Trajetória do movimento docente em Candeias/BA : organização, mobilização e luta (1980-2018)

Abstract

This dissertation records the results of an investigation into the trajectory of the teaching movement in the municipal network of Candeias/Ba, between the years 1980 and 2018. Our focus was mainly on the participation of teachers in three associations created in different contexts throughout the period studied. The main objective of the research was: to analyze, in the light of the categories participation, association and union, the involvement of teachers in the struggle for the creation and functioning of associations and as specific objectives: to identify the factors that contributed to the creation and functioning of the associations and that way they contributed to the organization of teachers; to reflect on the possible repercussions of the teaching movement in the local political scenario and in the struggle for the improvement of working conditions, career, salaries. The empirical basis of the study was based on oral and written sources, through semi-structured interviews with leaders of the teaching movement, as well as the identification of journalistic materials, newsletters and information obtained from the interviewees' personal file. The theoretical framework was mainly based on the formulations of Gonh, (1997, 2012. 2015, 2019), Bordenave, (1994), Orión (1988), Martin-Baró (1985), Chaui (1989), Freitas (1991) and Viera (2016). These authors presented us with different concepts of participation, in addition to the studies Jesus (2007), Cruz (2015), Silva (2013), Rêses (2008) and Candido (2003), Luz (2008), Gindin (2013), Cruz (2008) ), Godinho (2018), in addition to the theses and dissertations of Almeida (2015), Silva (2013), Araújo Filho (2015) and Guimarães Neto (2018) also allowed us to understand the conceptual nature and approximations and distances between associations and unions. In the course of the work, we sought to analyze the local political scenario, and the influences of the mobilizing events of the organization of the teaching category in the state and at the national level, in addition to identifying the main actions carried out by the teaching movement, the motivations, the alliances, the mishaps, the clashes and the different strategies used by the teachers, in the organization of events, carrying out strikes, marches, etc. As a result, from the analysis presented, we describe the main political actions of the teachers of Candeias/Ba, their achievements in relation to the improvement of their working conditions, career and salary and the struggle to stay organized through the representation of the category in associations. In addition, we also identified the repercussions of the role of teachers in disputes over the direction of the union of municipal servants in the city
