FREITAS, Maria de Fatima Quintal de  and  OLIVEIRA, Lygia Maria Portugal. The quality of education and the teacher about to collapse: the daily teaching experience from the perspective of social community psychology. Aletheia [online]. 2012, n.37, pp.177-196. ISSN 1413-0394.

From the perspective of Social Community Psychology, an analysis of traps / psychosocial dimensions that affect interpersonal relationships of teachers with negative byproducts practice and school-community network is proposed. We performed an exploratory research, using semi-structured questionnaires to 219 teachers from 33 municipal schools in Curitiba. The main theme of the research is directed to Education, Training and the Teacher`s Daily Life. The quantitative and qualitative analysis (with content analysis) later on generated categories of: general characterization, admission and practice; difficulties faced and resolution alternatives; difficulties perceived in the school community; prospects / future plans. The teacher`s condition is undervalued, and there is little involvement and collective solidarity and difficulties for solidary school participation. Paradoxes / challenges faced by teachers were met: fragility of daily solidarity network; fatalistic attitudes toward life and work, teaching work experienced as a solo practice in public space and that happens in the limit of psychosocial exhaustion.

Keywords : Educational practice and social community psychology; Everyday life and community education; Educational everyday and community.
