Condições de trabalho de docentes na hora-atividade

tensões e vigilância da rede de ensino

Abstract

This article is part of a master's research entitled: "Activity time for teachers of the Early Years: contributions to continuing education". The central question is: in what way can the working hour, as a nationally acquired right since 2008, enhance teachers' continuing education and contribute to the teaching-learning processes? The goal was to find out what teachers do during the working hour, as well as their training needs. Fifteen teachers from the initial years of elementary school from the Municipal Network of Education and Culture of the city of Antônio Carlos, Santa Catarina, participated in the research. The study is based on a qualitative approach, using the content analysis technique. The results show that the working hour becomes another moment to overload the teachers with routine and bureaucratic activities demanded by the school management and the Municipal Department of Education. In this Network, there is an organization of distinct times, which does not allow the teachers to meet formally to talk with the group, nor does it allow them a continuous in-service training, in other training spaces other than the school. It was also found that the teachers in the researched network are not unionized, corroborating the dismantling of labor rights, conquered by the working class of teachers.
