Subjects under restriction and deprivation of freedom and mathematics
Education in the prison context raises several questions, doubts and prejudices, making it essential to investigate and publicize how this education develops and who the subjects involved are. Based on this premise, this article presents a survey of the state of knowledge about Youth and Adult Education (EJA) in situations of restriction and deprivation of liberty, with the aim of identifying what the academic literature reveals on the topic. To guide the research, the following question was formulated: how are subjects in situations of restriction and deprivation of freedom represented in academic productions originating from Stricto Sensu Professional Postgraduate Programs? We started research on the Sucupira Platform, focusing on Stricto Sensu Professional Postgraduate Programs. We identified 91 programs, of which 79 offer only a Professional Master's degree and 12 offer both a Master's degree and a Professional Doctorate. After screening, we cataloged 13 dissertations related to the topic. The research timeframe begins in 2011, when Capes established the Teaching Area. Of the 13 educational products catalogued, only 4 are related to mathematics. Based on these results, this article seeks to promote critical reflection and deepen the debate on the role of mathematics in prison education, emphasizing the need for pedagogical practices that promote the dignity and integral formation of these individuals.

This study investigated factors contributing to the long-term retention of maritime officers in the Philippines with a focus on management level and operational level officers. The maritime industry, a major contributor to the global economy, also exhibits high turnover rates and a challenging recruitment environment despite paying above average wages. The study explored the intrinsic and extrinsic factors career progression, job satisfaction, remuneration, work-life balance and family support. A mixed method research design, utilized both quantitative survey data and qualitative interview data to examine the various factors associated with officers' decision to remain with their companies or disengage and consider options with other organizations. There were two hundred officers surveyed with an equal distribution of management and operational level officers. Results showed generally high job satisfaction driven by meaningful work and camaraderie with work colleagues, however, there remained significant gaps regarding officers' perceived financial security, ability to pursue career development opportunities, and subsequently, work-life balance. Respondents indicated the need for more distinct career pathways, financial rewards, stronger family support, and better emotional well-being initiatives. The research indicates that officers generally believed in the intrinsic values of a seafarer's life, but factors like family dislocation, job fatigue, and lack of sufficient career development opportunities were likely to be drivers for turnover. Recommendations included more comprehensive financial rewards, clear career pathways, and stronger mental health and family support systems. The research offers meaningful engagement for maritime companies to help develop retention strategies for improving turnover rates and job security in the industry.
Occupational risk perception among administrative-technicians in education at a brazilian public university
This study aimed to identify the sociodemographic and occupational characteristics associated with occupational risk perception in a multidisciplinary team of administrative technicians in education at a Brazilian public university; verifying the health, lifestyle, and work conditions of these workers; and analyzing their perceptions of ergonomic risks related to repetitive tasks, working in the same position for long periods, and continuing to work when experiencing pain/injury. A sample was analyzed using questionnaires to address sociodemographic and occupational data. A significant association was found between regular or poor/very poor physical health and the risk factor “performing repetitive tasks” (p=0.019 and p=0.044). Working in the same position for long periods was significantly associated with regular or poor/very poor physical health (p=0.011 and p=0.004), age (p=0.027), and hours spent on a computer (p<0.001). Continuing to work when experiencing pain or injury was significantly associated with regular physical health (p=0.031). The physical health of the administrative technicians at the university was the variable most frequently associated with the risk factors addressed here, while the risk factor most predominant among the technicians was working in the same position for long periods.
The influence of ICTs and artificial intelligence on the precariousness of teaching work
This article aims to discuss the relationship between the precarization of teaching work and the adoption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and Artificial Intelligences (AIs) in the school environment. Additionally, it seeks to debate the efficiency of theseresources for the educational field and who truly benefits from them. The methodology used was a literature review of articles, books, and dissertations. The study considered the challenges of the digital age in teaching work, particularly aspects such as: the need for comprehensive and critical teacher training for the use of technologies; and the impacts of poor working conditions on the health of these professionals. The results highlight the necessity for further studies to understand the potential implications of ICTs in general and the use of AIs in particular for the process of devaluing teachers' work.

