O coordenador pedagógico e a mediação dos processos pedagógicos nas instituições municipais de ensino da AMMOC

Abstract

This dissertation seeks to examine the role of the professional responsible for facilitating pedagogical mediation between teachers and students in municipal educational institutions within the region governed by the Association of Municipalities of the Midwestern Region of Santa Catarina (AMMOC), which comprises 12 municipalities. The study aims to determine whether pedagogical mediation is a priority for these municipalities and whether it is addressed in the career and salary frameworks for municipal employees. To this end, a set of specific objectives was established: to identify who performs pedagogical mediation in the investigated schools within AMMOC municipal institutions; to analyze how municipal laws define the role of the pedagogical coordinator in these schools; to assess, based on official documents, whether the municipalities within AMMOC have adequately recognized the importance of the pedagogical coordinator in their legal frameworks; and to understand the responsibilities assigned to pedagogical coordinators, particularly whether pedagogical mediation and continuous professional development are included among their duties. The pursuit of answers to the questions posed by these objectives is grounded in qualitative research, employing bibliographic research, a review of the current body of knowledge, and documentary analysis. The documentary research draws on a collection of municipal laws from AMMOC members, accessible through a public website. Findings suggest that the municipal schools in the region lack comprehensive support from a professional responsible for pedagogical mediation and the ongoing professional development of teachers within the school environment. To address this gap and offer support to the school community and AMMOC's education departments, a technical report was developed. This report aims to disseminate the research findings to schools and serve as a foundation for revising municipal legislation, incorporating the role of pedagogical coordination for enhanced support.
