Condições de trabalho do professor universitário: influências do modelo de organização da produção a partir de 2002

Abstract

Inserted in the research line "Work, Society and Education" of the program of graduate studies in Education at the Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, this thesis argues that the working conditions of the University professor had considerable impact of the model of organization of production, from the year of 2002. In this sense, the object of study is the current work conditions of teaching staff in higher education, as well as the identity issues pressing the teacher in such an environment. The reflections of all installed scenario from the global templates deserve to be included, under the aegis of the teaching profession in the face of a reality marked by deprofessionalization, devaluation, disqualification and proletarianization of the profession by setting definitely in the loss of identity. In the context of these issues, it is important to establish a unique discussion board, to rethink education as important means of the constant changes that occur in the productive world. This study aimed to search, with the teachers of the Federal public institution of higher learning of Ituiutaba – FACIP/UFU, the influence of the recurrences of the evolution of the Organization of work and the consequent impact on the restructuring of Federal universities with regard to vocational training of graduates of degree courses, between the years of 2002 and 2014. To achieve the purpose of the survey, there were defined as specific objectives: i) discussing the expansion of capitalism in the world, as the source of the restructuring of production and work from the year of 2002; ii) analyzing and discussing the impacts of the change of the model of organization of production and work on the teaching profession, from the year 2002; iii) reflect on the need for research on the education, notably on the development of teaching. The quali-quantitative exploratory research with 48 faculty members of the University happened during the period from 01 August to 30 September 2016. The results corroborate with the thesis, revealing that in the view of the surveyed one of the main influences of new ways of organising production and work, from the year 2002, dictated by the capitalist/toyotist model, is reducing the matrix of jobs in Brazil. They also revealed that the professional features required of individuals and the need of chasing a job vacancy awoke in the same consciousness that only better training and constant qualification will make your difference. For the respondents, one of the major problems generated by the capitalist system, which reflects on the roles of teachers, is related to the inability of the educational System as a whole, even under the pressure of the complex system state and system of production, in producing workforce and technologies with the same speed required by the productive world. Conclusively, it became apparent that the productive world directs the objectives of the education system, guiding the State in defining its policies; governs the goals of educational institutions and teachers, ingesting and guiding in the training of the workforce and in the directions of researches.
