Desafios do Ensino Médio no contexto das avaliações externas realizadas na Escola Estadual Padre Simim

Abstract

This dissertation is developed in the scope of the Professional Graduate Program (PPGP) in Management and Evaluation of Public Education of the Center for Public Policies and Evaluation of Education at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd/UFJF). The objective of this study is to investigate the factors related to the low performance of the Padre Simim State school located in Acaica – Minas Gerais state, in external evaluations, as well as to analyze the main challenges of High School in national and state levels and within the specificities of the context of this institution. It is intended to establish a connection between the challenges of this education level and how they impact the teaching-learning process. In addition, an action plan is proposed in order to minimize the detected problems. To this end, the study is based on bibliographic research and on field research through structured interviews with the school’s management team and focus groups with students, teachers and former teachers of that educational institution. The analysis of the collected data was carried out based on the following authors: Flick (2004), Gil (2007), Bonamino and Sousa (2012), Costa (2019), Tartuce et al. (2018), Tomazetti and Schlickmann (2016), Canguçu and Romero (2014), Melo and Morais (2019), Melo and Leonardo (2019), among others. Faced with the challenges discussed throughout the text, an Educational Action Plan was proposed with intervention proposals to be applied by school management with the aim of improve learning. This plan presents four main areas of action: closer relations between families and the school; creation of listening and communication channels with the students; creation of a coexistence plan and incentive for youth protagonism; and creation of a listening and discussion channel about external evaluations.
