Abstract

Teaching requires a great deal of the teacher and causes discomfort because many teachers work in more than one school. In addition, the requirements increase over their responsibility. So it is important to reflect on the reality of these professionals . Therefore, we investigated if the teachers have been absent from their work in day care institutions because of health problems and what are the attitudes of the Secretary of E ducation of the city of Cajazeiras/PB regarding this. We also analyze the relationship between teacher's working conditions and the effects of these conditions on their health. We describe how they perform their activities and identify the main challenges of the category. We also investigated how teachers adapt to new educational trends and their respective demands. To conduct this research, we used studies of Tardif (2009), Libâneo (2007), Codo (1999), Freire (1996), Nóvoa (1995), RCNEI BRAZIL , 1998), Soares (2008), Bauer (2 010) and Schwalm (2012), which study the subject in question and help us understanding it.
