Abstract

The present dissertation, developed in the professional postgraduate program in evaluation management of public education, analyzes the intraschool factors that interfere in the performance in mathematics of the students of the third grade of the State School of Ladainha, located in the city of Ladainha / Minas Gerais, an institution that has been performing poorly in external evaluations at the national and state levels. To understand such difficulties, we take as a problem the following question: to understand such difficulties, we take as a problem the following question: what internal factors have determined the failure in mathematics of the state school of Ladainha in external evaluations? Based on this questioning, the present study sought to analyze the possible elements that have been causing the low performance of the school, concentrating on school organization / management, the training and pedagogical practices of teachers and the school climate that may have influenced the situation. The field research, of qualitative character, used as instruments the documentary analysis, the observation, the interviews with the pedagogical team and teachers and the questionnaires with the students of the third grade of high school. The data obtained with these instruments were analyzed from the theoretical framework brought in the studies of Candian and Rezende (2012,2013), Franco and Bonamino (2005, 2007), as well as other authors that address the escolar efficacy. Field research has pointed out that the monitoring work developed by the pedagogical team needs to be improved; that some of the projects developed by the school can contribute to the improvement of its performance; that the good school climate may be a better explored factor. The propositional chapter consists of actions to improve the practices of the current management, regarding the monitoring and access of pedagogical practices applied to the actors of the school, guaranteeing improvements in the performance of the students of the State School of Ladainha.
