Desafios enfrentados por professoras na educação e possíveis contribuições da análise do comportamento: um estudo de caso

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to investigate the challenges faced by teachers in the classroom and in planning teaching contingencies. The objectives of the study are: to understand the teachers' perception of these problems, the strategies used to face them and the possible contributions of Behavior Analysis to the analysis and resolution of these challenges. To achieve this objective, a qualitative approach was used: the case study, which allows a deeper understanding of the context of the school unit where the study was conducted and the perspectives of the Elementary School II teachers through interviews. The results showed that the main challenges faced are derived from the lack of material and human resources within the institution, difficulty in managing the aggressive behavior of students, and the absence of other parts of the care network for students, overloading the educators. The strategies used to deal with the obstacles are used individually and intuitively, revealing the lack of systematization of good practices. It is concluded that the contributions of Behavior Analysis are relevant, but that they must align with the concrete conditions of the institutions and promote practices that are sensitive to the school reality
