Análise das ações de formação continuada para os gestores das escolas estaduais de educação profissional do estado do Ceará

Abstract

The present essay seeks to analyze the extent to which the trainings given to principals of State Professional Schools by Ceará Board of Education - SEDUC are enough to fulfill the demands of the collegiate. It also seeks to propose contributions on better trainings. The research used a qualitative methodology. A questionaire was applied to 103 school principals with both multiple choice and discursive questions. A case study was performed with the principals of a hundred and three schools among the ones founded from 2008 through 2014. It was also used bibliographic research and documental analyses. The present study discusses the works of Luck (1997, 2000, 2001, 2006, 2009, 2012), Mintzberg (2010), Machado (2010), Pacheco et al (2005), Polon (2005), among others, such authors have contributed in the field of school management focusing in the need of continuous training of the management staff. As a result, it was found that the discussed trainings have been extremely important for knowledge management acquisition among school managers, although not enough to supplement the real need. Such problems are due to the small number of vacancies in some training events and also because according to the managers consulted some basic necessities are not supplemented during the events. The previous results point to the need of constant school managers’ training.
