O coordenador adjunto pedagógico no processo educativo do macrossistema da Seduc/AM: uma análise da formação continuada

Abstract

This dissertation was developed on the Professional Master in Management and Evaluation of Public Education (PPGP) from the Center for Public Policies and Evaluation of Education from the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd / UFJF). The focus of this work is the educational management, and we seek to discuss the relationship between the assistant pedagogical coordinator and the educational practice in the context of the macrosystem from the State Department of Education and Quality of Teaching from Amazonas - Seduc / AM. The aim of this work was to analyze the difficulties experienced by the assistant pedagogical coordinator in his / her function, due to the absence of a specific continuous education. The importance of this study is on understanding the role, the attributions, the contributions, and the perspective under it was created the function of assistant pedagogical coordinator in the context of the Seduc / AM macrosystem. It is also important to understand the proposals for continuing education specifically to CAP, within the scope of public policies, in order to understand the professional needs of his/her performance in the educational process. The research is qualitative in its essence, characterized as a descriptive case study. The research process was based on the studies by Libâneo (2010), Oliveira (2013), Gatti (2008), Placco et al. (2011), among other authors who discuss aspects related to continuing education, to attributions, to the constitution of professional identity and the daily challenges that permeate the praxis of the pedagogical coordinator within the educational institutions. We also use the work by Machado and Arribas (2011), which addresses the importance of social representations in the the pedagogical coordinator’s identity construction. The methodology consists on documentary research in a first moment, and in a second moment, on interviews with the previous and the current directors of Cepan, and with district coordinators of education, and also on the focal group with the CAPs, with twelve (12) participants. The research showed that the lack of macrosystem orientation for the activities developed by the CAPs, and especially the absence of specific continuing education proposals that instrumentalise the CAPs, both technically and pedagogically, to carry out the actions demanded by the education department, are crucial points for strengthening the CAP as an individual who coordinates the educational processes in the educational microsystem. Therefore, it is essential to provide these individuals moments in which they are seen as coparticipants on the educational actions promoted by Seduc / AM. Finally, we propose an Educational Action Plan (PAE), based on the propositions made by the CAPs during the data construction process, aiming to contemplate the needs of specific continuing education, as a tool that will contribute to technical, didactic and pedagogical aspects of their attributions.
