The present dissertation investigates the performance of a pedagogical coordinator of childhood education in the organization of the social environment for the education of teachers. This is a case study, from a qualitative perspective, based on historical-cultural theory, mainly in Vygotsky's ideas. According to this theoretical perspective, the educational process presents three fundamental elements: the teacher, the student and the educational social environment. Although each element performs a specific function in the process, the three together form a dialectical unity and are thus inseparable. The teacher plays an active role in guiding and / or organizing student activities. This, in turn, assumes an active role for the importance of his personal activity. The educational social environment that surrounds them is also active, because it is in them that the social experiences of both the teacher and the student are intentionally processed. Starting from this idea of Vygotsky, we come to interpret the role of the pedagogical coordinator as the organizer of the educational social environment for the continuous formation of the teachers, since he is an education professional whose main assignment is to train the teacher in service and follow the pedagogical work carried out by him. In this sense, this research had as objective to investigate how a pedagogical coordinator of a school of the childhood of the municipality of Ananindeua-PA organizes the social educational environment for the continuous formation of the teachers of the infantile education and what the intention of this formation. The study was divided into two stages. The first stage consisted in characterizing the historical-cultural context of the research coordinator in order to understand what has contributed to her constitution as a pedagogical coordinator of a kindergarten. At this stage, the information was collected through semi-structured interviews with a representative of the Division of Early Childhood Education (DEI), linked to the Municipal Education Secretariat (SEMED), a manager of the Municipal Reference Center for Early Childhood Education (CMREI) "Gunnar Vingren" and the said pedagogical coordinator. The second stage consisted of research on how the coordinator organizes the social educational environment for the continuing education of the nursery school teachers and what their intention is with this organization. At this stage, the information was collected through semi-structured interviews, observation guides and notes in the field book of the activities developed by the coordinator. The results showed that their initial formation left serious theoretical inconsistencies, which have not yet been softened and / or overcome by the continuing formations they have participated in, which has led them to seek training on their own, but without a theoretical orientation. Nevertheless, the coordinator demonstrates her concern about the quality of the training of the teachers of the child school and undertakes to organize the educational social environment so that they form a knowledge about the child's development and the organization of the pedagogical work, involving aspects such as organization of curriculum, planning, activities, spaces, times, materials and support to families to accompany children in their activities. The study suggests that the agencies of the municipality of Ananindeua-PA, responsible for the training of nursery teachers, act in a more intense, systematic and coherent way, promoting moments of continuous formation specifically directed to pedagogical coordinators, using the pedagogical proposal of the municipality, which is in the process of updating and which is based on a theoretical approach capable of promoting the development of a better organization of the social educational environment for the training of the children's education teachers of said municipal school system.
