This article discusses about the professionals that act as pedagogical coordinators in the public schools in Maranhão. It is the result of a qualitative, bibliographic and empirical investigation carried out in 2018. Six pedagogical coordinators from the municipalities of São Luís, Rosário and Santa Inês-MA who were part of the Specialization Course in Pedagogical Coordination offered by the Federal University of Maranhão (UFMA) and aimed at professionals who work in pedagogical management teams in public schools of basic education in the state. The theoretical contribution was based from the authors such as Libâneo (2002, 2004), Placco, Almeida and Souza (2012), Paro (2010), Domingues (2009, 2014), among others. It was used as an instrument of data collection, semi-structured interviews and analysis of the registration form of the coordinators surveyed, as well as the final report of the course in Maranhão. It was found, through the results, that it is still a challenge to build a professional profile that gives more identity to this professional and guarantee a certain unit in the function of the pedagogical coordinator. At this point, concrete conditions should be created for the better qualification of these professionals and ensure the specificity of this function can be actually applied in the schools.

Palabras clave : Pedagogical coordinators; Professional profile; Basic education.
