Capacitação tecnológica de militares do corpo de praças da armada para a marinha do século XXI: uma proposta de educação profissional

Abstract

In this dissertation the professional training of the Corpo de Praças da Armada was studied, addressing the interdependence relationship between military technology, naval strategy and the preparation of seamen, starting from historical, military and educational references pertinent to the theme. The analysis was based on an investigation about professional education in the Brazilian Navy, addressing its historical, organizational and normative aspects, in order to verify if the technical and professional education currently adopted in the training of soldiers of the Corpo de Praças da Armada is sufficient to meet the demands arising from the use of new military technologies due to the modernization of naval assets, including those promoted by Plan of Articulation and Equipment of the Brazilian Navy. It was verified that the technical-professional education currently adopted in the training of military of the Corpo de Praças da Armada, restricted to the average level of education, is not enough to meet the demands provoked by the use of new military technologies, since these require a base of scientific and technological knowledge available only in higher education, through graduation in higher technology courses. In order to better prepare the sailors of the 21st century, it is suggested that Brazilian Navy insert professional undergraduate technological education in the Naval Education System
