Cyberculture has transformed the modes of production, access, and circulation of information, expanding opportunities for interaction and learning, but also favoring the spread of disinformation. In this context, Professional and Technological Education (PTE) plays a strategic role by articulating work, science, technology, and culture, aiming to educate critical and socially engaged subjects. This article analyzes, from the PTE perspective, the perceptions of students from the PROEJA program (Technical Course in Computer Maintenance and Support) and from the undergraduate Technology in Systems Analysis and Development (TADS) course, both at IFG – Campus Formosa, regarding disinformation in cyberculture, highlighting contrasts and pedagogical possibilities. The qualitative research used questionnaires and discussion groups, analyzed through content analysis. Results showed that PROEJA students face greater difficulties due to restricted access to ICTs and lack of systematic checking practices, while TADS students demonstrated greater technical familiarity but without consolidated critical routines. It is concluded that the approximation between PROEJA and TADS can generate mutual gains, reaffirming the social role of PTE and the mission of Federal Institutes to promote inclusion, emancipation, and critical awareness.
