Abstract

This dissertation analyses the development of the Cooperative Learning Methodology in a professional education public school in the state of Ceará. The objective is to know how the Cooperative Learning Methodology is put into practice in a formal classroom, considering that its use in this region is associated with autonomous and informal initiatives of youth groups such as the Cooperative Cells Program - PRECE. The researches undertaken for this dissertation have showed that there are difficulties in implementing of this methodology faced by common national basis teachers and, mainly by technical base teachers. This work was based on authors who develop studies on cooperative methodology, such as: Lopes & Silva (2009) who developed reflections about the application of this method in classrooms. The brothers David W. Johnson and Rogers T. Johnson (1998), presenting the five elements of Cooperative Learning; Casassus, which conducts studies on emotional education and Andrade Neto and Mazzetto (2007) which examine the PRECE Cooperative Learning PRAYER. This study has involved the use of sources such as interviews and questionnaires applied to professionals and students in the selected school. Moreover, the internal documents of the institution, such as the Pedagogical and Political Project and School Rules were analyzed. At work we highlight the development of an Education Action Plan aiming to contribute with concrete actions to improve the Cooperative Learning Methodology in the classroom. The intervention proposal consists of three actions. The first action is to promote constant training on this methodology with the school teachers. The second action intends to create a coordinating school to effect articulation of Cooperative Learning Methodology implemented by common national basis and technical base teachers. And the third action aims to establish with the Secretary of Municipal Education a team of Cooperative Learning Methodology dissemination in municipal schools. All these actions were presented focusing on the role of teacher and student as actors in the process of implementing the Cooperative Learning Methodology in Professional Education Public School Alan Pine Tabosa.
