Os desafios de um coordenador pedagógico da rede pública de ensino do Município de Maceió: um estudo de caso

Abstract

This article seeks to understand the role of the Pedagogical Coordinator within the school, highlighting the difficulties and challenges they face, as well as presenting basic guidelines for carrying out their duties in a public school in Maceió-AL. The Pedagogical Coordinator plays a crucial role in mediating between School Management, teachers, and the community, aiming to ensure the quality of the teaching and learning process, which faces a series of obstacles that directly compromise the effectiveness of the work. The methodology adopted in this study includes bibliographical research and, as a procedure, a descriptive qualitative approach, structured as a case study supported by structured interviews. Several authors contribute to the understanding and discussion of the research question: What challenges are faced by a Pedagogical Coordinator in the public school system of the municipality of Maceió? Based on the analysis of the interview, the main challenges identified include the lack of resources, work overload, limited autonomy, and the need for continuous and specialized training. The study draws on the work of authors such as Fonseca (2001), Libâneo (2002), Oliveira (2004), and Vasconcellos (2007), among others, with the aim of examining the pedagogical practices that shape the school environment.
