Trabalho e educação: ambiente, relações de trabalho e saúde dos profissionais (professores) da educação de Altamira

Abstract

This paper aims at identifying the factors implicit in the municipal educational institutions from Altamira that contribute to the emergence and/or worsening of discomfort of teachers. It also analyses how the eaching environment and working relations promote the imbalance of these professionals health. At first, a research was conducted by using bibliographical references as the contributions by Marx (1988), Codo (1993), Iamamoto (2006), Gramsci (1995), Silva (2005), and Tardif (2009). Looking for an answer to this problem (and with organizational purposes) we chose to implement a field research as well, which took place in SEMEC, ALTAPREV, SINTEPP and CAPS. At these institutions, formal documentation for analysis of the problems were acquired, and at three Municipal Elementary Schools teachers answered to some questionnaires. Through the data acquired it was possible to observe that the majority of education professionals in remote and/or after rehab (by the time of this study) are teachers; all teachers who were interviewed reported some type of discomfort related to context, "environment and working relations ". Therefore, we concluded that both the environment and working relations directly interfere in teachers’ health.
