Percepções de professores sobre saúde vocal e trabalho

Resumo

The teachers’ perception of their voice/vocal health and their jobs is important and should be focused by studies involving educators. This qualitative study involves a focus group of 20 teachers from three public elementary schools of Goiânia (GO). Four theme categories were identified: a) the perceptions about voice, b) vocal care, c) the profes- sional use of voice, and d) the teaching conditions and work organiza- tion. The voice’s role in the teaching-learning process should be better understood in order to create a culture of self-care and health among teachers and it should occur within educational practices in initial edu- cation (Bachelor’s Degree) and ongoing training. Investments should be made in the fields of Health and Education, so that issues regarding the teachers’ voice, expressiveness, care and health can be standardized in public policies and practices directed towards the improvement of pro- fessional teacher training, educational relationship, work quality.
