“Apagando Incêndios” na Educação Pública: a Atuação e os Vínculos Organizacionais das Equipes Multiprofissionais no Contexto da Pandemia da COVID 19

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic led to the need for social distancing, which resulted in the suspension of activities in several sectors, including multidisciplinary education teams, which had to deal with new working conditions, which may have affected the processes of work and organizational ties of these groups. In this context, this research investigated, from a psychosociological perspective, the quality of the organizational ties in the practices of multidisciplinary work teams in public schools in Teresina, in the context of the COVID 19 pandemic. This is a qualitative, descriptive-exploratory study, carried out with pedagogues, social workers, psychologists and psychopedagogues from three multidisciplinary teams, located in the Regional Managements of Education in Teresina. A sociodemographic questionnaire and a semi-structured interview script were used. The data were transcribed, categorized and discussed in the light of the Organizational and Work Psychology theoretical reference, using Bardin's (2016) content analysis method. Commitment is associated by most workers with subjective issues, their ethical and social commitment. However, signs of entrenchment and consent were perceived in some professionals. The results corroborate what is presented in the literature, which indicates that problems with working conditions affect the effectiveness of the teams, as well as interfere with satisfaction, personal fulfillment and the desire to stay in the institution for half of the professionals in two teams. The pandemic is mentioned as a factor that aggravated demands and work overload, but also brought greater visibility to the importance of teams in schools.
