A atuação do pedagógico em espaços extraescolares: saberes e práticas

Abstract

The following article begins by the analysis of the changes occurring in the field of work and its implications towards the work of the pedagogue, assuring this professional an important social role in diverse ways and sources of educational actions that take place in diverse social fields. It analyses as well the matter of the pedagogue's work in non-formal and formal non-conventional institutions focusing on the knowledge used in the pedagogical work, in these places, beginning by a study done in a hospital and in a school of Professional Education which reveals that the pedagogue's knowledge is plural, interdisciplinary and originates in different social areas. It concludes that the knowledge built in Pedagogy courses should favor a broad view of the pedagogical practices, that it must be connected to a critical consciousness towards education and its role in society as well as they should contribute to the pedagogue's development of the necessary knowledge about his or her own knowledge, in other words, about the knowledge of his or her work and profession.
