Atuação das (os) pedagogas (os) em espaços não escolares: um estudo de caso nas casas de acolhimento em João Pessoa-PB

Abstract

In this course conclusion work, the general objective is to analyze the performance of pedagogues in non-school spaces, such as foster homes and specific objectives: to dialogue about the concept of pedagogy as well as the role of the pedagogue; to investigate the performance of pedagogy professionals at foster homes in João Pessoa (state of PB, Brazil); and reflect on the contributions arising from the pedagogues' performances in the perspective of valuing these professionals in non-school spaces. Exploratory research with a qualitative approach was consolidated through articles, theses and dissertations found in academic portals and data collection triggered the use of two techniques: a questionnaire proposed for Pedagogy students at the CE Education Center of the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) and an interview under the audio-recording mechanism carried out by Pedagogy graduates who work in shelters in the city of João Pessoa. The questionnaire was constructed based on 9 (nine) multiple-choice questions and checkboxes in order to investigate Pedagogy students' knowledge about the performance of Pedagogues in non-school spaces such as houses of welcoming, in view of his position as an active student at CE/UFPB. A total of 33 (thirty-three) students collaborated on the research. 3 (three) Pedagogues were separatedly interviewed and asked to feel free to answer the proposed questions regarding their professional profile and performance within their work scenario. It is noteworthy that the data analysis process followed three stages: reduction, presentation and conclusion/verification. This division was made based on the contributions of Gil (2008), in order to facilitate the visibility of information and better understanding of the reader. The results revealed the importance of Pedagogues in non-school spaces, especially in shelters. Their performance as pedagogical mediators and a systematic view of the educational process allows these professionals to be qualified to face this non- formal learning scenario. Regarding the questionnaire proposed to CE students, it can be noted that many students know about the theme of Pedagogues in non-school spaces, yet they feel the need to effectively insert this content in the curricular matrix of the Pedagogy course.
