Description
This thesis aims at understanding how the insertion of the social worker and the
psychologist contribute to the answers regarding the psychosocial demands in the High
School of Arts and Crafts. We built its proposal based on the experience in the Extension
Project entitled Education and Citizenship, done by the Social Service course of the Catholic
University of Pernambuco in 2016. In this project, based on weekly activities such as
workshops, exhibition and discussion of videos, dialogues. and lectures, we aimed at
providing students with reflections related to daily life, not only at school, but also related to
the familiar and community contexts. The proposal was to promote the construction of
values that would contribute to the citizens' formation of the participants, founded on the
understanding of education beyond formal education. Thus, to problematize the thesis
proposal, we start from the assumption that the school reality is affected by the psychosocial
dynamics and presents demands that go beyond the teaching-learning process. Violence,
the teacher-student relationship, family conflicts, bullying and drugs are some examples of
those psychosocial phenomena that permeate the school environment, influencing their
context. As we understand that those demands require an interdisciplinary professional
performance that provides a broad reading of reality and contributes to the reflection and
construction of a work proposal that encompasses the complexity of this school daily life, in
this thesis we propose to take as the field- theme the interdisciplinarity within the school
context, seeking to understand how the interaction Social Work and Psychology can
respond to the psychosocial demands that emerge in this field. In this sense, the thesis took
into account the cartographic method of analysis and, with a qualitative approach, adopted
as research resources the narrative interview, the ludic group and the observation of the
demands identifyed with the students, raised in the relationships and experiences that
pervade the reality of that particular audience at school. As research subjects we
interviewed: 4 (four) managers (principal, vice-principal, pedagogical coordinator and
educational advisor), 4 (four) professionals, being 1 (one) psychologist of the school staff,
1 (one) psychologist and 2 (two) social workers who perform social projects at school, one
(1) volunteer from the Education and Citizenship extension project and two (2) school
teachers. The ludic group, in turn, was performed by 8 (eight) students who participated in
the extension project. In its development, the research led us to an analysis of education
as a field of professional action of interdisciplinary dimension that requires, at school,
strategies and interventions which include the scope of their demands and the innovations
of the current educational process, a reflection on the importance of extension and its
contribution to the professional qualification, as well as the discussion of the approaches
and specificities between the profession of Social Work and Psychology in a context marked
by a frequent joint action.
