O trabalho do pedagogo em espaços não escolar: as possibilidades estabelecidas pelo curso de pedagogia do Campus IV - UFPB

Abstract

This monograph addresses the role of pedagogues in non-school settings. Its main objective is to analyze the opportunities offered by the Pedagogy program at UFPB Campus IV to students regarding work in non-school settings. We present a brief history of education and a brief history of the Pedagogy program in Brazil to contextualize the topic. We seek to understand the individual perceptions of pedagogues, based on a questionnaire regarding work in non-school settings after completing initial training at the University and possible continuing education that can be obtained through extension projects offered in non-school settings. This qualitative work was conducted through a questionnaire administered to all Pedagogy students at Campus IV to understand their perceptions of the topic. Only 10 respondents responded. Through the responses, it was clear that other possibilities for action should be presented in the early semesters of the course, as this way, many students, as they complete the training process, become aware that not only the classroom awaits them. Other possibilities for the pedagogue's work are only presented to this audience in the 8th semester with the subject "Organization and Practice in Non-School Spaces." We demonstrate the history of education since prehistory (Aranha, 2012), a brief history of education in Brazil (Melo, 2012), and the training of pedagogues in Brazil. Furthermore, the work presents a discussion on a still complex and controversial topic: the work of pedagogues in non-school settings, highlighting the benefits of expanding the range of possibilities that the Pedagogy program can offer.
