O impacto do ensino noturno nos resultados do Spaece: o caso de duas escolas do Ceará

Abstract

The present case study aims to demonstrate that the night time High School, in the state of Ceará, needs specific guidelines in the process of appropriation of results in large scale evaluations. In order to do so we investigated and analyzed the process of appropriation by the professionals in two schools, one characterized by students enrolled in courses taking place during the day and another with the majority enrolled in night courses. During the research, we identified that the manner in which the results are published on the Permanent System of Basic Education Evaluation of Ceará (SPAECE, in Portuguese), which are presented in general averages by grade, do not allow the distinction between the daytime and night time courses. The achievement analysis in the schools demonstrates better results in the school which has the majority of its students attending classes during the day. One cause for such fact consists on the larger number of school hours on the daytime courses. We utilized, in conducting this research, the theoretical support of the studies by Soligo (2010), Sousa (2013), Brooke (2013), Oliveira (2013) and Barreto (2013). From the qualitative analysis of the materials made available by the Education Secretariat of Ceará (SEDUC) – which aim to divulge the results of SPAECE and guide school managers in the process of appropriating such results – we identified that there are no guidelines regarding issues found, such as low academic achievement, in the night time courses. Therefore, at the end of the dissertation we present an Educational Intervention Plan, in which we propose the creation of a Night Time Bulletin, a document which shall be included among the publications by SEDUC forwarded to school managers of education institutions in Ceará. The Night Time Bulletin contains two proposals that aim to improve the process of divulging and appropriating of SPAECE results distributed by day and night shifts and reference texts that contemplate the specificities of the night time students.
