SANTOS, Patrícia Irene  and  MACHADO, Laêda Bezerra. Teachers readapted in public schools: illness and prospects for returning to the classroom. Educ. Form. [online]. 2024, vol.9, e12619.  Epub Aug 29, 2024. ISSN 2448-3583.  https://doi.org/10.25053/redufor.v9.e12619.

This article aims to characterize public basic education teachers in Recife and other municipalities in the metropolitan region undergoing functional readaptation, indicating the pathologies that most affect them, as well as their prospects for returning to the classroom. The research is based on studies on illness and teacher malaise. We carried out a survey of 31 professionals, who responded to a mixed questionnaire. The responses were organized and analyzed with the support of Atlas.ti software. The results revealed that teacher illness is a reality and implies functional readaptation. The pathologies that keep teachers away from the classroom the most are emotional. Most of these professionals do not expect to return to the classroom due to their limited health conditions linked to the process of professional devaluation. The findings suggest that the quality of teaching work requires investments in working conditions, recognition and appreciation.

Keywords : readaptation; teachers; illness.
