A avaliação institucional como instrumento de gestão estratégica: estudo de caso em uma escola estadual de Itabira-MG

Abstract

This dissertation was developed under the Professional Master in Management and Evaluation of Education (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policies and Education Evaluation of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd / UFJF) and aims to propose the improvement of the model of institutional evaluation already tested in EE Professor Palmira Morais, making possible its effectiveness as an instrument of strategic management. Within this perspective, the research was developed based on the assumption of institutional evaluation as a management mechanism that allows self-knowledge of the institution allowing the correction and improvement of internal processes and a continuous learning of the school community. Regarding the methodological course, qualitative research was adopted with the use of a structured interview and focus group. The results evidenced the need for adjustments in the instruments of collection and improvement in the internal communication process. In the perception of the subjects of the research, the evaluative cycle was very short and the information was insufficient or treated in a superficial way, the dissemination did not gain the amplitude necessary to reach the whole community and in the same way the results were not shared effectively with the community, there was no feedback. The research also indicated a need to review the methodology and collection instruments for continuity of the process and the creation of an evaluation committee in the form of the Evaluation Committee. In the light of these results, the third chapter of this work developed an Educational Action Plan whose proposals cover a set of actions to improve the institutional evaluation implemented in the school under study. These proposals have as challenge to indicate possible ways and limits to foment a culture of self-evaluation in the schools of basic education.
