Abstract

This research was guided by the following central question: what are teachers' perceptions of teaching work and professional training in a full-time school located in a city in the interior of the state of Goiás? The general objective of the study was to describe and analyze teachers' perceptions of their work and training in a full-time school in a city in the interior of Goiás. The specific objectives were: a) To analyze teachers' understandings of their training for working within the framework of comprehensive education; and b) To describe the working conditions and organization of teachers’ work in a full-time school in a city in the interior of Goiás, aimed at educational practices aligned with the concept of comprehensive education. Methodologically, this study is characterized as qualitative research, with semi-structured interviews used as the primary data collection instrument. The participants were four teachers working at the school that served as the focus of the study. Theoretically, the research draws on authors who discuss comprehensive education, such as Gadotti, Teixeira, Oliveira, and Santos, and scholars who examine teaching work, including Tardif and Lessard, Marin, and Affonso. Support was also drawn from official documents guiding full-time education policies, as well as dissertations and theses on the subject. As for the results, the study highlights teachers’ work overload and other challenges they face, which often lead to health issues. It also underscores the lack of adequate teacher training for working within the comprehensive education framework.
