Análise da infrequência dos alunos da educação (em tempo) integral em duas escolas da Superintendência Regional de Ensino (SRE) de Coronel Fabriciano-MG

Abstract

This dissertation is a case study developed under the Professional Postgraduate Program (PPGP) in Management and Evaluation of Public Education of the Center for Public Policies and Education Evaluation of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd / UFJF). It is the study of a case of management built around the problem of infrequency of students of full-time education in two state schools circumscribed to the Regional Superintendence of Teaching (SRE) of Coronel Fabriciano-MG. The overall objective is to understand how direction and pedagogical coordination manage the (in) frequency problem of full-time education students in the two schools selected for research. As specific objectives, the following were defined: describe the process of implementation of the integral education policy in the State of Minas Gerais and in the SRE of Coronel Fabriciano, highlighting, in particular, the role of the schools investigated and their managers in this process; to analyze the factors inside and outside the school related to the problem of infrequency of students of fulltime education in the two schools surveyed; and propose actions to be developed by the researched schools and the SRE, aiming to overcome the identified problem. In this sense, the question that sums up this research is: what are the factors related to the infrequency of students of full-time education in the schools surveyed and how do their management teams deal with these factors? The methodological approach is predominantly qualitative. The data collection techniques chosen for the study are direct observation of the researched schools, focal groups with their respective management teams and semi-structured interviews with the inspectors that accompany these schools. Documents such as meeting minutes, class journals, student presence lists, and school occurrence books are also used as secondary sources as they aid in understanding the research problem. Official documents/texts from the federation and the Minas Gerais state are also used, as well as data from the Minas Gerais School Administration System (SIMADE) and from the Political- Pedagogical Project (PPP) of the schools surveyed. The data obtained are analyzed and understood under the theoretical framework selected for the research, which consists of authors such as Guará (2009), Cavaliere (2007, 2009 and 2014), Arroyo (2012), Coelho (2009), Leclerc e Moll (2012) and Santos and Prado (2014), among others. However, the analysis takes into account that one of the assumptions of a qualitative case study is that knowledge is always under construction. Furthermore, the researcher must keep a watchful eye on new and relevant aspects that may arise during the study. The results of the research show that factors related to the curriculum and the use of times and spaces interfere with the students' frequency. Schools also point to the vulnerability of families as a contributing factor to their infrequency. The Education Action Plan (SAP) presented at the end, however, focuses on the aspects in which schools and SRE can intervene: curriculum, time and space in full-time education.
