Absenteísmo docente na rede pública do estado do Amazonas: um estudo de caso em três escolas do município de Manaus/AM

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), and it presents the teacher absenteeism due to diseases in the public educational system of the state of Amazonas. We aim to answer the following question: what factors may be related to teacher absenteeism in the state of Amazonas? This study was developed at Dom Pedro II Amazonian College, at the Public School Francisco das Chagas de Souza Albuquerque, and at the Public School Silvio Vagheggi, which belong to the Coordination District of Education 01 from Manaus, the Amazonas capital. We used the Qualitative approach and the study case method. The research instruments were documentary analysis, interviews with the director of Seduc/AM, school managers and teachers. At the end of this research, we concluded the need to deepen the managers’ knowledge on the quality of life in teaching work, and the need to reorganize the school to attend the students in the absence of the teacher. Considering this information, we present an Educational Action Plan with the following proposals: (i) continuous training for school managers on quality of life in teaching work; (Ii) collaborative actions to maintain the substitute teacher in the school, if there is continuity of the effective teacher’s medical license; and (iii) school organization for class attendance in the absence of the licensed teacher, if there is no substitute teacher.
