Governabilidade e governança: as relações e condições de trabalho e suas implicações na carreira do professor

Abstract

This work aimed to analyze the relations and working conditions and the implications on the professional career of elementary school teachers, more specifically, high school in the state public education system of Maranhão. To this end, we use the principles of governability and governance to understand how educational and personnel policies through public administration have developed over a politically troubled decade (2007-2017). In this sense, we refer to this period due to the political and socioeconomic effervescence that broke out at the end of the last decade until two years ago both in the national context and in the Maranhão socio-political conjuncture. It is necessary, for supposition, to consider the labor relations that the federal and state governments, in this case, the state of Maranhão, have established with teachers over time. Given this, we will focus on public policies directed to education, regarding the valuation of teaching, the working conditions and career of the teacher as one of the main agents of the educational process. In this Master thesis, it is intended, taking advantage of the professional experience of the researcher, as official teacher of the referred public educational system during the period approached by the research, to establish the existence, or not, of the influence of power in the conduct of discontinuous policies regarding teaching staff, to train and reform their professional career conditioned to the governability and governance of a given public management. From a qualitative approach, however with the support of quantitative elements, elements were raised for the consolidation of results through bibliographic and documentary research. Given that power is always approached in order to try to understand the influences that political agents, as drivers of public policies, have in defining the policies implemented for the management of teaching work. Thus, it can be understood that the normative-political acts are allocated to the execution of personnel policy, working conditions and teaching career within the situational context of the teaching function. We use the analysis of legal documents and a bibliographic contribution about the work of the public school teacher in Brazil.
