Inspeção escolar em Minas Gerais: a atuação pedagógica frente às demandas administrativas

Abstract

This dissertation was developed within the scope of the Professional Master's in Education Management and Evaluation (PPGP) from the Center for Public Policies and Education Evaluation at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd / UFJF). The management case discussed why the School Inspection within the scope of SRE Uberlândia does not emphasize, in its practices, the pedagogical issues related to the management of schools in the same way that it operates in administrative and financial matters. The guiding question - why school inspection does not act on pedagogical issues with the same emphasis as on administrative issues - had, as specific objectives, to describe aspects of the Regular and Special School Inspection activity within the scope of SRE, in pedagogical and administrative management, to analyze the dynamics of the work of the School Inspection, its organization, the difficulties presented in the execution of the professional's work plan, and, to propose instruments, techniques or work methodologies that can assist the activity of the School Inspector so that he can carry out his duties in accordance with the applicable legislation, prioritizing the pedagogical aspects that should guide all the professional's work. We assume as hypotheses the lack of a more ostensible role of the Inspection in the pedagogical management as the lack of an adequate administration of the working time and continuous training in all aspects of the management for the inspectors. We conducted a qualitative research and as instruments semi-structured questionnaires that were applied to school inspectors in office at SRE Uberlândia. We interviewed three school inspectors and the SRE manager. As an answer to the question, we conclude that there is a lack of in-service training for school inspectors and the definition of pedagogical activities to be carried out by the team of inspectors, since the vision of school inspection, within the scope of the SRE, is that of school inspection based on guidance. The Educational Action Plan was elaborated with continuous training on the existing management aspects: pedagogical, administrative and financial and is complemented by a Pedagogical book containing subsidized actions for Pedagogical Management in public schools. We also consider the need for further research related to school inspection praxis, in view of the educational changes that have occurred over the years, as well as the improvement of the pedagogical book instruments that other normative and guiding texts should be incorporated into.
