Sumario: We describe theoretical methodology elements designed to evaluate the relationships between work as an educator and pathological processes, based on research conducted in Argentina (1995-1997) and Ecuador (1996). The proposal includes breaking down the work process into its basic elements, identifying the work "object" or "client", means and tools used, describing work organization and division and, on the other hand, analyzing these relationships from the perspectives of work load, task complexity and responsibilities. We present a method that combines qualitative and quantitative aspects with participatory methods, based on workshop-style seminars, implicit methods and involvement of participants in all aspects of data collection. Two indicators are emphasized, school classification by type of risk and suffering, because of their ability to explain causal relationships and because of their value in epidemiological surveillance. When comparing the various profiles, it is evident that causality is complex and forces one to take a non-linear view of the problem that prioritizes those processes that are linked to the work object, i.e., the student, a subject who is in a formative stage, and to the context in which the work of educating takes place. Finally, we propose a method for conducting epidemiological surveillance that is based on research, implemented in schools, and emanates from worker (or union)-developed projects, and can be applied by the teachers themselves.
