O programa de intervenção pedagógica do estado de Minas Gerais - PIP

Abstract

Based on the Literacy Assessment Program (PROALFA 2006), the State Sec-retariat of Education of Minas Gerais showed that 31% of the estate educational sys-tem’s students were coming to the 3rd year of elementary school without knowing how to read words and, therefore, not having the appropriate literacy level according to their age. Considering this scenario, in 2007 was created the Pedagogical Inter-vention Program (PIP) with the challenge of reversing the reality detected. PIP’s main objective was to improve student learning and reduce repetition, having the motto: “Every child reading and writing by the age of eight”. In this context, this thesis in-tends to understand how PIP's actions were implemented and how the different ac-tors of the schools have appropriated the program and its influence on the develop-ment process of students in the early years of literacy. Thus, the analysis of the ef-fects of PIP is a valuable tool to strengthen the existing good practices or suggest changes in the direction of the program's management. To support this study, a comparison was made with Ceará and Espírito Santo’s Pedagogical Intervention Program – accordingly Literacy at the Right Age Program (PAIC) and The right of Learning - Reading, writing and Counting - The point of departure for all the learning. The chosen programs have the same focus, namely: improving the performance of students who are in the initial years of literacy. The comparison will enable to evi-dence good practices and opportunities for improvement on the design, planning and implementation, management strategies, results and accountability of the programs. The successful actions developed in the programs PAIC and The right of Learning justify the commitment to share information in order to promote a qualitative leap in PIP with the purpose of improving the program's the effectiveness.
