Desafios da gestão pedagógica: relações entre o trabalho pedagógico e a interculturalidade no Instituto Federal de Roraima - Campus Amajari

Abstract

This work constitutes a Master's research carried out in the context of the Graduate Program in Agricultural Education of the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro, in partnership with the Federal Institute of Roraima. The study presents a reflection concerning the Pedagogical Manager’s professional profile of the Institute, Amajari Campus - in the State of Roraima. The research’s main objective consisted of analyzing the specificities of this professional due to the Institute’s location, a frontier region (Brazil/Venezuela), whose students are indigenous and non-indigenous, coming from communities in the municipality, and Venezuelans who migrate to the locality searching for vocational training high school, resulting, thus, in an important cultural diversity of students. Qualitative research corresponded to the methodological approach adopted, characterized by bibliographic and field methods. Interviews were also conducted from semi-structured questionnaires applied to 6 (six) Pedagogical Managers. The ethnographic method was also used in order to relate and contrast the interviewees responses to the observed school context under analysis. The results show that the team of professionals working as pedagogical function of the institution has, for the most of it, sensu stricto training, at Masters’ and PhD levels. All interviewees have experience at teaching. It was also verified that many are the challenges of managing a border institution: it requires working with different cultures presented at the school and the necessity to develop multitasking activities; there is an excess of bureaucratic work and difficulties of adherence to the proposals offered by the teachers, among other requirements addressed throughout this text.
