The logic established by this new paradigm is based on a productivist vision and does not establish a proposal for public education guided by an emancipatory practice, that is, to enable students to understand their reality, showing only concern with the improvement of the indexes provided by the state network teaching the assessments established by the Ministry of Education (MEC). The choice for this research demonstrates our interest in contributing to the investigation into the current model of school management of the State Schools of Rio de Janeiro that determines restructuring the work of teachers. The relevance of this research directs to the expansion of knowledge about the reactions that teachers of Ciep Brizol?o 175 Jos? Rego Lins have in relation to the implementation of managerialism as a new paradigm of management of school work in the State Network of Rio State Education from January. For data collection, we use the following instruments: analysis of primary literature sources; analysis of secondary sources; application of a questionnaire with open questions and multiple choice (closed); interviews with key informants and field diary. We find that the social, political and economic management of this new paradigm of school work, conduct search students (workers) a conformation regarding the structure of contemporary society. And because of this, a significant number of teachers as well as the management team, have huge critical to the implementation of GIDE due to her focus the results to be achieved in IDEB instead of seeking to develop a management model that provides students the ability to become emancipated individuals. / Consideramos que o modelo de gerenciamento da educa??o apresentado pelo governo do Estado do Rio de Janeiro transfere aos professores toda a responsabilidade pelos problemas enfrentados na educa??o.

Adorno, has as its object of study the relationship between the school investigated and the community of Vargem Grande. The question that guides this research, is if the mechanisms of management, school-community relationship, existing in the research school ensures the management of this relationship and the consequent care to community demands by the school. The hypotheses suggest there elements and variables that can create noise in the management of this relationship as conflict, administered culture and pseudo-formation of subjects involved and that existing mechanisms in school for guaranteeing school-community relationship, does not guarantee management effective this relationship. The general objective is to investigate the mechanisms of school-community relationship management: the School Council, Class Council and Series, Parent Teacher Association and the Student Government, the latter created by the intervention proposal resulting from this research. Some specific objectives have been established to achieve the general objective, how to parse if the direction of the school investigated is characterized by the dialectic proposed of resumption of sensitization and reflection, as well as others. The methodology of empirical research involved the use of techniques associated with the community study involving a literature review of community history and the studied school, also doing a survey of several other theoretical and academic papers related to the topic, characterizing a case study, where the individual situation is studied in depth to provide a broader understanding of other cases. The results allowed us to confirm our hypothesis that the existence of these management mechanisms, does not automatically guarantee a democratic and participatory management, since it does not happen on a regular basis the ordinary or extraordinary convocations of the School Council, Parent Teacher Association and the Student Government. / La presente Masters tesis llamada "La Gestión de la relacione escuela y la comunidad", con base en la teoría crítica de Theodor W. Adorno, tiene como objeto del estudio la relación entre la escuela y la comunidad, en Vargem Grande. La pregunta que guía la investigación es si los mecanismos de gestión de las relaciones escuela-comunidad disponibles en la escuela investigada, asegura la gestión de esta relación y la consiguiente atención a las demandas de la comunidad por la escuela. Las hipótesis sugieren que hay elementos y variables que pueden crear ruido en la gestión de esta relación como un conflicto, la cultura determinada y la pseudoformação de los sujetos implicados y que los mecanismos existentes en la escuela para garantizar la relación escuela-comunidad, no garantiza la gestión efectiva de esta relación. El objetivo general es investigar los mecanismos de gestión de las relaciones escuela-comunidad: el Consejo Escolar, el Consejo clase y serie, la Asociación de Padres y Maestros y el Gobierno Estudiantil, este último creada por la propuesta de intervención como resultado de esta investigación. Algunos objetivos específicos se establecieron para alcanzar el objetivo general, como analizar si la junta de la escuela investigada se caracteriza por la propuesta dialéctica de la reanudación de la conciencia y la reflexión, así como los demás. La metodología de la investigación empírica implicó el uso de técnicas asociadas con el estudio de la comunidad que implican una revisión de la literatura de la historia de la comunidad y la escuela estudiada, también haciendo un estudio de varios otros trabajos teóricos y académicos relacionados con el tema, caracterizando un estudio de caso donde una situación individual es estudiado en profundidad para proporcionar una comprensión más amplia de otros casos. Los resultados nos permiten confirmar nuestra hipótesis de que la existencia de estos mecanismos de gestión, no garantiza automáticamente una gestión democrática y participativa, puesto que no se produce de forma regular las convocatorias ordinarias y extraordinarias del Consejo Escolar, la Asociación de Padres y Maestros y el gobierno del estudiante. / A presente dissertação denominada “A Gestão da Relação Escola-Comunidade”, fundamentada na teoria crítica de Theodor W.

