Abstract

The present research, entitled “Understanding the Educational Social Skills and Sociodemographic Variables of Elementary School Teachers”, had as its general objective to know the relationship between educational social skills and the sociodemographic characteristics of teachers. Specifically, it sought to: a) Study the sociodemographic data of teachers; b) Identify the social educational skills of teachers. This is a field research with a qualitative, quantitative and descriptive and exploratory approach, carried out with 22 teachers from municipal schools working in Elementary School I and II in the city of Santarém - PA. The methodological instruments used were the Sociodemographic Questionnaire and the Interview Guide for Educational Social Skills of Teachers – RE-HSE-Pr (BOLSONI-SILVA; MARTURANO; LOUREIRO, 2018). The process of analyzing the data obtained through the sociodemographic questionnaire was carried out and presented through descriptive statistics produced in the SPSS program (version 23.0 for Windows). The data analysis of the RE-HSEPr script was coded through the instructions and interpretations of the instrument it self. The results regarding the sociodemographic profiles showed 17 female and 5 male participants, totaling 22 teachers, all with higher education, but with variation between the time of professional experience, time of work at school, working hours, area of training and with the socioeconomic level mostly above 4 thousand reais. Regarding educational social skills, males were the ones with the highest scores, with minimal differences in relation to females. In general, the teachers participating in the study have high scores related to educational social skills and high negative practices as well, indicating the need to think about strategies to work on this demand with this public. It was observed the need to introduce the theme in schools, more specifically among the public in question, in order to balance teaching practices with interpersonal relation ships between teachers and students.
