A atuação da supervisão escolar em relação à formação continuada de professores: uma análise em oito escolas de anos iniciais do ensino fundamental em Cacoal/Rondônia

Abstract

The present dissertation was developed within the scope of 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). The management case studied discusses the performance of school supervision in relation to continued teacher education, an analysis of eight elementary schools in Cacoal/Rondônia. To this end, the question is: How are continued training in the 8 schools surveyed and what is the role of supervision in this process? We hypothesize that the School Supervisors have little mediated the formations with the teachers of the school. In this sense, the general proposal is to verify how continued education is being carried out in schools from 1st to 5th year of elementary school and to detect the role of school supervision in this process. The specific objectives defined for this study were: i) to describe the performance of school supervision in relation to the continued education of teachers who work in the initial years of elementary school; ii) analyze how these formations are implemented in the Cacoal school units; and iii) propose actions that may contribute to the quality of this implementation. Therefore, the research is a case study, whose purpose is to verify how continued education is being carried out in schools from 1st to 5th year of elementary school and to detect the role of school supervision in this process. It is necessary to emphasize that the research was done in two moments. For the first chapter, a documentary analysis was carried out in the action plans of the school supervisors and in the Pedagogical Political Projects of the eight schools surveyed, in order to collect evidence for the research problem. In the second moment, a bibliographical research was carried out that aimed to base the case theoretically. In order to complete the methodological course, the field research was carried out, which included the following instruments: i- interviews with school supervisors; ii- questionnaires with the managers; iii- questionnaires with a sample of three teachers per school. The use of these instruments aimed to deepen the characteristics of this study and to look for elements that helped to create an Action Plan. The action plan intends to point out ways to minimize the problem detected in this case.
