The starting point of the present study lies in
the principle that addressing education means discussing
teaching work. Education is considered as a fundamental
human right and it is contemplated in national
and international legislations. It is marked by the distance
between the instituted right and the effective right.
For guaranteeing the implementation of the social right
to education, it is necessary to consider teachers’ work,
since he/she is one of the main educational agents.
Thus, our study is devoted to the issue of teaching work,
emphasizing teachers’ discomfort. Results show that the
factors that generate teachers’ discomfort are divided
into three categories according to their occurrence: high,
medium, and low frequency. High-frequency factors
include social discredit and low wages. As regards the
factors found to occur with medium frequency, scarcity
of resources and child neglect by family members are
evidenced. Among the factors that arose less frequently,
learning problems, self-blame, and lack of autonomy
can be emphasized. It was observed that these elements
bring about many implications for teaching work.
Even though teachers’ discomfort is a recurring topic
among educational research analyses, it is still present
in teachers’ daily work.
