Estudo comparativo da utilização do Sistema Mineiro de Administração Escolar (SIMADE) por duas escolas estaduais da SRE Coronel Fabriciano

Abstract

The present work, a case study focusing on school management, aimed to analyze and compare the implementation and use of the School Administration System of Minas Gerais (SIMADE) for two state schools under the SRE Coronel Fabriciano and propose an Action Plan for Educational (APE) aimed at raising awareness of managers, training of users and possible improvements in the system. The SIMADE was established by the State Department of Education of Minas Gerais (SEEMG) in 2008, in partnership with the Center for Public Policy and Education Evaluation (CAEd), Federal University of Juiz de Fora. This is a school management system structured network and powered by their own teaching units daily. Allows storage, circulation and the production of information about each school unit state of Minas Gerais. To achieve this goal, it was first described, the design of SIMADE and the research context. Then a discussion was made on the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in school management through theoretical contributions Chiavenato (2003), Hessel (2004), Kunsch (2003), Lacombe & Heilborn (2006), Maximiano (2000), Moran (2003), Porto (2006), Wels (2005), among others. To complement the theoretical reflection and subsidize both the problematics of research case management, regarding the formulation of the APE, was undertaken an empirical study on the two state schools set to search through semi-structured interviews with the management team to diagnose why the schools under study have different levels of performance in terms of frequency and quantity of supplied and updated information on SIMADE, considering presumably both received the same training and have the same monitoring by the SRE. The analysis of the case, from the collected data and the literature search regards the subject, allowed to raise some evidence of the problem of using the SIMADE as noise in internal and external communications, and subsidized an action plan with a focus on school management departments , that proposes a differentiated training with the use of technology for Distance Education and social networks.
