O papel do pedagogo nas casas de acolhimento institucional: um estudo de caso na cidade de Jaboatão dos Guararapes - PE

Abstract

The main goal of this research is to understand the role of a professional graduated in pedagogy in an institutional shelter for children and adolescents in the city of Jaboatão dos Guararapes – PE and, to achieve this main goal, had three specific objectives: characterize an institutional care home and how its organization is carried out, map which professionals work in this care home and what their functions are, and analyze the performance of the pedagogue in this institution. Regarding the methodology, the research is qualitative in nature and adopted a case study approach, having as instruments for data collection the total observation, the questionnaire and the semi-structured interview. We found that the institutional shelter studied is within practically all the national legal parameters required by the norms that govern the institution, which are the Technical Guidelines for the Welcoming Service for Children and Adolescents, in relation to its infrastructure and functioning of the service. However, it distances itself a little from these parameters in relation to employees, because their educators/caregivers do not have sufficient education or training. We believe that there are functions in the institution that could be better performed by a professional graduated in Pedagogy, therefore, we consider the presence of a pedagogue in the staff of the institutional shelters for children and adolescents to be essential. We also believe that in Pedagogy graduation college could have greater discussion in relation to work in non-school spaces.
