Caso de gestão do Colégio Paz: as ações desenvolvidas para a apropriação dos resultados do IDEB 2011

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Peace School, a public school localized in the state of Rio de Janeiro, which obtained an excellent average on IDEB (an evaluation applied to all the students from public schools in Brazil that checks the development on basic education), in 2011. The main purpose is to understand how it is performed the teaching-learning process in school, and how the school management – carried by a single person – effectively leads the activities. The curiosity is especially on the school strategies in relation to the results appropriation of the external evaluations, in particular of SAERJ, Saerjinho, Prova Brasil and SAEB. The theme was due primarily to the fact that, as a school manager, the researcher also seeks for good educational outcomes. Thus, this study was conducted through field research, direct observation, questionnaires, interviews and document analysis in order to answer the guiding questions, using as theoretical mainly studies by Lück (1991, 2000, 2009), Polon (2011) and Burgos, et al. (2011). Thereby, it was found that the director performs multiple tasks at the school, with the teacher’s participation, but there is not a manager committee, which prevents a management effectively democratic. In this sense, we propose some actions that aim to optimize the management from the school. These actions are part of the Educational Action Plan (PAE), that after detecting some gaps in the school, proposes three main actions: (i) the creation of a Peel Board; (ii) the restructuring of the School Club (produced by the students) and (iii) the restructuring and the expansion on the staff of this school with SEEDUC (Secretariat of State on Education).
