Qualidade na ou da docência como trabalho? Uma trajetória transdisciplinar

Abstract

Traditionally, when one thinks of quality versus work, one thinks of quality 'at work', aiming, therefore, at the physical and mental safeguard of the worker. However, for the development of this research, we elaborated the following question: what are the implications of adopting quality OF work instead of quality AT work in the context of teaching activity? From this question posed, we established as objective to understand the categories work and teaching as work in the context of Applied Linguistics, going through a transdisciplinary trajectory. In methodological terms, this qualitative research consists of a theoretical articulation based on the Clinic of Activity, according to Clot (2013, 2017a, 2017b), among other authors. It can also be characterized as exploratory, since we seek a greater familiarity with the theme teacher work and its relationship with quality. Concerning the source and procedures, it is classified as a bibliographic study. Finally, we come to a position that advocates for the quality of work instead of quality at work, because this turn raises the promotion of an existential activism in the worker, providing transformation in his environment and in himself, besides the pride of being who he is.
