A implementação do projeto avançar em uma escola da rede estadual de Manaus - Amazonas

Abstract

The management case under study deals with the implementation of the Program for the Correction of Fluxo Escolar - Projeto Avançar (PA) at a state school in the city of Manaus, tied to the State Secretaria of Education (SEDUC/AM) and overseen by the 2nd District Coordenadoria. The goals set for this investigation check team's difficulties in reducing drop out rates in the classes within the PA. For this, was used a qualitative research, through a case study. Besides analysis of documents, were used as instruments of data collection a questionnaire for 16 students within the project and a semi-structured interview with the manager, the school pedagogue, the district supervisor that oversees the project at the school and nine teachers who work with the PA. In the referencial, the PA was discussed as a policy to face school failure and also the causes and consequences of dropping out. The discussion of the results took into account the point of view of the several actors that participated in the project. Analysis of the data made it possible to identify some advances and some difficulties regarding the PA's implementation process as a lack of training for managers, pedagogues and teachers to more effectively perform the actions of the project; teachers' difficulty in working with interdisciplinary projects; lack of meetings to discuss the difficulties in carrying out the PA; infrequent attendance and apathy from the students; and families failing to monitor their children's performance at school. With the results of this analysis, a Plano de Ação Educacional was created containing proposals that will help the managing team to adequately develop the actions of the PA at school, in order to achieve the goals.