Integral Education in EJA-EPT Integrated High School
The objective of the article is to analyze the content of empirical research that discusses comprehensive education, preferably within the EJA-EPT modality. The research focuses on comprehensive education in Integrated High School EJA-EPT, addressing potential relationships for implementing this form of education. The study is grounded in the theoretical framework of EPT, as proposed by Ciavatta (2005, 2014), Frigotto (2012, 2014), Machado (2008), Moura (2007, 2014, 2017), Ramos (2010, 2014), and Saviani (2007, 2021), as well as discussions on EJA by Machado (2010, 2014). The primary methodology used is Content Analysis (Bardin, 2016). Data were derived from empirical research published between 2017 and 2022, obtained through searches on CAPES, Scielo, Google Scholar, and institutional repositories. The results indicate that: the epistemological understanding reveals a gap in the comprehension of the foundations and principles of EPT; pedagogical understanding needs to support systematic historical knowledge to avoid separating theory from practice; and the continuous professional development of teachers in the political and organizational context needs to be applied in daily school life. The study concludes that comprehensive education is still a proposal within educational spaces that needs to be embraced as an institutional project, involving work and culture, based on omnilateral education to establish a counter-hegemonic space.
Digital technologies and remote work in state public schools linked to SRE in Diamantina
This research aimed to investigate the actions, guidelines, limits, and possibilities reported by teachers of Natural Sciences (Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Sciences) and Mathematics at “Superintendência Regional de Ensino (SRE) of Diamantina, about the insertion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in educational processes, due to the suspension of activities face-to-face activities, to carry out the “Regime Especial de Atividades Não Presenciais” (REANP), in the state of Minas Gerais. Data collection took place through an online questionnaire made available to teachers of Natural Sciences and Mathematics working in state schools that offer high school. The methodology adopted for data analysis consisted of Discursive Textual Analysis (DTA), and the pre-established categories were: 1) Profile of the teacher of Natural Sciences (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) and Mathematics at SRE of Diamantina; 2) Adaptation process to activities and remote work; 3) Remote Teaching of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. As a result, this research found that emergency remote teaching highlighted social inequalities and inequalities in access to technological resources, whether material or connection, as well as the need for permanent training of education professionals, enabling reflection on the pedagogical practice that allows the option aware of whether to include digital technologies in teaching practices of SRE in Diamantina.
Teaching work with the education of affects in literature classes
The official guidelines for basic education in Brazil (BNCC) did not sufficiently follow the discussion that was taking place, in the country and in the world, about the integral formation of the individual. Thus, today we have a document that privileges technical knowledge, linked to a type of post-Enlightenment education (Morin, 2000), to the detriment of the education of affections. This article therefore proposes a reflection on how the literary aesthetic experience is understood by Base (Portolomeos, 2021, 2022) and on how teaching work with literature can consolidate the development of socio-emotional skills in the contemporary context of our students, marked by “self-absorption of selfie culture” and self-modeling (Rocha, 2023). Our hypothesis is that work with literary reading at school can be understood as one of the main forces against the decline of homo psychologicus, in which there is a displacement of the axis around which what we are is built: from within (intro-directed) to the outside (alter-directed) (Sibilia, 2016). In this new configuration of the self, each person's image became the main exchange value to the detriment of elements linked to character, a fact debated by Richard Sennet (2016) as “corrosion of character”. Literary reading encourages the reader to engage with characters and ideas different from his own, encouraging him to think about values ​​such as empathy, solidarity and tolerance in the constitution of himself and society.
Interview by Romaric Godin with Marcello Musto, author of "The Last Years of Karl Marx" (Les Dernières Années de Karl Marx: une biographie intellectuelle 1881-1883), an intellectual biography of the old Marx, between 1881 and 1883, that allows us to rediscover a thinker in constant motion, more open to the world's diversity than one might have believed.
