O alto índice de evasão escolar dos estudantes do projeto Trilhas de Futuro no âmbito de abrangência da SRE/Ubá

Abstract

This dissertation was developed within the scope of the Professional Master's Degree in Public Education Management and Assessment (PPGP) at the Center for Public Policies and Education Assessment at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd/UFJF). The management case sought to understand dropout rates in the SRE/Ubá Future Trails Project classes. The guiding question defined was: Considering the high dropout rate in the Trilhas de Futuro Project classes, what measures can be taken to overcome or reduce the high dropout rate? The general objective was to understand the causes of evasion in the SRE/Ubá Future Trails Project. The specific objectives consisted of: (i) describe how the dropout process identified in the Project courses takes place, as well as in which courses, shifts and institutions the dropout numbers are higher or lower (ii) identify and analyze based on the theoretical framework, field research and available material, the possible causes of evasion researched (iii) propose an Action Plan that minimizes evasion. As a research hypothesis, the existence of a complexity of factors involving school dropout in Professional and Technological Education was considered, such as personal, social and institutional factors. For the theoretical discussion, Mainardes (2006) was referenced; Lotta (2012); Dore and Luscher (2011) and Figueiredo and Salles (2017). Regarding the methodological proposal, it has a qualitative-quantitative approach, using semi-structured interviews with project actors, and also analysis of records, documents and spreadsheets aimed at collecting data. According to the research findings, five nuclei were structured that group the main factors linked to evasion in the Project. In the end, an Educational Action Plan was proposed, structured into five actions, which consist of the creation of a “Vocational APP”; carrying out “Methodological Adjustments”; “Creation of an exclusive work team at SRE”; carrying out “Adjustments in Public Policy” and “Institutional sponsorship”, with a view to circumventing or reducing dropouts in project courses.
