Resumo: | The objective of this article is to present a synthesis of the research carried out during our Master program, which was entitled "The construction of the identity of the social educator in his daily practice: the plurality of a singular subject" [A construção de identidade do educador social na sua prática cotidiana: a pluralidade de um sujeito singular]. The study attempted to understand the features of the identity that the social educator of university-level education has been building in his/her daily practice in the city of São Paulo. The methodology developed for this study included an instrument created by the researcher, and filled out between March and September 2006 by fifteen social educators from different areas of formation: Psychology, Social Service, and Pedagogy. It was then possible to assess the socioeconomic profile of these educators, complementing this information with qualitative aspects of their daily practice gathered from semi-directed questions and two letters aimed at stimulating their free expression. The analysis relied on the framework of Cultural-Historical Psychology and on the dialogue with authors from Sociology, Pedagogy and Social Service. The results analyzed pointed to devaluation, feeling of impotence, and resignation as defining features of this identity under construction. The precariousness of the conditions for the development of their work, and the lack of continuity (especially of the Programs of Social Assistance) give support to the complaint expressed in their discourse. Also noticeable was the mention to the need for improvement of their formation (specialization, qualification etc), leading us to reflect on the professionalization of these educators. The university appeared then as a dynamic field for reflection, discussion, receptiveness, and construction of specific knowledges, conducive of a re-signification of the work developed. This, we believe, would contradict the "missionary" character of this practice as one of the alibis for the lack of hope. |

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma síntese da pesquisa de mestrado A construção de identidade do educador social na sua prática cotidiana: a pluralidade de um sujeito singular, na qual se buscou conhecer características da identidade que o educador social, de nível universitário, da cidade de São Paulo, vem construindo na sua prática cotidiana. A metodologia desenvolvida para este estudo constou de um instrumento elaborado pelo pesquisador e preenchido, entre início de março e final de setembro de 2006, por quinze educadores sociais de áreas de formação diversas: Psicologia, Serviço Social e Pedagogia. Verificou-se, dessa maneira, o perfil socioeconômico e cultural desses educadores, complementando com aspectos qualitativos de sua prática cotidiana relatada mediante questões semidirigidas e duas cartas propiciadoras de livre expressão. Para a análise, contou-se com a Psicologia Histórico-Cultural e o diálogo com autores da Sociologia, Pedagogia e Serviço Social. Os resultados analisados apontaram a desvalorização, a impotência e a resignação como características marcantes dessa identidade em construção. A precariedade para o desenvolvimento do trabalho e a descontinuidade (principalmente dos Programas de Assistência Social) sustentam a queixa instaurada no discurso desses sujeitos. Constatou-se também certo apelo à necessidade de aprimoramento da formação (especialização, qualificação etc.), o que nos levou a pensar na profissionalização desse educador. Apontou-se, então, a universidade como campo dinâmico de reflexão, discussão, acolhimento e construção de saberes específicos e facilitadores de ressignificação do trabalho desenvolvido. Isso destituiria, assim pensamos, o caráter "missionário" dessa prática como um dos álibis da desesperança. Universidade de São Paulo.
