Escala de avaliação do contexto de trabalho docente: guia.

Abstract

This manual aims to provide clear and concise instructions for the application and interpretation of the Teaching Work Context Assessment Scale (EACTD). The EACTD is an instrument that allows a quick and accurate diagnosis of the work context of basic education teachers (Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Secondary Education, Youth and Adult Education and Specialized Educational Services). The scale can be used by managers, researchers, education professionals and other interested parties. On the following pages you will find information about the concept of work context, how to apply EACTD and how to interpret its results. Therefore, it is expected that this diagnosis will be made consistently and reliably. pg 04 The assessment of the work context proposed here is based on the collection and analysis of data about the perception that teachers have about the environment in which they work. The different items on the scale cover different situations, activities, relationships and conditions that permeate daily school life. In this sense, the data collected can be used to identify factors that affect the well-being and performance of teachers, as well as the quality of education. The results obtained from the application of EACTD will be able to guide managers and state and municipal education departments in the development of interventions that positively impact the quality of education. In this sense, the scale can provide information for decision-making and strategies for the development of policies aimed at improving the working context of teachers, promoting health and quality of life at work, as well as equitable educational practices. The construction of this instrument is carried out by the Laboratory of Practices and Research in Psychology and Education (LAPPSIE) at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) and the Lemann Center for Leadership for Equity in Education
