O MAGISTÉRIO ENQUANTO SACERDÓCIO? A SUPEREXPLORAÇÃO E A PRECARIZAÇÃO DO TRABALHO DOCENTE

Abstract

This paper put in doubt the equivalence between teaching and priesthood. Despite being recurrent, in the current phase of the capitalist mode of production, it is argued that this idea contributes to the super-exploitation and precariousness of teaching work. The main objective is to relate teaching, priesthood, exploitation and the deterioration of teachers working conditions. Therefore, conducted a systematic literature review combined with the hypothetical-deductive method is used, this is a descriptive and exploratory theoretical research developed through the reading and analysis of specialized books, scientific papers, master dissertations, and current legislation on the subject, forming a diverse bibliography. With the exception of the introduction, conclusion, and list of references, this paper is structured in three successive sections: first, demonstrated the initial misconceptions in the relationship between teaching work and the priesthood; subsequently, super-exploitation and precarious employment are listed as some of the effects of economic neoliberalism in teaching work; finally, suggests the critical theories, especially historical-critical pedagogy, as an attempt to overcome. The results suggest that the association between teaching and priesthood contributes to the overexploitation and precariousness of teaching work.
