Língua portuguesa no ensino médio: perspectivas e desafios de aprendizagem na Escola Estadual Thomé Ferreira Santiago a partir dos resultados das avaliações do SADEAM

Abstract

This research was conducted under the Professional Master Program in Management and Education Assessment (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policy and Federal University of Education Evaluation of Juiz de Fora (CAEd/UFJF). The management case studied seeks to understand the factors that are related to lower results obtained by the State School Thome Ferreira Santiago, in the discipline of Portuguese Language in the evaluations of SADEAM, and aims to analyze how the pedagogical team is facing the challenges of learning this discipline from the results of the external evaluation state of Amazonas. The research approaches the years 2011-2014, during which the school has reduced its contents, with increasing number of students at the level below the basics and reduced number of students in the proficient and advanced levels. The relevance of the research resides in the fact that Portuguese is a curricular component of the external evaluations of SADEAM and SAEB and because of the possibility that the work might contribute to the educational management regarding the perception and coping learning challenges, enabling improved results. In order to proceed with the study, the chosen methodology were the semi-structured interviews with Portuguese language teachers, teachers of other subjects and the school manager. The theoretical framework was built from five different dimensions of management: democratic and participatory school management, results management, pedagogical management, project management and curriculum management, with the ideas of Lück (2009), Burgos (2013) Silva et al (2012), Machado (2012), Ribeiro et al (2005), Leite (1996), Almeida (2001) and Moura and Barbosa (2006), who contributed to the reflections on the challenges faced by the management group to improve the educational outcomes. What we found was the need for training for the teaching staff regarding the interpretation of the results of external evaluations, which we included as an action in the Educational Action Plan (EAP), thus enabling its use as a tool of reflection and improvement in educational practices; the lack of revision and update of the Plan of Pedagogical Proposition (PPP) and the absence of discussion about school curriculum make it necessary to reflect, act and reformulate the pedagogical proposal and update the PPP in PAE. We included also actions that facilitate and guide the pedagogical follow-up and monitor the effectiveness of teaching plans, thus to contribute in the overcoming of the challenges of management in the ongoing search for improvement in learning.
