O trabalho do assistente social em equipes pedagógicas no Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica Celso Suckow da Fonseca (CEFET-RJ) sob a perspectiva de um trabalho multifuncional

Abstract

This dissertation seeks to understand the social worker’s labour, required due to the recente expansion of the Federal Educational System. Allocated in a pedagogical team, whose composition comprises fewer civil servants than the quantity projected by the organizational chart, it is understood that the social worker suffers the consequences from the current dynamics of labour force’s exploitation, under the capitalism. It is understood that the collective work process’ configuration ,and the workforce’s management in the present case study, demand a multifunctional work from the social worker. Multifunctionality, which consists of incorporating new tasks and responsibilities in one’s job, is a characteristic that has been identified as a request to social workers’ labour for almost two decades. Despite this fact, few studies have reflected about the theme. This is a qualitative research, guided by a perspective of totality, based on the Dialectical & Historical Materialism method. It is a case study, in which a professional‘s work is analyzed according to the Professor Ney Luiz Teixeira de Almeida’s structured script. The main considerations pointed out by the research are that, in addition to multifunctionality, other characteristics, such as the work’s intensification and rationalization, or multitasking were also observed . These characteristics derived from the productive sector can also be noted in the scope of the State’s work, reinforcing that this workforce’s management of the social worker’s sector affects the dynamics of the social workers’ in the civil service.
