Uma análise da formação continuada de professores em língua portuguesa e matemática na Regional Noroeste Fluminense

Abstract

The present dissertation constitutes an exploratory study whose aim is to analyze the continuing teacher training program in Portuguese Language and Mathematics in the State of Rio de Janeiro, consubstantiated in the Perfecting Course by a join action of the State Education Secretariat (SEEDUC, in Portuguese) and the Center for Science and Higher Distance Education of Rio de Janeiro (CECIERJ, in Portuguese). The study conducts a qualitative analysis of that course, from a seated theoretical basis of bibliographic sources on the topic.The empirical basis gathers data collected through a survey composed of multiple choice and open questions. Initially the study approached matters related to educational results in the state, followed by a synthesis of the curricular reforms in the state network of Rio de Janeiro since the 1980s. The study conducts important considerations regarding continuing teacher training and, specifically, shows how such training has been conducted in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Then, in a methodological analysis, it presents the path followed on the course of the investigation with its respective procedures for gathering and analyzing data. Finally, the results are discussed based on the data collected. The results obtained suggest a reassessment of the program, in which not only the members should participate, but also the teachers, school managers and regional coordinators, so that the necessary adjustments may be realized towards the program’s efficiency.
