Afastamentos para pós-graduação stricto sensu de servidores Técnicos Administrativos em Educação na Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora

Abstract

This dissertation was developed within the scope of the Professional Master's degree in Management and Evaluation of Public Education (PPGP) of the Public Policies Center and Education Evaluation of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd/ UFJF). The research originated from the following question: What measures could be adopted by UFJF to subsidize requests of leaves for stricto sensu postgraduation from Administrative Technical Servants in Education (TAE), considering the changes brought by Decree No. 9.991/19? The new National People Development Policy (PNDP), instituted by the aforementioned decree, determines that the institutions must elaborate, annually, planning of the development actions they intend to perform in the following year. Moreover, concerning the leaves for stricto sensu post-graduation, it is established the need for such leaves to be preceded by a selection process, to enable transparency and equanimity in benefit granting. In this context, the objective of the research is to understand what procedures could be adopted by UFJF to regulate the granting of the leaves for stricto sensu postgraduate courses, in the light of Decree No. 9.991/19. The topic choice was due to the author acting as an Administrative Technician in Education at GAQC - UFJF, and verifying the need to create rules and procedures for effective management of these processes, in addition to the need to adjust them to the current rules. Specific objectives were defined: to describe which procedures were adopted by the Federal University of Juiz de Fora for the granting of leaves before the Decree No. 9.991/19; to analyze what changes and adjustments were made as well as analyze what impacts are expected for the coming years and, finally, to propose an action plan to fill eventual gaps in the leave process, besides adjusting the internal regulatory acts to the provisions in the decree. To reach the objectives, we adopted a case study and qualitative research as a methodology, in which instruments were used such as the mapping of leave processes for stricto sensu postgraduate courses, through which we performed the analysis of documents contained in the institution's databases. To support the research, we sent questionnaires to a group of TAE civil servants, who participate in graduate programs, to understand how training, qualification, and the leaves for graduate studies at UFJF have been treated. We also conducted semi-structured interviews with the careers and people development coordinator with the people management dean, to verify whether there was an adjustment of the internal rules to the decree and how requests for leaves have been handled for TAE servants qualify. Finally, an action plan was proposed to assist UFJF in the management of leave requests and adequacy to the current rules, seeking isonomy in the treatment of leaves for stricto sensu postgraduate studies within the institution, in addition to ensuring the excellence of the qualification and training programs of the institution.
