Apropriação e uso de dados educacionais pela E.E. Dona Raimunda Duque: dificuldades e possíveis sugestões para implementação da cultura do uso de dados

Abstract

This dissertation analyzed the challenges in the process of appropriation and use of educational data by Dona Raimunda Duque State School (EEDRD), located in eastern Minas Gerais, Brazil. The case study demonstrates the institution's lack of data utilization, based on analyzed school documents, stagnant educational indicators, and evidence found in interviews with school specialists and a focus group conducted with teachers. The research question is: “What are the challenges in the process of appropriating and using educational data in this institution?” The main objective was to analyze how the school’s management team and teaching staff could appropriate educational data to improve pedagogical management practices. The specific objectives were: I) to describe the pedagogical management strategies related to the appropriation of educational data implemented by the institution; II) to analyze, through school records, performance results, and interviews conducted with specialists and teachers, the difficulties in using educational data produced by the school; and III) to propose an educational action plan (PAE) that contributes to the incorporation of educational data use into the management practices at EEDRD. One theoretical framework involves pedagogical management for data use, based on Boudett, City, and Murnane (2020) through the Data Wise process, in dialogue with Libâneo (1994, 2001, 2007), Leal (2005), Fusari (1990), Lück (2007), Costa and Vidal (2020), Luz and Mello (2015), Santos and Santos (2010), Saviani (1985), and Freire (1996, 2012). The second theoretical framework, school management, was developed based on Lück (2009), Costa and Vidal (2020), Soares (2005), Brooke (2006), Oliveira and VasquesMenezes (2018), and Paro (2010). The findings highlighted the need for EEDRD to create spaces for collective planning during Module II hours, as well as to raise awareness among students and their guardians about the external assessments in which the school participates. Thus, the PAE proposes teacher training and additional actions to foster a data-use culture within the school.
