Assuming there are gaps in the theoretical production of the field of curriculum, especially integrating the fields Science, Technology and Society (CTS) and Labor and Education (T&E), this article questions the possibility of integrating the assumptions of these fields in the curriculum of Vocational and Technological Education (VTE). Aware of the impossibility to fully respond to the inquiry, the text aims to be a starting point for future discussions. First, we analyze the works The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, by Thomas Kuhn, and Silent Spring, by Rachel Carson, published in 1962 - in dialogue with authors discussing CTS in education. Secondly, we analyze contemporary productions about the links between T&E in capitalist society, showing the possibilities of integration between the two fields, linking them to the curriculum of the VTE.
