O trabalho docente na escola em tempo integral no município de João Pessoa/PB

Abstract

This dissertation aims to understand the teaching work in the Full-Time School Project in the city of João Pessoa - PB. This is a qualitative research, whose strategy is the case study in an elementary school. To reach the study objective, semi-structured interviews and observations in the field of research were conducted. This methodology is anchored in the studies of Tardif and Lessard (2014); Tardif (2014); García (2005); Gatti (2008; 2011); Nóvoa (1992; 2014) and includes a policy analysis using the policy cycle (Stephen Ball et al.). This perspective made it possible to visualize the context of the policy formulation and its action in practice. In general, the analysis indicate that the structure of the Full-Time School Project presents many characteristics of the model of the More Education Program. The Project takes place in a school with good infrastructure, different from the reality of most Brazilian public schools, but there are limitations, especially regarding the maintenance of available spaces and resources. Full-time teaching work is carried out by three professional profiles: the teacher, the tutor and the workshopper. The images of the tutor and the workshopper are characterized by precarious work and deprofessionalization of the teaching work, besides the inadequacy of the training of some professionals. The subjects who perform the teaching function in the Project see the full-time school as a "deposit" of children, which fulfills a welfare function. In relation to continuous training, this process is far behind schedule, there is no training network or a continuity of the training process. The teaching staff is very committed to the institution, showing dedication and engagement to the satisfactory development of the children and the work as a whole.
