SAERJINHO – desafios e conquistas na busca por uma educação de qualidade para o estado do RJ

Abstract

The present dissertation aims to analyze the role of the school principal in the implementation of the SAERJINHO in the state schools of Vassouras- RJ and verify how he contributed to this process along with the teachers, concerning the school dimension of management. SAERJINHO consists of an diagnostic evaluation policy which takes place every two months in the state schools of Rio de Janeiro and composes a stage of SAERJ (evaluation system of the state of Rio de Janeiro), an external evaluation policy applied annually since 2008. The justification of such research resides on the fact that SAERJINHO is a system capable to detect which students and classes present difficulties every two months. This evaluation system allows adjustments in the teacher’s planning so that the student presenting difficulties may be addressed as soon as the results are released. Throughout the school year the student has possibilities to improve their learning with the actions established by the school based on the results of SAERJINHO. Interviews were conducted with principals of two schools, with Portuguese Language and Mathematics teachers, with IGT (Work Group Member, in Portuguese) and with the Pedagogical Coordinator of the head of the Pedagogical Regional Center South. In order to describe such case we have raised information through semi-structured interview and official documents of the Department of Education of the state of Rio de Janeiro, through searches on the websites of SEEDUC/RJ (Rio de Janeiro’s Department of Education), of MEC (Ministry of Education and Culture), of INEP (National Institute of Education and Research) and the All for Education website, among others. Complementing the references we utilized texts by ARRUDA (2012), CAMPOS (2012), CONDÉ (2011), BONAMINO (2007), BROOKE (2008), LUCK (2012) and SILVA (2010), among others. Once described and analyzed the management case here studied, it is presented, towards the end of the dissertation, an Educational Action Plan, in order to overcome the problems detected at the beginning of the implementation and throughout the process of execution of SAERJINHO in the state of Rio de Janeiro in 2011/2012. We highlight here a Planning Guide to the principal, with which they may trace actions before, during and after the release of SAERJINHO’s results every two months, helping principals and their teams in organizing this evaluation system.