Esta tese busca desvelar saberes e valores em circulação na atividade de abatimento de choco. Essa operação consiste na identificação e derrubada de rochas instáveis realizada manualmente por trabalhadores alocados em duplas, considerada uma das operações mais críticas em termos da saúde e segurança do trabalhador na mineração subterrânea. Têm-se como campo uma mineradora de pequeno porte, familiar, única no mundo a extrair, por meio de lavra subterrânea, determinado tipo de mineral. Adotou-se a Abordagem Ergológica do Trabalho que busca evidenciar a atividade humana situada oferecendo um quadro referencial que não apenas permite o encontro com a atividade, como também questiona o meio em que isso acontece por meio de um debate de normas que mobiliza saberes e os valores em circulação naquela experiência. Num primeiro momento, realizou-se entrevistas exploratórias semiestruturadas, por meio das quais obteve-se informações acerca da história pessoal/familiar e profissional de dois trabalhadores com destacada experiência no abatimento de choco, sendo possível identificar elementos que sugerem o que cada um gosta de fazer ali, porque permanece ali, como construiu sua vida e sua vida no trabalho – considerando-se, sobretudo, a indissociabilidade entre elas. Em seguida, tomou-se o método de Instrução ao Sósia como referência para a aproximação mais efetiva da atividade nessa situação de trabalho, propondo a eles a verbalização detalhada de como a realizam, tornando sua experiência acessível para compreendê-la em seus saberes, valores e renormalizações empreendidas no seu exercício cotidiano. As instruções revelaram um fazer em um ambiente marcado por riscos como baixa luminosidade, ruído, umidade e variações do maciço rochoso, apontando para a necessidade de avançar em direção à compreensão dos saberes de prudência e em dimensões como a atenção, memória, percepção, audição, visão, sensações corporais presentes nos gestos desses trabalhadores e fundamentais, não só para a sua segurança e de seu colega, mas também para as demais operações da mina. Para tal propósito, utilizou-se a Entrevista de Explicitação, convocando os trabalhadores a verbalizar a ação por eles empreendida, enquanto importante fonte de informação sobre a realização da atividade, buscando a descrição de seu desenrolar, tal como ela foi realizada, enquanto trabalho real. Para dar conta do trabalho prescrito, o trabalhador desenvolve no próprio corpo saberes na e pela experiência, deve estar atento aos sinais de risco, memorizá-los e evocar, a todo instante, ainda que de forma não consciente, esses saberes, a fim de sobreviver a cada entrada na mina. Em dupla, ele toma, a todo momento, micro decisões em relação ao que fazer para proteger a si e ao seu companheiro, decisões essas perpassadas por valores como confiança, solidariedade, proteção. Em seu cotidiano de trabalho, esse trabalhador é convocado a lidar com algo que não é padronizado, contingente a cada situação, agindo a partir de sua experiência, requisitada no aqui e agora. O corpo-si, essa “entidade enigmática”, está aí fortemente presente, carregada de saberes encarnados, sensoriais, difíceis de serem verbalizados, mas acessíveis a cada vez que as variabilidades do meio subterrâneo os convocam.
This dissertation aims to explore labor through the analysis of the work activity of female welders. The study was conducted with women who worked on the construction sites of a national company in the electric power generation sector, situated in the North Fluminense port region of the state of Rio de Janeiro. In construction environments, the temporary outsourcing of labor for hiring purposes is commonplace. Traditionally, these spaces are predominantly occupied by men, with welding being an operational craft associated with a high risk of accidents. Additionally, women often face additional challenges related to workload and discrimination in this context. Some workers, as evidenced by this research, manage to occupy these spaces, supported by affirmative actions implemented by companies, including vocational formation programs. However, questions arise about the effects of these inclusion measures on the health or potential illness of the workers, as well as their perspectives on this work situation and how to strengthen the development of their agency. The research was conducted in the form of Intervention Research, grounded in Activity Clinic (Clot, 2007, 2010b) as the theoretical and methodological framework. The concepts of Institutional Analysis (Lourau, 1993) and principles related to life and health (Canguilhem, 2009) also underpin this approach. The adopted method involved Conversational Rounds, along with other devices. As an invitation to the collective analysis of work activity by the workers, our research does not seek to suppress controversies but rather to use them as tools for the development of resources for action. In dialogue with the welders, beyond stories of suffering and illness, narratives emerged demonstrating potency and the creation of new ways to enhance health and life through work. Thus, the focus of this dissertation lies in formation through activity, emphasizing the importance of dialogue in collective work and the critical analysis of the reality of work. By sharing their experiences, the welders have the opportunity to analyze their work activities and, in telling their stories, contribute to preserving the memory of this profession.
