Percepção de educadores de abrigo: o seu trabalho e a criança institucionalizada

Abstract

Educadores de abrigo: seu trabalho e a criança institucionalizada Rev Bras Crescimento Desenvolvimento Hum. 2011; 21( Palavras-chave: criança; abrigo. ABSTRACT:The aim of this article is to study the perception of shelter care educators regarding the work performed by them as well as their effect on the institutionalized children under their care. Questionnaires were administered to 102 educators working in the largest shelter care facility in Belem during the period from 2004 to 2006. The results indicated that in the educator's view, in general service was satisfactory, and whereas basic physical needs were being met, provisions for affective and intellectual growth were not adequate. In particular, children in these facilities had little privacy, nor were they afforded sufficient individual attention. Furthermore, the educator's work appeared to exert minimal influence on the children's cognitive and emotional development. Such information may be useful for formulating more effective pedagogical policies, emphasizing a more integrated link between child care and education.

Capacitação para educadores de abrigo de crianças e adolescentes: identificando representações sociais

“…Constatamos a pouca representatividade de pesquisas que abordem essa temática. Entretanto, vale destacar, alguns estudos (Orionte & Souza, 2005;Nascimento, Lacaz, & Travassos, 2010;Magalhães, Costa, & Cavalcante, 2011) que apontam para a crescente importância que o tema capacitação passou a ter para os trabalhadores de abrigo, de como a atuação tem ficado cada vez mais técnica e da importância de "cuidar do cuidador", ou seja, de se aprimorar os níveis de atenção a esse profissional que lida com questões tão complexas e delicadas. Apesar da falta de critérios acerca de como a capacitação deve acontecer, as Orientações Técnicas para os Serviços de Acolhimento (Brasil, Petrus (2003) referindo-se especificamente aos educadores sociais, considerou que esses profissionais devem participar continuamente de formação que considerem, a princípio, duas aprendizagens: uma voltada para a melhoria das habilidades do próprio educador, e a segunda, a condição do educador auxiliar na melhora das habilidades a partir da interação com outro.…”

Conceptions and practices of educators at child sheltering institutions

“…Sheltering institutions for children have occupied a special place in research in Brazil (Avoglia, Silva, & Mattos, 2012;Cavalcante & Corrêa, 2012;Corrêa, Cavalcante, Silva, & Dell'Aglio, 2011;Freiria & Caldana, 2011;Magalhães et al, 2011), with studies dedicated to investigating the role exerted by educators, starting from their conceptions and knowledge about childhood and care practices, in addition to the influence of this specific context.…”

“…and education of children (Cavalcante, Magalhães, & Pontes, 2009;Magalhães, Costa, & Cavalcante, 2011;Martins & Szymansky, 2004;Moré & Sperancetta, 2010;Ortín, 2012).…”

Shelter educators: conceptions on development and care practices in play situation

“…Although the family has been recognized as a broad developmental context by its set of functions socially attributed, it cannot be held as the only one in terms of developmental pathway, as it has been increasingly sharing with institutions for children 11,12 the care and education of younger generations.…”

“…The conceptions of development gather more repertoire than only the knowledge about what it is to play, but everything else that concerns the play in the care routine in the early years of childhood, in the milestone of the neuropsychomotor maturation, and in the decisive phases for the acquisition of important skills. The literature 11,13,14 shows that the play has an important role in the developmental pathway, demanding from the child educator the domain of its theoretical basis and routines capable of promoting social learning and emotional maturation through play situations.…”
