O ensino médio noturno da Escola Estadual Carlos Drummond de Andrade sob a ótica do abandono escolar

Abstract

The present management case proposes to analyze school dropout in night high school at Carlos Drummond de Andrade State School, located in the eastern region of Minas Gerais. This institution has a total of 680 students and 63 employees, divided into three shifts and has a considerable dropout rate by night high school students. This problem can be proven through the records of the teacher's diaries, in addition to the data that can be obtained from SIMADE (Minas Gerais School Evaluation System) and the Brazilian school census database, in studies carried out between the years 2014 to 2018. In this sense, this dissertation proposes to answer the following research question: what factors have caused high school dropout rates in night high school in EE Carlos Drummond de Andrade? Therefore, by conducting this case study, of a qualitative nature, we analyzed the internal and external factors that may be related to the occurrence of abandonment in the examined institution. This research has as objectives: (i) the description of the school examined; (ii) identification of internal and external factors that contribute to the growth of dropout in night high school; and (iii) the proposal of an action plan aimed at reducing this problem. The methodology used consists of an analysis of the legislation that addresses the theme of high school, with a focus on night high school. In addition, a bibliographic review of works that deal with the studied theme is also adopted, among which are: Gatti (2012), Almeida (2011), Batista et al. (2009), Krawczyk (2011) and Moehlecke (2012). In addition, questionnaires were applied to 39 high school students at night as a methodology. Through them, it was possible to see some factors that are associated with school dropout, such as: the need to work, due to poor financial conditions; indiscipline; low frequency; non-commitment to studies; absence of interest; difficulties in following classes; very demanding teachers; and absence of differentiated pedagogical practices. Finally, based on the findings and based on the research carried out, this dissertation proposes an action plan, aimed at the application of pedagogical strategies, in order to mitigate the problem of abandonment in E.E. Carlos Drummond de Andrade.