The article aims to highlight the relevance and originality of the analysis by French psychiatrists Louis Le Guillant and Lucién Bonnafé, through an immanent analysis of their article, which is being translated into Portuguese for the first time, titled The Condition of the Patient in the Psychiatric Hospital. The significance of the research is emphasized as the authors reveal aspects of treatment in psychiatric institutions in France, highlighting the roles of various stakeholders: patients, professionals, managers, and society. They also link mental illness conditions with broader life conditions, arguing from the inseparability of social conditions and individual human drama to address health production. In this same movement, they uncover aspects of suffering and illness, challenging hegemonic conceptions in the field, such as theories about madness and its origins, moving beyond mythical notions. The authors do not deny the clinical dimension of mental illness but, at the same time, do not confine themselves to psychiatric nosology. They provide resources for ongoing debates that point to the need for transformation not only in health treatment conditions but also in living conditions and social relations.
The condition of the patient in the psychiatric hospital
Unpublished translation into Portuguese of the article La condition du malade à l’hôpital psychiatrique, published in a special issue of the French magazine Esprit, number 197, volume 12, December 1952. In this edition, the magazine dedicated a special issue titled Misère de la psychiatrie, focusing on the emerging debate on psychiatric reform. On that occasion, French psychiatrists Louis Le Guillant and Lucién Bonnafé, authors who were still little known in Brazil and, to some extent, also in France, presented a rigorous analysis of the condition of patients in French psychiatric hospitals at the time. However, more than just examining the reality of these institutions, the authors demonstrated how understanding mental illness and its forms of treatment must necessarily be linked to the broader consideration of social living conditions and the need to transform them. They therefore offered a quite original and still relevant contribution to addressing contemporary dilemmas.
Academic production on education in the work of Karl Marx
Este artigo analisa a produção acadêmica sobre as concepções educacionais na obra de Karl Marx, buscando compreender como suas ideias têm sido interpretadas e discutidas no contexto brasileiro. Para isso, foi realizado um Balanço de Produções Acadêmicas, utilizando a metodologia proposta por Evangelista e Shiroma (2019b). A partir de uma busca na Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD), foram selecionadas 23 produções, publicadas entre os anos de 1990 e 2022, que estudaram a educação na obra de Marx. Primeiro foi realizada uma análise quantitativa, abordando data, instituição, região do país e principais referências bibliográficas das produções selecionadas. Posteriormente, uma análise qualitativa a partir de dois eixos: metodologia e abordagem dos principais temas do pensamento marxiano sobre a educação. Para a análise qualitativa das produções selecionadas, utilizamos como referencial teórico os trabalhos de Manacorda (2007c), Nogueira (1993) e Lombardi (2011b) sobre a educação em Marx. As conclusões indicam que a maioria das produções não analisa diretamente os textos fundamentais de Marx sobre a educação, utilizando principalmente o pensamento marxiano como método para abordar a questão educacional. Além disso, poucas produções abordam com profundidade os temas centrais do pensamento marxiano sobre educação. O artigo conclui que é essencial o estudo dos textos em que Marx se refere diretamente ao tema para compreender as posições do autor sobre a educação.
