Abstract

The present dissertation was developed under the Professional Master’s Course in Management and Evaluation of Education (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policies and Education Evaluation of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd / UFJF). The management case presented discusses the fulfillment of the goal established by the Learning Program in the Right Age (hereafter PAIC), linked to the policy of continuing education of Portuguese Language teachers of the 5th grade, developed by the Municipal Secretary of Education (SME) of Acaraú. The general objective of the study was to understand to what extent the target for continuing education of the group in question is being developed and fulfilled by the municipality. As specific objectives, necessary for the understanding of this question, we have: the analysis of the actions carried out by the MAIS PAIC, with regard to the continuing education of Portuguese Language teachers, of the 5th year of Elementary Education; the study of educational indicators of the municipality, even knowing that continuing teacher education is not the only factor that interferes with the results, but also aware that qualified training is a possibility for changes in the teaching and learning process and believing that the results of external evaluations can be important indicators of the research scenario; and also the proposal of new actions that may strengthen the work already developed by the SME team, regarding the continuous training of these teachers. A qualitative research was carried out, more precisely a case study, which was accompanied by a training meeting for Portuguese Language teachers of the 5th year promoted by SME. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the MAIS PAIC Municipal Manager and with the municipal trainer responsible for the meetings and a questionnaire was applied with the participating group of Portuguese Language Teachers of the 5th grade. After analyzing the data, it was verified that, despite the progress made in the teachers' continuing education, some actions are still needed by the SME regarding the strengthening of this policy, since the SME does not have a plan of defined training, there is no profile of the teacher to be developed, the SME conducts training meetings with limited hours and limited periodicity and delivers a didactic routine ready for teachers. In this way, it was proposed, in the Educational Action Plan (PAE), actions to contribute to the strengthening of the goal in question and thus contribute to the educational context of the municipality of Acaraú, since we believe that the target for teacher training is an important action of the SME management in the promotion the quality of education.