The aim of this study was to examine the management of parent involvement in historically disadvantaged secondary schools in Tshwane West district, Gauteng. A literature study was undertaken to investigate the existing theories and models of parent involvement as well as their practical application. A literature study was also done to explore the historical development of the management of parent involvement in South Africa. The advantages of and barriers to parent involvement were also investigated through the review of both local and international literature. An interpretive, qualitative approach was adopted and an investigation of the management of parent involvement was conducted in three of the selected historically disadvantaged secondary schools in Tshwane West district, Gauteng. In-depth interviews were conducted with principals and focus-group interviews were held with three teachers as well as three members of the School Governing Bodies of each of the three selected schools. The overall impression was that the extent of parent involvement in the education of their children was very minimal due to the inability of the School Management Teams, especially school principals, to initiate, facilitate and sustain organisational structures and management processes which would ensure the effective involvement of parents in the education of their children. As a result of those findings, it was realised that a need existed to equip members of the management teams, including school principals, with appropriate skills that would assist in the implementation and sustenance of effective parent involvement programmes. / Educational Leadership and Management / M.

The aim of this study was to investigate, from an educational management perspective, the factors that influence job satisfaction amongst special needs educators in selected New Zealand special needs schools. A qualitative research method was utilised to investigate the educational management strategies that influence the job satisfaction of special needs educators in selected New Zealand special needs schools. This dissertation presents the findings from a questionnaire on participants’ geographical details and data from related interviews. The findings from this study indicate that the job satisfaction of special needs educators is mainly influenced by factors such as management support, adequate resources, collaborative working relationships, ability of students with special educational needs to progress, and communication, among others. The study makes certain recommendations to help special needs educational managers effectively manage factors that influence job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction for special needs educators. / Educational Studies / M.

El uso de la tecnología en la gestión de la administración pública permite mejorar varias aristas que por lo general se realizan de manera manual, lo que conlleva a demoras y sobrecargas de trabajo. Por ello, la propuesta tiene como objetivo diseñar una solución tecnológica que permita automatizar las actividades manuales que intervienen en el proceso para la Supervisión Educativa, con la finalidad de tener información digitalizada, centralizada y disponible para la organización. Así mismo, se optimizarán los tiempos de respuesta entre las áreas involucradas y una mejor performance de las supervisiones realizadas. Para el desarrollo del proyecto se han divido en diferentes fases, la primera fase está orientada al análisis de la organización, aplicando los conceptos del marco de trabajo de Zachman para conocer la situación actual (AS-IS) del proceso de Supervisión. Así mismo, se definen los objetivos del proyecto. En la segunda fase se analiza y comprende la aplicación de los Student Outcomes en el desarrollo del proyecto. En la tercera fase como conceptos que respaldan el desarrollo del proyecto se encuentra el desarrollo del marco teórico. La cuarta fase comprende el diseño de la propuesta tecnológica, en donde se identifican los requerimientos funcionales y no funcionales, la que nos permite identificar los drivers arquitectónicos. Finalmente, se muestra el diseño de la arquitectura que soportará la estructura del sistema, basado en los conceptos de diseño, estilos arquitecturales y tácticas de diseño. Se culmina, con la estructura de la gestión del proyecto, la cual nos provee un marco de referencia formal para el desarrollo de este. Además, mediante el uso de las buenas prácticas que determina el PMBOK en su sexta edición, logramos alcanzar los resultados y objetivos propuestos. / The use of technology in the management of public administration allows for the improvement of several aspects that are usually carried out manually, which leads to delays and overloads of work. Therefore, the proposal aims to design a technological solution that allows to automate the manual activities involved in the process for Educational Supervision, to have digitized, centralized, and available information for the organization. Likewise, the response times between the areas involved will be optimized and a better performance of the supervisions carried out. For the development of the project have been divided into different phases, the first phase is oriented to the analysis of the organization, applying the concepts of the framework of Zachman to know the current situation (AS-IS) of the process of supervision. Likewise, the project objectives are defined. In the second phase, the application of the Student Outcomes is analyzed and understood in the development of the project. In the third phase, the development of the theoretical framework is considered as a concept that supports the development of the project. The fourth phase includes the design of the technological proposal, where the functional and non-functional requirements are identified, which allows us to identify the architectural drivers. Finally, the design of the architecture that will support the system's structure is shown, based on the design concepts, architectural styles, and design tactics. It culminates with the structure of the project management, which provides a formal framework for the development of this. In addition, using the good practices determined by the PMBOK in its sixth edition, we achieve the proposed results and objectives. / Tesis

