Os direitos humanos batem à sua porta: a formação educacional dos guardas municipais de João Pessoa

Abstract

Pedagogy as an area of activity has collaborated with the process of training children, youth and adults, acting in the management, supervision, planning and in the classroom. This work aims to give visibility to a wide range of opportunities beyond school, because we understand that pedagogical action is active in all moments of our life. Our study brings as object the Municipal Guard of João Pessoa, focusing on the process of building knowledge from formal education and experiences faced throughout the guards’ performance. In order to elucidate this problem we use a bibliographical and documentary research related to the themes on human rights and the role of the Municipal Guard, using articles, magazines, books, booklets and legal documents. We used a participatory research, with quantitative and qualitative approaches, in which we used questionnaires, recorded interviews and the observation of the training courses offered to the guards in the year 2018. In this process the guards could be identified, expressing their knowledge and reporting historical facts about the Guard that had not been recorded. We added future perspectives to resume these studies for the construction of pedagogical projects aimed at the municipal security agents.