The article presents part of an ongoing research that aims to analyze the particularities of the social relations that constitute contemporary digital platforms. To achieve this objective, the analysis adopts the lenses of the critique of political economy. Adopting a notion of labor based on its specifically capitalist social form, the article problematizes the concept of digital labor. Afterward, the article analyses some arguments from the contemporary approaches to digital platforms. Lastly, by proposing a new classification for them, the article addresses some controversies of the Marxist debate on the social relations involved in digital platforms.

The article refers to work carried out in 2020 by the General Coordination of Quality of Life, Health and Development of Servants (CGQSD) of the National Social Security Institute (INSS). It was a project aimed at social security technicians responsible for recognising Brazilian citizens’ social security rights. The programme was developed based on learning content organised into four pillars: Didactic-pedagogical, Relational, Technical and Organisational Mentoring. Individual and collective sessions were held to contribute to developing personal and organisational skills from a peer-to-peer knowledge management perspective. The programme’s pilot stage-trained 168 civil servants in 20 classes and was evaluated by all those involved in the process, using electronic questionnaires, systematisation of reports and evaluation workshops. In this context, the aim is to describe the process of creating the Programme, the underlying political-pedagogical idea, its stages and methodological proposals, characterising the participating public, the strategic objectives of this educational action and the results achieved. The findings of this investigation reveal how important the Programme has been for the training of civil servants in the Brazilian federal public administration, particularly in the INSS, and reveal its acceptability among the subjects participating in this action.
The precarious work and life of physical education teachers in bodybuilding academies in João Pessoa-PB
The present study discussed the precariousness of work and life of Physical Education teachers working in weight rooms in gyms in João Pessoa, PB. Thus, it analyzed the reality of working conditions based on the study of common precarious situations within the capitalist production model in which we live. Twelve teachers working in gyms across different regions of the aforementioned city participated in the research. As a result, we found the existence of a precarious scenario for the performance of Physical Education teachers in weight rooms and, in the end, we highlighted the need for a collective reconstruction of class consciousness, as it is necessary to create the subjective conditions to overcome the obstacles that limit the possibility of transcending alienation.
CONTRIBUTION OF KNOWLEDGE IN WORKER'S HEALTH IN PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION
The general objective of this research was to analyze the relationship between work and education that affect workers’ health, and to identify whether the theme of workers’ health (WS) is part of the training of integrated high school students at the Federal Institute of Brasília (IFB) - Brasilia Campus. The research methodology consisted of a bibliographical review on the topic and documentary analysis of the course plans for integrated high school courses offered by IFB-Campus Brasília. Under a qualitative nature, we sought to estimate and understand the issues in the world of work that affect workers’ health. It was realized that the study of TS in school education could contribute to comprehensive training, by bringing the world of work and education closer together. From the documentary analysis, it was observed the existence of content in the curricular components of the course plans that can be related to worker health and safety, despite being scarce. Finally, despite recognizing the importance of knowledge in worker health, we defend It is necessary to go beyond understanding just relating to curricular content and technical factors inherent to work activities, making it necessary to advance in interdisciplinarity, aiming to expand the critical vision of this worker.

The relationship between the quality of training services and job satisfaction of education servants
The objective of this research was to evaluate the quality of training and qualification services offered by a public institution by comparing the expectations and experiences of the client, who is an administrative technician in education, and their relationship with satisfaction in the work environment and quality of life at work. The research is exploratory and descriptive in nature, and quantitative and qualitative methods were used. To evaluate the effectiveness of the training program at the Instituto Federal do Pará – Campus Avançado Vigia, the site of this research, the SERVQUAL model was used, which aims to measure the quality of the service based on the difference between the perceptions of the clients about the service provided and their expectations. It is a questionnaire composed of 22 questions that encompass 5 dimensions of quality, dimensions selected from bibliographical surveys, indicated as relevant for this study. The SERVQUAL model proved to be effective in evaluating the quality of the service and in identifying gaps that need to be addressed to improve the organization's performance. The relationship between perceived quality and satisfaction in the work environment was analyzed using the QWLQ-bref questionnaire, which assesses four domains of quality of work life (QWL). It consists of 20 questions, which makes the research faster. The results revealed a positive correlation between the dimensions of quality of the training service and the domains of QWL, corroborating the studies carried out and indicated in this research. The gaps between expectations and results related to the quality of the training service were also confirmed. As a suggestion for future research, it is suggested that the questionnaires be applied to other units of the federal public sphere with the aim of promoting generalization and reducing biases
The Construction process of the permanence of student workers
The aim of this article is to present and discuss four social markers that make up the construction of the permanence of working students enrolled in night school, technical and higher education: age, city of residence, type of employment relationship, and remuneration. From the data of a survey, two statistical techniques were used to support the analysis: the chi-square test and the correspondence analysis. The results indicated associations between variables that revealed non-linear conditioning to which student workers are submitted and that constitute the daily production of student permanence. We conclude that knowledge about these associations can support and guide the elaboration of institutional policies for permanence in its broadest sense.
