A utilização do SIGE Escola e da Sala de Situação no processo de apropriação de dados pelas equipes gestoras das escolas da Crede 14 no Ceará

Abstract

This work was developed within the scope of the Professional Master in Management and Evaluation of Public Education (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policy and Education (CAEd) of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF). The main purpose of this management case was to examine how the management teams of CREDE 14 schools can appropriate the data provided by the SIGE Escola and Sala de Situação, especially regarding to the students’ performance and class attendance, to make data-driven decisions. The methodologies used throughout the research were: the case study; the work with official documents and information provided by SEDUC, CREDE 14 and schools; the bibliographic research on the thematic axes explored in this work; the holding of focus groups with some members of the school management teams; and the application of an electronic questionnaire to all school managers. The results of the conducted analyzes showed that the management teams need more precise guidance to use those Educational Management Information Systems and to appropriate the data available in them to make decisions. On the data, weaknesses were pointed out in the systems that question their reliability. It was also noticed that in most of the Political-Pedagogical Projects (PPP) of CREDE 14 schools there are no roadmaps with actions to be taken in relation to student performance and attendance, and that the involvement of members of the school community in decision-making is still fragile. Given this scenario and in order to strengthen a data-driven decision-making culture within schools, an Educational Action Plan (EAP) was built, which presents to management teams: two reflexive action scripts with guidelines for schools to appropriate data on students’ performance and class attendance provided by information systems, especially the Sala de Situação, helping them in the decision-making; and four complementary scripts focusing on the strategic organization of the school for registration and data collection, in the training of managers and teachers to use Educational Management Information Systems; and the orientation of these agents to Data-Driven Decision Making.
