Educação integral e gestão escolar: análise do Programa Mais Educação em duas escolas estaduais de Pernambuco

Abstract

This dissertation has analysed in which way school time increase has been understood through Integral Education concepts in two schools of Pernambuco State System, situated in Metropolitan Region of Recife, both with similar social economic contexts. That is the point which guides the proposals of Mais Educação Program (PME), created in 2007 as part of the Plan for Education Development and implemented since 2008 in Brazil, objectifying to encourage the pedagogical practices developed during the latter years of Fundamental Education (Middle/Junior High School). This research is justified by the importance of full time Integral Education, a more and more present issue in Brazilian schools agenda, mainly the public ones for its value in the contexts of recent educational public policies.To reach those objectives and to characterize this study, a bibliographic research was performed, supported on the considerations regarding Integral Education in Brazil, since the 1930’s until nowadays, presenting the paths taken and the legal consequences, ending up its trajectory in Pernambuco as well as the information on the Mais Educação Program. To expand those data and comprehend this policy in the everyday school life, using qualitative methodology, semistructured interviews were realised with the actors envolved on the Program’s implementation, considering the different perspectives of action. The theoretical argumentation was influenced by the reflexions of Ana Maria Cavaliere (2002, 2003, 2010), Gesuína Leclerc (2012), Jaqueline Mool (2012), Lígia Coelho (2003), about Integral Education and Full Time Education, as much as Eduardo Condé (2013) e Jefferson Mainardes (2006, 2009), who construct a discussion about Public Policies implementation; and Heloísa Lück (2010) about school administration.From this work, it’s understood that the obtained results leaded to the necessity of a permanent formation process to all the actors involved. Also it’s important that these participants’ actions (coordinators, principals, teachers and monitors) must be integrated among themselves. Based in the final results of this work, it’s proposed an Educational Action Plan, with directive actions aiming tostrengthen and reframe the Mais Educação proposal.
