As dificuldades enfrentadas pelo inspetor escolar no exercício da carreira em uma Superintendência Regional de Ensino de Minas Gerais

Abstract

This dissertation was developed within the sphere of the Professional Master's Degree in Management and Evaluation of Education (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policies and Evaluation of Education at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd/UFJF). The management case studied discussed the work of the School Inspector since entering the position and the difficulties faced by this professional in a Regional Teaching Superintendence (SRE) in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte, in the state of Minas Gerais. Thus, the question investigated was: what are the difficulties encountered by Inspectors in the exercise of their profession? The objectives of the research were to analyze the challenges of the School Inspector from the beginning of his career at the SRE, either by appointment or by temporary contract; identify how the immediate head of the Inspectors and the directors of the Superintendence boards perceive the Inspector's performance after he has entered his career; and, finally, propose an intervention so that the problems raised can be alleviated or resolved through an Educational Action Plan (PAE). For this purpose, we used, as a methodology, the case study; and, as instruments, semi-structured interviews carried out with School Inspectors, school directors and directors of the Educational Boards of the SRE, totaling more than 12 hours of interviews. The interviews showed that the Inspectors face many difficulties in their performance, especially when entering the position. The axes of analysis used were: professional ethics in the inspection of schools; training for acting in the Inspection, continued training in service; institutional memory and peer support; the role of the inspector: work overload and deviation from the main activity (pedagogical work). Finally, the proposed Action Plan suggests valuing peer support in the exercise of the position, as well as different forms of training to promote a more productive and, at the same time, smoothe, exercise in the position.