Work and formation of subjectivity in industry 4.0
The article analyzes, through a literature review, scientific productions that discuss the relationship between work, education and the formation of subjectivity in the context of Industry 4.0. Based on dialectical historical materialism, the objective was to analyze the aspects of the industrial pedagogical project of the so-called Industry 4.0, seeking to understand the treatment given to the formation of workers' subjectivity. The analysis concludes that the advent of the Industry 4.0 program implies the renewal of class conflict mediation mechanisms in the educational field from the perspective of flexible models of productive organization characterizing a permanent productive restructuring. It is also identified that this pedagogical project ratifies the pragmatic, immediate and interested character of human formation of the new pedagogical configurations typical of Industry 4.0 through new devices for the subjective mobilization of workers.
The platypus that gave birth to an Abaporu
In a scenario of disindustrial growth and repression of the Brazilian economy, graduates of education have been faced with a job market perspective disconnected with the increase in education. The result of a social aberration imprinted by the ruling class that produced misery to use it, education is seen as an instrument to form labor power in its terms, more strength than cognition. In this sense, the objective of this research was to establish a relationship between labor occupations to the Brazilian economy and the place of education as a trainer of the workforce. Therefore, an inductive analysis of economic data, occupations and education was carried out, anchored in a theoretical framework that explores the interconnection between education and work. The criteria were systematized through convergent and divergent categories, which contributed to understand the current economic structure and the role of education. Data on employment were extracted from the Ministry of Labor and Employment, for the years 2007 and 2017, from the Brazilian Classification of Occupations. In addition, government data was used, among other sources with data treated. For the handling of educational data, sources of the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira and others that have refined statistical data were used. As a result, we have an economy of low technological activity that demands occupations and training on the same terms.
This paper aims at discussing the challenges and possibilities of response that science, education, and especially teaching have in capitalist society. Hence, it is analyzed the current teachers training process. The paper, which is a theoretical and bibliographic study, it is based on the legacy of classical Marxism. Throughout the discussion, the gnoseological method, hegemonic in the academy these days, it is opposed to the dialectical materialist method, which seeks the revolution of society. To conclude, the paper validates the method developed by Marx and Engels as the one capable of analyzing the object in an immanent way, as well as attributing to the objectivity and subjectivity the purposes that fit them in this process. It is from this understanding that it is possible to correctly reflect about the role that the educational sphere and its attributions have regarding the social totality, of which it is an autonomous and dependent component at the same time.
The Clinic of Activity and the criteria of well-done work
The article presents a case from an intervention in the clinic of activity. The collective analysis of the activity culminates in the construction of a generic rule regarding the criteria for well-done work. This rule enables the achievement of quality in health monitoring while simultaneously reducing the wear and tear on professionals performing the activity. We present the dialogues produced during the intervention, the linguistic analysis of the excerpts, and their discussion based on the theory of the clinic of activity. The study shows how the collective analysis of work activity enables the development of professional agency.
