Resumo: | Background and Aim: In Portugal, as in most countries of the world, we are experiencing severe social inequalities, phenomena of social exclusion and poverty, increased unemployment, and lack of opportunities, situations that have been aggravated by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Thus, the main objective of the study was to identify the perceptions of social educators working in the Algarve about the impacts of the pandemic on their professional lives. The specific objectives were to make a sociodemographic characterization of the social educators, to identify the main difficulties that they experienced in a professional context during the pandemic, to identify their coping strategies, and to know their opinion about respect for human rights. Method: This is an exploratory and descriptive study with a qualitative approach. The sample was by convenience and included 32 social educators. Data collection was carried out through questionnaire surveys, completed on Google Forms, consisting of mostly open questions. The answers were subjected to content analysis. Results: The results allowed us to identify the difficulties experienced by social educators in a professional context, namely the difficulty in managing human resources, given the lack of people, and also the difficulty in maintaining social distance. Most respondents consider that human rights have been neglected both in their workplace and in society. Conclusions: It is thought that it will be a complex and busy future for social educators and all the people involved in the processes of decision-making, implementation, and evaluation of activities and projects, as a way to overcome the designs left by the COVID-19 pandemic. |

Deste modo, o objetivo principal do estudo foi conhecer as perceções dos educadores sociais, a trabalhar no Algarve, acerca dos impactos da pandemia na sua vida profissional. Como objetivos específicos pretendia-se fazer uma caracterização sociodemográfica dos educadores sociais; conhecer as principais dificuldades que sentiram em contexto profissional durante a pandemia; identificar as suas estratégias de superação bem como conhecer a sua opinião acerca do respeito pelos direitos humanos. Método: É um estudo de natureza exploratória e descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa. A amostra foi por conveniência, e abrangeu 32 educadores sociais. A recolha de dados foi realizada através de inquéritos por questionário, preenchidos no Google Forms, constituídos por questões maioritariamente abertas. As respostas foram sujeitas a análise de conteúdo. Resultados: Os resultados permitiram identificar as dificuldades sentidas pelos educadores sociais em contexto profissional, nomeadamente a dificuldade na gestão dos recursos humanos, dada a falta de pessoas e também a dificuldade em manter o distanciamento social. A maioria dos respondentes considera que os direitos humanos foram negligenciados quer no seu local de trabalho quer na sociedade. Conclusões: Pensa-se que será um futuro complexo e de muito trabalho para os educadores sociais e para todas as pessoas envolvidas nos processos de tomada de decisão, implementação e avaliação de atividades e projetos, como forma de ultrapassar os desígnios deixados pela pandemia da COVID-19.Departamento de Investigação & Desenvolvimento do Instituto Superior Miguel Torga2022-10-19info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdftext/htmltext/xmlhttps://doi.org/10.31211/rpics.2022.8.2.268https://doi.org/10.31211/rpics.2022.8.2.268Portuguese Journal of Behavioral and Social Research; Vol. 8 No. 2 (2022): November; 1–14Revista Portuguesa de Investigação Comportamental e Social; Vol. 8 N.º 2 (2022): Novembro; 1–142183-4938reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/268https://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/268/520https://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/268/537https://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/268/521Direitos de Autor (c) 2022 Cláudia Luisa (Autor)http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLuisa, Cláudia2023-06-01T22:00:13Zoai:ojs.rpics.ismt.pt:article/268Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:39:49.178372Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
