Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study analyzes the quality of in-person instruction in the subsequent technical courses at the Federal Institute of Maranhão (IFMA) – Carolina Campus, from the students' perspective. The objective was to identify factors that influence learning, students' integral development, and the effectiveness of the theory-practice relationship. The mixed-methods research utilized a structured questionnaire applied to 55 respondents, with analytical axes based on the principles of Omnilaterality, Polytechny, and Integrality. The results indicate that the campus's main differentials lie in the pedagogical commitment and the humanized relationship of the teaching staff. However, significant weaknesses, such as the lack of physical infrastructure and the need to expand practical activities and technical visits, were pointed out as central challenges. It is concluded that IFMA – Carolina has established itself as a space for training critical professionals, whose quality is largely sustained by its human resources, requiring, however, structural investments to guarantee the full realization of its pedagogical principles.
