This work aims to identify the conception of full-time education for the initial years of elementary school from the teaching perspective, in the city of Recife. In Brazil's socio-historical path, there have been attempts to implement full-time education, the idea is to expand the school day to offer comprehensive education, in the perspective of quality times and spaces. In Brazil, there have been some attempts, but this policy has not yet been implemented. In essence, in these proposals, there are two ideas of full-time education: one that intends to strengthen the institution and another that aims at offering diversified activities to students; in Brazil, the second model is more present. In this environment there is the presence of the teacher, who acts directly in the construction of this policy, giving new meaning and meaning to this policy. As a theoretical reference we work with Avelar (2016); Ball (2006a); Ball (2006b); Mainardes (2006); Mainardes (2017); Mainardes and Marcondes (2009); Hostins and Rochadel (2019); Rodrigues et al. (2015). In the methodology, we opted for the Case Study approach, because we understand that the municipality of Recife has a full-time policy for elementary education, in this work we made a cut for the initial years. We will carry out interviews with: part of the team from the municipal education department, directly involved with the management of integral education and elementary education, in order to understand the conception of the full-time policy for the initial years of elementary education; interviews with managers and teachers of full-time schools. For data analysis, we will use Discursive Textual Analysis - ATD (Moraes & Galiazzi, 2006), as we understand that politics produces wills for truth and teachers can produce new meanings for such a policy.
