Abstract

The present dissertation was developed under the Professional Master in Management and Evaluation of Public Education (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policies and Education Evaluation (CAED) of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF). The main objective of the case study was to understand the causes of non-permanence and low completion of the students enrolled in the State Continuing Education Center (CESEC X) belonging to the State Secretariat of Education of Minas Gerais between 2012 and 2017. The research of qualitative and quantitative nature was based on socioeconomic data. The documentary analysis had as main sources the archives of the school: physical and virtual. To broaden the research tools, interviews were conducted with school professionals and questionnaires to the students. With the result of the research, you can confirm that the major disorder of the institution is non-permanence. Thus, this result showed a close proximity to the theoretical reference used. In the field research were explored the extra and intraschool factors that cause non-permanence and low conclusion in the institution in focus. Among the data collected with teachers and students, they showed similar perceptions. Thus, extracurricular factors identified were: lack of time to study, tiredness, excessive work hours and distance from the home in relation to the school, and among the in-school factors, lack of teacher training and training, methodology used, didactic material inadequate, were the main indications of the problem situation reported in the research. From the analysis of the data an Educational Action Plan (SAP) was elaborated with the objective of proposing actions that are able to minimize the effects of the non permanence and low conclusion in the CESEC researched.
