The technical object, integrator of labor culture

Abstract

The realization of the pedagogical principle of linking study with work is an aspiration of the Cuban educational system in Education for Work. It responds to the need to integrate the contents of the subjects of the curriculum and the socio-labour context for comprehensive education, in accordance with the current model of basic secondary education, through the articulation of contents, based on the historical-cultural conception of the formative process and on the pedagogical model for the formation of the labour culture that is concretized in the process of analysis, design and construction of technical objects. Essential aspects of the technical object, the relationships between the contents of the subjects, the socio-labour context, technical objects and work activities as categories of the pedagogical model. The features of the technical objects are presented as cultural content, which allow to determine their differences and similarities with other objects and are expressed in the dialectic interrelation of these objects with the others, starting from considering the increasing complexity in the assimilation of contents by adolescents.
