As atividades extraclasse e a formação continuada dos professores na Escola Estadual Ana Salles

Abstract

This dissertation is developed within the scope of the Professional Master’s degree in Management and Evaluation of Public Education (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policies and Evaluation of Education (CAEd) of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF). The management case analyzed the challenges faced by the management of the Ana Salles State School in the process of carrying out the continuing education of teachers. Therefore, this study had as its general objective to analyze the challenges faced by the management of the Ana Salles State School in organizing extracurricular activities that hinder the carrying out of continuing education in service of teachers. The following specific objectives were defined as: (a) to describe how the management of the Ana Salles State School organizes the fulfillment of the time of extracurricular activities of teachers; (b) to analyse how the EEAS organizes the time for extracurricular activities to ensure the continued training of in-service teachers and (c) to propose an action plan to assist management in organizing extracurricular activities so that this time is better used, thus contributing to the effective implementation of in-service continuing education. This is a qualitative study in which bibliographic and documentary research were carried out, interviews with the director and two specialists were conducted, and a discussion group was held with eighteen teachers, nine of whom were teachers from the initial years and nine from the final years. To support the theoretical discussion, we discussed the importance and challenges of in-service continuing education, using the concepts and theories of Nóvoa (2001), Imbernón (2009), Tardif (2014) and Freire (1996). To discuss teaching work, we started from the studies of Tardif (2014) and, regarding school management, we relied on Libâneo (2004) and Lück (2009). Data analysis was structured around three axes: (a) the importance of continuing education in service; (b) continuing education and quality of teaching work; (c) challenges of continuing education in service. The main findings reveal that collective meetings, which could be a space for continuing education, are occupied by pedagogical and administrative demands assigned by the State Department of Education (SEE). There is a need to reorganize the time of extracurricular activities, allowing continuing education in service to become an effective practice within the school. Based on the results of the research, the Educational Action Plan (PAE) was developed, which proposes four concrete and viable actions in the school environment, whose themes are: conducting a survey of teachers' training needs and interests; preparing a calendar planning training throughout the year; establish partnerships with other institutions to hold continuing education meetings and evaluate the continuing education process.
