O trabalho docente no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e tecnologia de Pernambuco – IFPE: intensificação e a precarização

Abstract

The main objective of this research was to analyze the increasingly precarious conditions for teaching at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Pernambuco (IFPE). For this, the following methodological procedures were used: The first one was a detailed review of extant scholarship in the area of Sociology of Work and Education, in order to contextualize the research and to elaborate its theoretical orientations. Secondly, primary data was carried out to analyze online questionnaires completed by teachers. Data were collected under the auspices of a research project entitled, "The expansion of the Federal Institutes of Education: The political-ideological profile and working conditions of the teachers of basic, technical and technological education," developed at the Joaquim Nabuco Foundation. Changes in the field of vocational and technological education, as well as the restructuring and expansion of the federal network, impacted the work of teachers at federal institutions, considering that the creation of new legal and normative regiments and the configuration of a new institutional culture provoked new rhythms and meanings for teaching, characterized by involvement in different forms of teaching, research, extension and management activities. This process has required teachers to live with an intensification of work that extends beyond the workplace to the times and spaces of private life.
