O absenteísmo docente na Escola Caic Senador Carlos Jereissati-Maranguape/Ce

Abstract

One of the main issues regarding the quality of teaching concerns teacher absenteeism, which represents the absence of teachers from their workplace. Based on this assumption and in view of the identification of a high absenteeism rate of teachers in the analyzed school, the CAIC Senator Carlos Jereissati, this dissertation adopted, as its central objective, to propose measures that contribute to minimizing the causes and effects of this problem. This is an exploratory and qualitative case study. The premise was adopted that School Management can contribute to the creation of measures to minimize the causes and effects of teacher absenteeism, through activities that can work as pedagogical and motivational strategies for teachers and students. From a review of the specialized literature, interviews with school managers and the application of questionnaires to teachers and students, it was found that measures such as the strengthening and expansion of strategic and participatory management practices, the improvement of the school climate and the systematization of activities to protect teaching time can be adopted to achieve the proposed objective.
