Abstract: This work shows an analysis, based on the concepts of Scientific Literacy (SL), of the Pedagogical Project of the Subsequent Technical Course in Agriculture offered by the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Ceará (IFCE) campus Crateús. The SL perspective considered in this article is based on science teaching made to build benefits for people, society and the environment. This work also presents a historical overview of the relationship between education, work and citizenship, discussing the various concepts used for SL and its role in the formation of a critical and reflective citizen, as well as the democratization of educational practices concerning scientific, technological and social perspectives. The research was developed in a qualitative and descriptive approach, from which, through a bibliographic and documentary research, it was investigated how the concepts of SL are present in the Pedagogical Project of the Technical Course in Agriculture. The collected and analyzed data allow us to identify some elements which approach the course to a SL bias. However, there were some gaps, such as the absence in the curriculum matrix of disciplines with a citizen education approach. The study indicates the need for a curricular reformulation of the analyzed curriculum based on the concepts of SL, as well as the importance of continuing education for teachers involved in technical education, in order to provide graduates not only with aptitude for the practice of their professional skills, but understanding education as a process of emancipation and social transformation.