At the best of times, education policy implementation is a difficult and uncertain process. Taking this as a point of departure, the researcher advanced the hypothesis that education policy implementation in a society in transition: is accompanied by a fragmentation of the pre-transition coherence in interpersonal relations among policy actors; is affected by a heightening of value conflicts and the emergence of competing interpretive schemes; is influenced by the perceived self-interest of policy actors; is affected by changing power relationships and structural adjustments; and reflects a general weakening of interpersonal, cultural, and structural linkages that had evolved in pre-transition years. The Indian education system in South Africa was studied as an exemplar of a system located in a society in transition. The data collated by means of three research strategies - historical report, questionnaire, and structured interview - gave strong support to the hypothesis. In addition, they pointed to the significance of variables such as policy content and policy quality, political interference and pressure, bias and favouritism among senior officials, religious, sectional, and language loyalties of participants, and loss of job satisfaction and morale among policy actors. These findings were discussed against the background of relevant literature. This concluded in the development_gf a theoretical model to explain education policy implementation in a society in transition. Basically, the model suggests that socio-political struggles in the larger society tend. to be replicated in the micro-contexts of the education system, producing fundamental alterations in the interpersonal, cultural, and structural aspects of the system, a general weakening of system linkages, and a progressive de-coupling of system components. All these changes recursively impact on and are impacted on by policymaking and policy implementation processes and outcomes. These impacts, however, tend to occur in a non-standard, nonlinear manner. The theoretical underpinnings of the model emerge from general systems theory, modern social systems theory, chaos/ complexity theory, conflict theory, structuration theory, organisation change theory, and loosely coupled systems theory. Finally, the study concludes with general propositions relating to education policy implementation in a society in transition and a set of research and management-oriented recommendations. / Educational Leadership and Management / D.

In England and Wales this new approach is labelled Local Management of Schools (LMS), while School-Based Management (SBM) refers to basically the same initiative in the USA and Canada. Many aspects of the South African variation of selfmanagement of schools, namely the management of state-aided (Model C) schools, are quite similar to SBM and LMS. In addition to the literature review undertaken for this study, qualitative data have been gathered through interviews with a number of educationists who are directly involved in the management of state-aided schools. The main focus was on the changed management role of the principal with regard to financial management, staff management, and the management of parent and community involvement The research concluded with the following findings: A participatory, transparent management style is the key to effective and successful self-management of schools. Financial management has caused the biggest single change in the task of the principal of a state-aided school. Every principal ought to consult as widely as possible, and involve as many staff members as is practicable in the financial management of the school. The principal, management body and parents ought to ensure that a partnership is developed in which there is openness, mutual trust and collaboration. The principal, as managing executive, should also try to ensure that the management body functions effectively. The parents, school community and pupils should be offered the opportunity to participate in a formal, controlled way in the strategic planning and management of the state-aided school / Educational Leadership and Management / D.Ed.