Affirmative action policies in Community higher education instittions:
This article was developed based on master’s research in development. Its objective was to analyze, through a literature review, the state of the art on the implementation of affirmative action policies in Community Higher Education Institutions – ICES. ICES, as they have a legal constitution under private law, are not subject to the same requirements as public higher education institutions and for this reason we sought to verify how much the theme of affirmative actions has been studied within this category of institutions, as a way of confronting institutional and structural racism present in contemporary Brazilian society. The bibliographic review was carried out based on an integrative research on the CAPES theses and dissertations portal for the period from 2019 to 2023. As a result, there was a lack of research on the adoption of affirmative actions in the context of educational institutions community higher education institutions, since the results found are mostly aimed at public institutions, which are obliged to adapt to legislation that deals with the democratization of access to higher education and the plurality of their teaching and technical- administrative staff. It is concluded that the ICES scenario and its relationship with affirmative action policies deserves attention and study, especially so that such policies are not restricted to the public higher education scenario.
The genesis of the is-ought and value from the teleological essence of labor
This paper aims to demonstrate the considerations of the Hungarian philosopher Gÿorgy Luckács, mainly from his work Ontology of Social Being, about the teleological position of labour, from which the ontological genesis of the is-ought of the end occurs. It also seeks to demonstrate the social character of values and their importance in the development of human generativity. In this articulation, the fundamental role of teleological positions in the social life of men is highlighted. These occur both in labour, the so-called primary teleologies, and in the social complexes that derive from it, the so-called secondary teleologies. For Luckács, it is on the basis of these teleological positions that the is-ought of the end is established, which in turn is guided by values, both of which are constitutive parts of the social life of men and are therefore equally historical and social.
Self-intensification and the ideology of care
The aim of this article is to present the research results conducted within the scope of the Master's in Education program, which aimed to investigate the perception of teachers in the São Paulo state educational system regarding the intensity of their work. The theoretical framework was based on the concept of work intensity established by Dal Rosso (2008, 2015) and the debate on the intensification and intensity of teaching work conducted by Apple (1995) and Hypolito, Vieira, and Pizzi (2009), as well as discussions on teaching and gender by Carvalho (1999) and Chamon (2005). The field research employed the focus group technique. The results, in turn, indicate that teachers' perception of high work intensity is attributed primarily to the extension of working hours, the blurring of boundaries between work and non-work times, and the high emotional demand required. Finally, the dataset allowed for the identification of the presence of a self-intensification process of work among the literacy teachers.

The well-being of teachers is fundamental to the quality of education. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of exhaustion and the level of engagement among K-12 teachers in public and private schools in Passo Fundo, RS, Brazil, seeking to identify the factors associated with these variables. The specific objectives were to investigate which group of teachers (public or private) exhibits higher levels of occupational well-being and to identify the socio-professional factors associated with burnout and well-being in these individuals. Using the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale on a sample of 980 teachers, the results indicated higher levels of exhaustion and cynicism among teachers in public schools, which were associated with precarious working conditions. On the other hand, teachers in the private sector showed higher levels of engagement associated with better working conditions. Age and seniority were found to be protective factors, while excessive workload was associated with exhaustion. The results underline the urgent need for public policies that value the teaching profession, promote better working conditions and ensure the health and well-being of teachers.
The Telework Policy in Federal Educational Institutions in the South and Southeast Regions
The COVID-19 pandemic drove the widespread adoption of telework, particularly in the Brazilian federal public sector, with 70.73% of federal institutions adopting this modality by December 2023. This study analyzes the evolution of telework regulations in the Federal Network of Professional and Technological Education, focusing on institutions in the South and Southeast Regions through a comparative analysis of policies. Using a descriptive approach and documentary research, the study examines telework regulations in fifteen institutions, tracing the historical trajectory that culminated in the Management and Performance Program. Furthermore, it explores the structure of institutional policies concerning the elements outlined by Decree No. 11072/2022, while comparing key aspects of the resolutions. The results highlight the need for regulations to view telework not only as a productivity tool but also as an opportunity to improve the quality of life of employees. To this end, it is essential to include provisions that promote health, well-being, and the training of employees for this modality, which inherently involves isolation and reduced social interaction.
