Pedagogia e Pedagogos em espaços não escolares na cidade de Manaus: rastros e indícios

Abstract

Pedagogy is a field of knowledge dedicated to the systematic study of education, the educational act, and educational practice. It addresses the educational phenomenon and, in the contemporary context, has become increasingly relevant to meet growing educational demands. Today, it is recognized that pedagogues can contribute significantly not only within schools, but also beyond them. Although schools are the main field of activity for pedagogues, the diversity of educational practices has increased in society, which expands the role of pedagogy to other environments outside of school. This study aims to understand how the professional performance of pedagogues is configured in non-school settings in the city of Manaus. The aim is to study the theoretical foundations of pedagogy as a science of education, identify the areas in which pedagogues work in non-school educational settings in Manaus, and analyze the practices of pedagogues in these environments. The research is based on studies by Libâneo (1994, 1997, 2001), Saviani (2007), Pimenta (2011), Franco (2008, 2016), Severo (2015, 2018), and others that address Pedagogy as a science of education. This is a qualitative investigation in education, with bibliographic and documentary study. The Evidential Paradigm by the Italian historian Carlo Ginzburg (1989) was used for data collection and analysis. The areas of action of the pedagogue identified through the evidence were labor pedagogy, legal pedagogy, health pedagogy, cultural pedagogy, among others. The traces of the practices of pedagogues in non-school educational spaces are related to participation in the planning, coordination, evaluation, organization and management of systems and people, activities that are related to the work of pedagogues stricto sensu. The study suggests expanding the debate on the training and professional performance of pedagogues, as well as knowledge of pedagogical practices in the training and work context in non-school institutions.
