Contribuições da ergologia sobre a saúde de professores de escolas públicas de Parintins no Baixo Amazonas

Abstract

This Course Completion Work - TCC, originates from questions raised by the researcher in her experiences in academic activities, within the scope of public schools in the municipality of Parintins, through observations, conversations and informal dialogues with teachers, where she returned attention to issues related to the illness of education professionals. As well as complaints about chronic problems acquired in teaching, such as constant use of the voice; students with learning difficulties; methods of inclusion of people with disabilities; they were part of the teachers' anxieties about the health problems that affected them (GANGUIHEM, 2002). It was raised as a guiding question: What are the causes of the illness of teachers who work in basic education in Parintins, in the Lower Amazon? They are based on authors such as Codo (2006), Schwartz (2010), Durrive (2021) and Diniz E Veríssimo (2021) who present ergology as a great contribution to the improvement of work, with regard to educational practices. First, a bibliographic survey was carried out, followed by field research with a qualitative approach. The work carried out was analyzed based on the teachers' speeches, noting that they possibly have health problems due to their working conditions. It was concluded that among the teachers surveyed, in the exercise of their functions, there are several health problems, both physical and mental, related to their experience in the classroom, socially and personally.
