NEVES, Mary Yale et al. Work activity on scene: research↔intervention strategies in health with women workers from a public school. Laboreal [online]. 2022, vol.18, n.2, e19585.  Epub Dec 30, 2022. ISSN 1646-5237.  https://doi.org/10.4000/laboreal.19585.

This article aims to reflect on the methodological strategies of a research↔intervention, with emphasis on the relations between health and work, developed together with women workers from a public elementary school, located in a city in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The investigative course is structured in two steps: i) conversations about the work and observations of work activities; and ii) Meetings about the Work, initially, by professional segment and, later, with the expanded group. The perspective was the construction of a continuous and permanent observatory on the connections between health and work, stimulated by an expanded community of research↔intervention - ECRI (or CAPI, in Portuguese). The main focus of the present analysis is the potential of the methodological strategies used, as well as the obstacles faced. The transformations introduced by the processes concerning research↔intervention opened a permanent field of daily negotiation, committed to better living, health and working conditions.

Keywords : method; work; health; worker’s health; schools.
