Abstract

This research aimed at the creation of an instrument for the evaluation and monitoring of the teaching practice, from a case study realized in three schools under the jurisdiction of the 10th Regional Coordination of Development on Education from the state of Ceará/ Brazil. We sought to identify the training needs of the professionals, with a view to valuing teaching and its improvement, as well as to the advancement of the educational results. This theme was chosen, especially, due to the professional activities of the researcher, as a teacher, a secretary of education from Morada Nova, a city the state of Ceará, Brazil, and as a regional coordinator of the Education Department from the same state, being fully inserted in the educational context and involved with the schools’ results. So, for this work, we chose a qualitative approach and we used the ethnographic research with participant observation, questionnaires for teachers and managers of the three selected schools, and the discussions that occurred among the research participants when in focus groups. As theoretical contributions, we used specially the concepts of Fernandes, Dourado, Graça, Rezende, Lück and Chiavenato. As we saw, the absences of mechanisms that allow evaluate the quality of teaching practice, teachers' motivation and especially their real training needs, become a problem for the educational management performed by the 10th CREDE, which interferes directly in the monitoring and effectiveness of the teaching-learning processes occurring in educational institutions. Thereby, in the end of this work, through the proposal of an Educational Action Plan, we creation of an instrument for the evaluation and monitoring of teachers’ practices from the identification of training professionals needs, focused on the enhancement of teaching, their improvement, as well as on the progress of the schools results.
