Sistema integrado de gestão educacional do Amazonas: desafios e possibilidades na utilização do módulo especial

Abstract

The State Education and Quality Secretariat of Amazonas (SEDUC/AM) developed and implemented the Amazon Educational Management System (SIGEAM). It integrates this system, among several others, a module called SPECIAL. This module is composed by services and management reports that aim to subsidize the school management and the macro management of SEDUC/AM, in the decision making about the target audience of Special Education. According to the research, from the training provided to the school managers, I realized that they not only did not have access to all the services of this module, but they also did not know the full ones to which they had access. Considering these factors due to this research, as conditioners for the full use of the system, the general objective of this work is to investigate the factors that limit the use of the Special Module by school administrators to promote pedagogical and administrative interventions. So, such a scenario aroused the interest of this researcher, leading me to look at the subject. I went through the historical paths of this subject in Brazil, and I described this path. I consulted legislation on the subject and highlighted the most relevant legal frameworks. I returned to my reality, studying this context in the state school system of Manaus. Concerning this context, from the application of semi-structured questionnaires and interviews, with the main actors of Special Education in Manaus, I will examine in a more detailed way, through a theoretical revision of the Special Education theme, with a focus on ICT, mainly from the perspective of Almeida (2007), Moran (2007), Mantoan (2006), Sassaki (2005), the possibilities that come from the use of computerized management systems, focusing on the management of special education. Finally, the findings of this research, provided information for the proposition of an Educational Action Plan (PAE), which allows SEDUC/AM to be more assertive in the policies implemented concerning Special Education.
