectives, which are: to investigate, through the category of historicity, the continuities and discontinuities of the Integrated Curricula in Professional Education, starting from the national context to the local one; to identify the curricular structure/architecture of the IFTO proposed for the Integrated Technical Courses; and; to understand the possible relationships between epistemology/curricular theory and its interfaces with the categories Omnilaterality and Polytechnics based on the official curricular documents of the IFTO (Curricular Guidelines, PPCs and others). Based on the conjunction of theoretical bases that analyze the integrated curriculum and technological professional education, the High School Reform and its Impacts on Secondary Level Technical Professional Education are discussed. The methodology will be woven through the categories established by Dialectical Historical Materialism and with a qualitative approach using the case study and having as procedures: systematic/bibliographical review, state of the art, and documentary analysis. The central premise of the thesis is based on the idea that the categories in which the concepts of omnilaterality and polytechnics, although mentioned in the prescribed curriculum of IFTO, suffered and suffer interference from the reform of high school education since 2016, further ratifying the duality historically present in Brazilian Education, neglecting students what would in fact promote an emancipatory education. The axes of the research are: I - Professional Education (History), II - The curricula and contexts of/in IFTO and III - The categories Omnilaterality and Polytechnics based on the official curricular documents of IFTO.
