Magistra – a escola da escola: a implementação de uma política pública em formação continuada de educadores em Minas Gerais

Abstract

The present work case discusses the implementation of Magistra - School of Formation and Professional Development of Educators - whose goal is to provide continuing education for professionals in the public education of the state of Minas Gerais. The proposed research aimed to analyze Magistra comprising, besides the training concept that underlies it, its training proposal and structuring actions that were carried out through the actions of its managers and propose a plan of action that contributes to the effective implementation of its activities. The justification for the definition of Magistra is the relevance of continuing education in contemporary debates about public policy in education. The research, a qualitative approach, used semi-structured interviews in order to hear the actors involved in the construction and implementation of the School of Education and documentary analysis: the site of Magistra, videos (Circle of Talk), laws, internal documents to School (Political Pedagogical Project of the School of Formation, among others) in order to analyze the implementation the actions of Magistra. During the research contextualized by school training included in public education of Minas Gerais it was described the conception of continuing education that guides its actions and the role of managers to implement and carry out Magistra its conceptions in its first years of operation. The research reveals, among other things, that it failed to materialize the initial proposal for the implementation of learning communities. These results thus delineate the proposition and make it induce the creation of learning communities in the state schools of Minas Gerais.
