Abstract

The Coordinating Teacher of Studies and Support for Teaching was created by the Secretary of Education of Ceara in 2016 to assist the teachers of the state public school in different areas of knowledge. This academic actor was, by 2015, known as Area Coordinating Teacher. The present research was developed based on contextualization and analysis of the performance of the subjects that perform this function in three schools of the state public network, located in Fortaleza. The objectives defined for this study are: 1) to analyze the transition process from Area Coordinator to Coordinating Teacher of Studies and Support to Teaching Work at the school; 2) to understand the importance of the work developed by Coordinating Teacher of Studies , especially in the area of Natural Sciences; 3) to propose a plan of action, detailing the attributions of the Coordinating Teacher of Studies to the teachers, establishing an organization chart for these actions, in order to ensure that this professional can execute, in a dedicated and efficient way, his work in the scope of the school, besides training In the area of Natural Sciences, having as theoretical presupposition the Movement Science, Technology and Society. For this purpose, theorists were: Auler and Bazzo (2001), Santos and Mortimer (2001), Teixeira (2003), Miranda and Freitas (2008), Barbosa (2016). We assume that the Coordinating Teacher of Studies must develop a constant dialogue with other teachers in its area, and that there is the institutional and individual commitment to organize the planning, in order to contribute to the in-service training process of its peers and to The improvement of academic performance and teaching itself. As a theoretical basis, we use positions of authors such as Alarcão (2001); Luck (19942009), Perez (2010), Cachapuz (2008), Morin (2002) and Gil (1996). The methodology adopted in this work was the qualitative research, having as main methodological instruments: bibliographical and documentary research, besides the accomplishment of open interviews with three Coordinating Teachers of Studies and Support to Teaching Work; Three principals of the schools in which these Coordinating Teacher of Studies and Support to Teaching Work act; And a technique from the Education Department of the State of Ceará. Our results showed that the organization of time to exercise the Coordinating Teacher of Studies function; The expansion of teacher training in the area of Natural Sciences, considering the Science, Technology and Society Movement; and the monitoring and follow-up of the attributions, which this institutional actor must develop within the schools, will require that the subjects involved seek to carry out actions, through a position that asserts each of the proposed objectives.
