The ‘Second Teacher’ in elementary education: a look at legislation and academic research
Abstract
The guarantee of access to all citizens between 4 (four) and 17 (seventeen) years, to Basic Education and the universalization of admission to the regular school, makes possible the emergence of a profession aimed at the attention of the public of Special Education, in the regular school: the Second Teacher. From a qualitative approach, based on bibliographical and documentary research, this study aimed to characterize the Second Teacher in the educational policies that regulate Basic Education, in the State of Santa Catarina, as well as academic research that take it as an object of research. In this way, he sought to know the educational policies which regulate this profession; understand their attributions in Basic Education; characterize the public served by this professional, and; describe its profile, based on the bases already produced. The results show that it is not possible to accurately characterize the profile of the Second Professor, because it is not mentioned in national legislation with this nomenclature; pedagogical practice is often individualized and the profession is marked by instability.
