Replication Data for: Federal Network of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education: The New Expansion published by Revista de Administração Contemporânea

This teaching case addresses the expansion of Professional and Technological Education through the Federal Network of Education, Science, and Technology across its three phases of growth, and presents the scenario related to the new expansion for the period from 2024 to 2027. Given this context, the Director and his team are called upon to present a new expansion strategy faced with the principal dilemma: What should be the strategy adopted for establishing 100 new units by 2027? The case discusses the dilemmas faced by the team while considering the proposal and the inherent issues in its development aimed at delivering an important service to society: education. Thus, the goal of this case is to enable students to theoretically and practically engage with public policy, through real scenario case analysis, solution proposition, and debate. The aim is to develop critical thinking skills associated with problem-solving, to recognize the importance of evidence-based public policy formulation, to build a solid foundation for negotiation, and to develop the capacity for competent decision-making based on the discussions held, which are inherent to the dynamics of the decision-making process in public policies. The case is designed for undergraduate and graduate students in Public Administration and Public Management, in courses such as Public Policies; State, Government, and Public Policies, among others relevant to the themes of the case.

本教学案例围绕联邦教育、科学与技术网络（Federal Network of Education, Science, and Technology）下的职业技术教育（Professional and Technological Education）扩张进程展开，涵盖其三个增长阶段，并呈现了2024至2027年的新一轮扩张场景。在此背景下，案例设定核心困境：需在2027年前建成100所新院校，主管及其团队需就此提出全新扩张战略。本案例探讨了团队在推进该扩张提案、兼顾其开发过程中固有问题时所面临的各类困境——该提案旨在为社会提供核心公共服务（Public Policy）：教育。因此，本案例的教学目标是让学生通过真实场景案例分析、方案提出与辩论，从理论与实践层面深度参与公共政策议题。其教学目的在于：培养与问题解决相关的批判性思维能力，使学生认识到循证公共政策制定的重要性，为谈判磋商筑牢坚实基础，并基于公共政策决策过程的固有动态讨论，锤炼出胜任的决策能力。本案例适配公共行政与公共管理专业的本科及研究生，适用于《公共政策》《国家、政府与公共政策》等与案例主题相关的课程。
