Abstract

The present dissertation was developed in the Professional Master's degree in Education Management and Assessment (PPGP – Professional postgraduation program) of the Center for Public Policy and Assessment in Education of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd/UFJF). The academic work sought to investigate the work routine of the School Inspector in the state schools of the Regional Board of Education – Metropolitan C, in order to improve the performance of the employee considering, systematic, the pedagogical scope of the educational management. The hypothesis assumed by the researcher is that the excessive demand of the administrative work hinders the development of the activities in the pedagogical area. The School Inspector monitors the regularities of the school and in the state education network he advises the educational management in three aspects: administrative, financial and pedagogical. This situation-problem was revealed through observation as a school inspector since 2002, as well as acquired evidence due to exploratory research with the school inspectors, analysis of the term of visits, service orders and, finally, survey reports determined in the years 2016 and 2017. The data analysis was developed based on the current law and on the theoretical references such as Luck (1997; 2009), Libâneo (2001; 2009), Cury (2014), Gadotti (2013), Cavalcante, Carneiro and Silva (2012), Frigotto and Ciavatta (2003), Coll et al (1998), Gomes (2005), Portela, Luck and Gouvea (2006), Ferreira (2008), Gelatti and Marquezan (2013), Ferreira (2017a; 2017b), Augusto (2010), Rodrigues (2011), Abreu (2012), Mainardes (2006) and Terigi (2010). The defined aims for this paper are: to describe the responsibilities of the school inspector according to the current law, to present the work demands in order to show the emptying of pedagogical actions, to analyze the issues that prevent the pedagogical scope in the state school being held as the fundamental assignment of this professional and to suggest actions so that the School Inspector can systematize actions in the pedagogical area in order to broaden the contribution spectrum to public schools reorganizing their work routine. The guiding principles of this research have as their themes: the aspects of educational management, the pedagogical scope as to advance an education of social quality, and the importance of the work of the inspector in the pedagogical area. The methodology of this dissertation is the investigation of a management case by applying a survey to the school inspectors and a semi-structured interview with the regional director as its research instruments. It was identified from the collected data difficulties in the work routine of the school inspector. In this dissertation conclusion an Educational Action Plan (PAE) was proposed, which was drafted from three instances: school, school inspection service and regional. They demonstrate that the work of the inspector goes beyond the integration of several roles in education and their areas of work.
