A implementação e a operacionalização do programa ensino médio inovador em três escolas da rede estadual de ensino de Manaus

Abstract

This Dissertation brings the analysis of the Innovative High School Program (ProEMI, in Portuguese), whose main objective is to promote the induction of circular rearrangements through financial and technical support from the Ministry for Education. The objective of this study was to understand how the process of implementation and management of this policy came to pass in three public schools from the state network of Manaus/AM. According to this study, this text was organized in three chapters. In chapter I, we conducted the description of the present management case study from the investigation of official documents that contributed to the understanding of the program, especially their guiding documents, and from the characterization of the actors and of the schools that constitute the universe of this investigation. From this first moment, it was possible to realize the countless difficulties in implementing the ProEMI. In the chapter II, we outlined the methodological path of the qualitative research, its instruments of data collection (semi structured interviews with the Institutional Coordinator, and surveys applied to the school principals, articulating teachers and teacher in charge of classrooms from the selected schools. To fundament this study, the first analysis of ProEMI had as support the model for evaluation of public policies proposed by Condé (2011). The analyses of the Project of Curricular Redesign (PRC, in Portuguese) from the three researched schools had as a theoretical support the studies of Mainardes (2006). Moreover, the studies of ProEMI as a curriculum policy and the analysis of the field research data had theoretical support of the authors who discuss curriculum policies, such as: Lopes (2008, 2010), Lopes and Macedo (2011), Silva (2009, 2014), Krawczyk (2003) and Schneckenberg (2000). It was possible to conclude that, in the context of practice, the program has low understanding levels by school actors and that the PRC of the researched schools only exist in the formal aspect. The schools only conduct supply purchases, but they cannot innovate in the pedagogical work. Besides, it was possible to identify that some of the program’s guidelines are neglected by SEDUC. In the Chapter III, given the lack of connection between the official discourse and the implementation of the program, we propose an Educational Action Plan, composed of 13 strategies to be considered by schools that take part in ProEMI. Lastly, we bring a brief reflection about the fragilities of the policy and regarding the main challenges to be overcome so that this program may, in fact, change the reality of public High School.
