O gestor escolar da rede estadual de ensino de Goiás: identidade e formação

Abstract

This research had as objective to understand how the identity of the manager of the public schools of the state school network of Rio Verde / GO and what the possible relevance of the formation in this identity process is constituted. The selection of the subjects was based on the performance and formation of managers linked to the Regional Secretariat for Education, Culture and Sport of Rio Verde / GO. We obtained the collaboration of eleven subjects, being two graduates in Pedagogy, two in History, two in Biological Sciences, two in Mathematics, one in Physical Education, one in Letters and one in Geography. We opted for the methodological approach of dialectical historical materialism, because we understand that this approach is the one that best allows the understanding of educational practice as a process and product of human work in the production of the material existence of humanity. We adopted the research methodology of the case study type, with a qualitative approach. The instruments used were the mixed questionnaire, the semistructured interview and the filming. We established specific objectives: to understand the project of teacher professionalization implemented by the educational policies and the required educational quality; conceptualize school management based on educational literature and identify the different epistemological bases of this conceptualization; to know, to describe and to analyze the practices of formation of the school manager in the scope of the state educational network of Goiás; to analyze the formative experiences of the selected managers, by the subjects' reports; plan and execute the production of a documentary in which reports of formative experiences, conceptions and practices of public school managers of the Rio Verde / GO state education network will be recorded. For the analysis, we proposed categories that guided the construction of the concrete thought and that relate to the research problem and the guiding questions: i) conception of management and quality of education and ii) formation of the school manager. The educational product dealt with the planning and execution of the recording of a documentary in which are recorded reports of formative experiences and conceptions of the managers of the public schools of the state school network of Rio Verde / GO. When studying the constitution of the identity of the school manager, we intend to contribute to the debate of the policies of teacher training and professionalization, focusing on the training of managers. The results indicated that the professional identity of the school manager is made up streamlined courses offered by the government itself, which mainly aim at technical and instrumental knowledge and aim at achieving efficiency, standardization of results and productivity. process, although recognized by the subjects, is only a prerequisite for recruiting conformed and subservient workers to the neoliberal model established. We suggest that approaches towards the materiality of teacher education policies be studied and that the relationship between education and the labor market be evaluated.
