Saúde, gênero e trabalho nas escolas públicas: potencialidades e desafios de uma experiência com o dispositivo "Comunidade Ampliada de Pesquisa e Intervenção"

Abstract

The current paper analyzes the experience with the Program of Health, Gender and Labor Formation in Schools, developed in Brazil, and its methodological basis – Extended Research and Intervention Community (CAPI). It was conceived as a means to develop the ability of understanding-changing the relationships among labor, processes of subjectivation and health-illness within schools, according to the dialogue-confrontation between the scientific knowledge and the knowledge resulting from the experience of female workers in schools. The main epistemological and theoretical-methodological contributions came from “Modelo Operário Italiano (MOI)” – Italian Worker Model – and from the ergological demarche. Specifically in the city of João Pessoa (Paraíba), research professionals and female workers ventured in a changing-comprehensible action over the harming situations. Even taking under consideration the challenges that were faced, this action has shown the potential of such experiment on promoting health, on changing the labor conditions in schools and on reinforcing the female workers’ political intervention capacity.
