A política de formação de professores do programa de intervenção pedagógica – alfabetização no tempo certo da rede estadual de ensino do estado de Minas Gerais

Abstract

This dissertation investigates the design of continuing education offered by the Programa de Intervenção Pedagógica - Alfabetização no Tempo Certo (PIP/ATC) to 1st to 5th grade teachers in the state of Minas Gerais, in Portuguese, aiming at its improvement. To perform the analysis of the design, we chose the qualitative methodology to obtain and collect data, studying also official internal documents from SEE/MG and using them in the Program monitoring and evaluation, the analysis of three semi-structured interviews in total, applied to Program management and a comparison between continuing education of PIP/ATC and training Pacto Nacional pela Educação na Idade Certa (PNAIC) teachers’ in order to identify structural features characterizing the two proposals for training, similarities and differences. The main question the work was based on was does the design of teachers’s continuing education offered by PIP/ATC encourage the teachers’ empowerment as self-knowledge builders and problem-solvers of professional practice and professional development? To do so, we tried to highlight the structure and content of PIP's training, monitoring and pedagogical follow-up carried out by SEE/MG and SREs' teams, and analysis of structured materials available in the light of authors that question and study the subject teacher training, their overlapping, obstacles and advances. The authors chosen for this dialogue, as Nóvoa (1997), Gatti (2009) and Imbérnon (2010), among others, deal with the matters featuring the continuing education process, which will be done through the combination of theory and pedagogical practice of teachers, rethinking at each moment the curriculum that materializes in schools. The necessary consolidation of the dialogue between theory and practice, and the decreasing presence of the teacher’s role conducting its own professional development and the friendlier design rather for prescription than for reflection, form an important triangulation to review this training. Nevertheless, it became clear that the current proposal of PIP has a prescriptive and instructional character, reserving an excessively limited space for reflexive and dialogic action from the teachers to the Program, and to each other. Therefore, this paper worked as subsidy to the proposal of an Educational Intervention Plan as a pilot project of teacher's continuing education, to be implemented in a school belonging to the Superintendência Regional de Ensino de Juiz de Fora, in order to improve the continuing training offered by the PIP/ATC. This project will be presented in two formats, in two stages. In the first, the project will have as purpose to encourage the school to constitute groups of professional development to study, debate, analysis and preparation of practical pedagogical proposals in which the presence and autonomy of the teacher are evidenced, valued and shared among their pairs. In the second stage, anchored in the possibilities of the use of ICTs, aiming to equip the teacher with knowledge of the educational law in the State of Minas Gerais and the curricular proposal from the Secretaria de Estado de Educação.
