Clube da virada: um estudo de caso sobre um projeto de potencialização da aprendizagem dos alunos da escola Rio Aracatiaçu

Abstract

The research in question was developed in the context of the Professional Master's Degree in Management and Evaluation of Public Education (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policy and Education Evaluation at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd/UFJF). This research sought to analyze how school management influenced the actions and projects undertaken by the Rio Aracatiaçu school to raise student results in large-scale assessments in the subjects of Portuguese Language and Mathematics. Thus, the following problem-question was outlined: In what way has school management influenced the actions and projects undertaken by the Rio Aracatiaçu school to raise student results in large-scale assessments, in the subjects of Portuguese Language and Mathematics? To answer this question, at first, we carried out a documentary research on the results achieved in the external evaluations of Escola Rio Aracatiaçu. In a second moment, we carried out a bibliographical research in the PPGP dissertation bank to understand and better situate our research object. Finally, we applied a questionnaire to 25 teachers, another to 80 students from the institution and semi-structured interviews with the manager of the institution from 2016 to 2019 and with the current manager of the school. Among the references that supported the analysis of the results, the following stand out: Oliveira (2016); Soares & Andrade (2008); Soares & Brook (2008); Lee (2010); Light (2006); Lima (2008). After the analysis, we identified five factors that interfere in the better execution of the project Clube da vira, from the perspective of the responding students, teachers and principals, namely: division of cells; opening hours; curriculum components involved; continuing education; and communication. With this in mind, we present the Educational Action Plan (PAE), which consists of actions that will favor the better progress and execution of the Clube da Volta project as a new model for dividing students into learning cells, updating the schedule for carrying out project activities, expanding the number of curricular components covered, moments training and studies during the planning and creation of information communities through the most different media. Therefore, it is expected that this research can contribute to the school in strengthening planning for a project that already has significant results in the institution.
