A formação e o trabalho docente na escola de tempo integral

Abstract

The present thesis of Doctorate in Education focused on the understanding of the relationship between training and the work of teachers who work in full time education schools. The study presents as theoretical-methodological perspective the philosophical principles of Critical Realism developed by Roy Bhaskar. Thus, it aims to understand the generative mechanisms that structure the possible meanings of work and teacher training attributed by teachers who work in full-time schools linked to the municipal education network. In order to subsidize the study, a bibliographical survey was carried out on the topic of training and teaching work in full-time schools. Authors such as Bernardete Gatti, António Nóvoa, Francisco Imbernón, Carlos Estevão, Ana Maria Cavaliere, Lígia Marta Coelho, among others, were used as theoretical reference. For the accomplishment of the research, were selected ex-students and non-graduates of two formations held in the city of Juiz de Fora that work in three full-time schools. As research instruments, the questionnaire and semi-structured interview were used. The study reinforced the thesis that continuing education exerts a positive influence on the meanings attributed by teachers to their work. It was possible to observe this relation in two moments of the research: in the analysis of the degree of importance that the teachers who participated in continuous formation attributed to the integral time and in the notes of the teachers in which the pedagogical elements predominated like strategies of overcoming the challenges found in the teaching work in full-time school. Regarding the degree of importance, it was observed that the majority of teachers who participated in continuing education on full time tended to attribute more importance to the phenomenon studied. Regarding the aspects used to overcome the challenges, it was observed that most teachers use the pedagogical elements such as collective work, project development, differentiated pedagogical practices and exchange of experiences as a reference. The emphasis on pedagogical elements to overcome the challenges demonstrates an appreciation of the work and knowledge of the teacher, reinforcing the importance of teaching in the school dynamics.
