A atuação do professor coordenador na formação continuada docente: concepções, práticas e dificuldades

Abstract

This work intends to consist of a study on the performance of the pedagogical coordinator teacher in the in-service teacher education. With intention to apprehend the conceptions, practices and difficulties of the researched object, we used as source of data, technical documents (specialized literature) and official documents (legislations and programs). To illustrate the performance of the pedagogical coordinator teacher we used the data of a research carried through with a pedagogical coordinator teacher of a public school of the interior of the state of São Paulo. It is, therefore, a study case, with qualitative approach. Yet, we made use of the theoretical references on the performance of the pedagogical coordinator teacher and we found out that he plays an important role in the in-service teacher education and in the development of constant studies and reflections within the scope of school. The analysis of the research on the pedagogical coordinator teacher, focus of our work, allows us an approximation and a reflection on the developed in-service teacher education. In this direction, when bringing up those reflections, we point out, yet, the importance of the collective work developed in the collective pedagogical working hours HTPC as a space of in-service teacher education.
