Abstract
This article aims to understand the relationship between what is prescribed in Brazilian legislation for the development of work in the Multifunctional Resource Rooms (SRMs) and the real work of the municipal education network of a city in the northeast of Brazil, and show how these teachers subjectively mobilize in view of the conditions and organization of work imposed on them. The Multifunctional Resource Rooms (SRMs) are established spaces in Brazilian public schools to comply with the universal right to education to those with disabilities, global developmental disorders, high skills, or gifts by the Specialized Educational Assistance (SEA). It’s a recent service and barely known nationally, and that is why it is permeated by nuances and challenges that only the acting teachers can externalize. The search adopted the Psychodynamics of Work as a theoretical-methodological framework and institutional visits and collective discussion meetings as method of data collection. We visited eight SRMs during the observational stage and four teachers participated in the collective discussion meetings. The results showed that the teachers make do to account for the gap between the prescribed and the actual work of SEA. They confront the embarrassment and the overload related to the work organization that keep them in constant pathological and creative suffering for them to show themselves as active in schools. The work of these teachers is tied to a worsening psychic condition leading some to request to leave the SEA.
