“It’s a juggling with several dishes at the same time!”: teaching work in public universities

Abstract:

This article presents part of the research results that aimed to analyze the conditions of teaching work in Social Work courses of public universities of Rio Grande do Norte. In this perspective, we analyze the impacts of the State counter-reform on educational policy and its expressions in the investigated context. The results show that teaching work goes in the midst of adverse conditions and work overload, submerging rest times and even moments of illness.
