nÃo hà / A pesquisa dirige seu foco de anÃlise para o trabalho docente na Universidade Estadual do CearÃ, com base na avaliaÃÃo das condiÃÃes de trabalho dos professores do Centro de Estudos Sociais Aplicados. Os objetivos especÃficos foram compreender as transformaÃÃes do trabalho docente no Ãmbito da âreformaâ do Estado e da universidade brasileira, compreender a polÃtica pÃblica estadual do ensino superior no Cearà e analisar a percepÃÃo dos professores do CESA acerca da condiÃÃo de trabalho na UECE. O percurso metodolÃgico foi realizado mediante pesquisa bibliogrÃfica, busca documental e investigaÃÃo empÃrica com aplicaÃÃo de questionÃrios com docentes do CESA. Verificou-se que as transformaÃÃes no mundo do trabalho repercutem sobremaneira no ensino superior e consequentemente no trabalho docente, tornando-o precÃrio. Isso tem relaÃÃo com as crises do capitalismo global, com as mudanÃas estruturais da educaÃÃo superior brasileira e com as estratÃgias realizadas pelos governos neoliberais. Seguindo as orientaÃÃes dos organismos internacionais, os governos brasileiros delegam para o setor privado responsabilidades de financiamento e fornecimento da educaÃÃo superior, por meio de estratÃgias privatizantes no setor pÃblico, ampliando o raio de aÃÃo do capital. A polÃtica educacional, arrimada nas propostas neoliberais, intensifica as privatizaÃÃes, a terceirizaÃÃo e a informalizaÃÃo, conduzindo o trabalho docente à precarizaÃÃo. O mercado de trabalho docente do ensino superior se reestruturou de forma substancial. A flexibilizaÃÃo dos regimes e contratos de trabalho se impÃs nas IES privadas e pÃblicas. à crescente a contrataÃÃo de professores substitutos, ocorre a intensificaÃÃo do trabalho nÃo somente no ambiente laboral, mas se estende tambÃm ao espaÃo familiar e pessoal; alÃm disso, nÃo hà condiÃÃes adequadas de trabalho, considerando que, na maioria das vezes, as condiÃÃes ergonÃmicas sÃo inapropriadas e os equipamentos sÃo inexistentes ou ineficazes. / The research concentrates the analysis on the faculty member work at âUniversidade Estadual do CearÃâ having as the basis the work conditions of the professors from the social study center and its applicabilites. The specif goals targeted the analyzis and understandin of the changes in the work of the faculty member considering the reformation of the State and the brasilian university and also to understand the state public policy and the teaching in the higler education system in Cearà and the analysis through the profesors perception of CESA about the work conditions at UECE. All the methodologic process was acyvired through bibliographe research, the documental research and the empiric search with the application of quizzes involuing faculty members from CESA. We verified that the transformations in the labor world has a strong impact on the hioher education system and consequently in the work of faculty members mahing it very weal. This has a oirect relation wizh the global capitalism crisis with the extauctural changes of brasilian hiohez educational system an with the estrategles applied by the neo-liberals governments following the instructions of the international institutions, the brasilian government has been delegating to the private sector the responsibilities of financing and applying the higlen education through different private estrategles in the public sector, expanding the rench of money to use. The education policy forms from the neo-liberals proposals intensifies the privatizations, the outsourcing work, the informal work, leanding the faculty work to be very weak. The faculty work area in the highen education has re-estructed in a substantial way. The flexibility of the hiring process has imposed itself in the private and publics IES. The hiring process of professors for substitution work has been increased and this forces a strong intensification of work hours not only in the environment but also affects the family and personal life furthermore there are no adequate working conditions, if we consider that, most of time the equipment and also the ergonomic conditions are inefficient and non-existent.