Text in English, abstract in English and Afrikaans / Dramatic changes in Newfoundland's environment and global developments during the past decade, significantly influenced growing demands for restructuring the education system of Newfoundland. Responding to these demands, Newfoundland educators succeeded in creating a single unified non-denominational education system which became fully operational at the beginning of the 1998/99 school year. This achievement has been hailed by the majority of Newfoundlanders as a monumental landmark in the provinces' lengthy experience with denominational education. As well, it is viewed as pivotal in achieving educational excellence and ensuring that children receive a relevant education that will prepare them for the demands of the next century. The former education system (which consisted of four separate denominational school systems operated jointly by the church and the state) had become too cumbersome and inefficient, thus adversely affecting the quality of education. This thesis looks in particular at the contextual realities and perspectives that influenced the demands for changing the system. Such factors as the declining school population, economic conditions, technological developments, as well as legal and political issues have distinctly changed the Newfoundland society during the past number of years, hence the necessity to restructure the education system. The thesis furthermore discusses the proposed government model for restructuring the system and highlights the proposals for improving education. It also focuses briefly on the minority rights issue in Canada, as this has bearing on the legal rights of the church to educate in Newfoundland and its current role within the new structure. An evaluation of Newfoundland's educational reform initiatives (which includes the views of key educators in Newfoundland on these issues), deals with some of the problem areas which currently exist within the new system. However, the focus centres mainly on the obvious improvements in such areas as management, organization, parent involvement, curriculum development, educational achievement and accountability. The impact of these reforms on the social, educational and political dimensions of the Newfoundland society will only become evident in time, yet they hold the promise of having a lasting impact on educational achievement. The remarkable feature of the whole reform process is, that it was achieved from within. / Die ingrypende veranderings wat die Newfoundlandse gemeenskap oor die afgelope dekade ondergaan het, tesame met ontwikkelings op wereldvlak, het aanleiding gegee tot toenemende eise om die onderwysstelsel van Newfoundland te herstruktureer. Gevolglik onderneem die Newfoundlandse regering 'n omvattende herondersoek van die onderwys wat lei tot die vorming van 'n enkele, openbare, ge'integreerde onderwysstelsel wat aan die begin van die skooljaar 1998/99 in werking tree. Hierdie prestasie word as 'n besondere keerpunt in die onderwys deur Newfoundlanders beskou, aangesien die behoud en vooruitgang van die Newfoundlandse gemeenskap en onderwys daardeur verseker word. Voorheen het die onderwysstelsel uit vier afsonderlike kerkskoolstelsels bestaan wat gesamentlik deur die staat en kerk op alle vlakke beheer en bestuur is. Hierdie eiesoortige struktuur het die onderwys al hoe meer belemmer en opvoedkundiges genoodsaak om dit te hersien. Hierdie studie kyk eerstens na die vergestaltende faktore en lewensbeskouings wat die onderwys in Newfoundland ten diepste raak. Faktore soos dalende geboortegetalle, ekonomiese toestande, tegnologiese en staatkundige ontwikkelings dra veral by tot die veranderde leefwereld van die Newfoundlander en noop die regering om die onderwysstelsel daarby aan te pas en 'n onderwysmodel vir die toekoms te ontwerp. Hierdie onderwysmodel wat alle komponente asook die struktuur van die onderwysstelsel aanraak, word vervolgens ontleed. Aandag word ook gewy aan die kwessie van minderheidsregte in Kanada, omdat dit die kerk se reg om onderwys in Newfoundland te bedryf, raak. Laastens word die onderwyshervormings vanuit sekere perspektiewe in oenskou geneem en die standpunte van sommige Newfoundlandse opvoedkundiges word gestel. In die slotbeskouing word ook enkele probleme ge'identifiseer. Die bespreking word egter hoofsaaklik gewy aan aspekte van die onderwys wat alreeds verbetering toon soos onder andere onderwysbeheer en onderwysorganisasie, ouerbetrokkenheid, curriculumontwikkeling en onderwyskundige ontwikkeling. Die toekoms sal bepaal hoe hierdie omvangryke en omvattende onderwysveranderings die sosio-kulturele dimensies van die Newfoundlandse gemeenskap sal be'invloed, terwyl dit die belofte inhou om 'n dinamiese verbetering te bewerkstellig. / Educational Studies / D.
