Esta escola vem se destacando nos resultado das avaliações externas, obtendo nota 7,0 no Índice desenvolvimento da Educação Básica – Ideb de 2011. Em 2013, foi a vencedora do Prêmio de Nacional de Gestão Escolar – PGE. O contexto apresentado foi o motivador do estudo que buscou analisar as práticas de gestão desenvolvidas e efetivadas pela equipe gestora de tal escola com o objetivo de compreender até que ponto a gestão da Escola Estadual Matta Machado tem contribuído para que ela possa se tornar uma escola efetiva a fim de propor melhorias para esse processo. Para tanto, no primeiro capítulo, realiza-se a descrição da escola apresentando as características gerais da instituição e os resultados educacionais comparados ao município, a Superintendência Regional de Ensino à qual ela pertence e o estado de Minas Gerais. No segundo capítulo, embasa-se o estudo nas obras de Lück referentes às dez dimensões da gestão escolar e nos fatores-chave ligados a gestão escolar, pesquisados por Polon. Foi feita, também, a análise dos dados coletados à luz da teoria das autoras. O terceiro capítulo destina-se à proposição de um Plano de Ação tendo como objetivo central a criação de uma rede de trabalho colaborativo entre os diversos integrantes internos e externos à escola para subsidiar e apoiar o trabalho da gestão na implantação de estratégias inovadoras para solucionar os pontos de fragilidades evidenciadas por este estudo. / The present dissertation is characterized as a management case study developed at a public state school in the city of Diamantina, in the state of Minas Gerais. Such school has been having prominent results in the external evaluations, obtaining a 7,0 score in the Basic Education Development Index (Ideb) of 2011. In 2013, it won the the National Award of School Management – PGE. The context presented was the motivation of the study which aimed to analyze the management practices developed and performed by the management team of the school with the objective of comprehending to what extent the management of the State School Matta Machado has contributed for it to become an effective school so that we may propose improvements to the process. In order to do so, in the first chapter we conducted a description of the school presenting the general characteristics of the institution and the educational results compared to the municipality, to the Regional Educational Superintendence to which it belongs and the state of Minas Gerais. On the second chapter the study was based on the works of Lück, referring to the dimensions in school management and on the key factors connected to school management, researched by Polon. It was also conducted an analysis of the data gathered under the perspective of such authors. The third chapter was dedicated to proposing an Action Plan having as its core goal the creation of a collaborative network among the several internal and external members of the school in order to subsidize and support the work of the management team in implementing of innovative strategies to solve the fragile points highlighted in this study.

SummaryBackground Prosthetic users face significant challenges both physically and psychologically. Falling poses a significant risk for the individual, and a consequence of this is gaining a fear of falling and self-imposed restrictions. These consequences can have a major impact on the individuals’ health and quality of life. However, the research in this area is limited.   Objectives  This study aims to investigate prosthetic users’ fear of falling and the circumstances surrounding falls among individuals with a lower-limb amputation in England and Sweden.   Method  In April 2022 a cross-sectional survey was conducted in England and Sweden. 11 participants were recruited. The survey was aimed at the population of lower-limb amputated individuals at the age of 18 or above in the two countries. The survey consists of 111 items with mostly closed-ended questions. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used for the analysis of the data.       Results  The study showed that 8 (72.7%) out of 11 participants had not experienced a fall within the last 30 days and the most common frequency of falls was every six months (54,5%). 2 (18.2%) participants had a fall once every three months which was the highest frequency of falls reported in the survey. This is seen as low frequency, however, 7 (63,3%) out of 11 participants had a fear of falling. A correlation between Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I), Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC) and Gait-Specific Attentional Profile instruments (G-SAP) was performed using a Pearson’s product-moment correlation which showed there was a strong relationship between the three instruments. The correlation between the FES-I and G-SAP is 0,800, FES-I and ABC are -,853 and the correlation between ABC and G-SAP is -, 821.   Conclusion  A strong relationship was found between the Falls Efficacy Scale-International, Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale and the Gait-Specific Attentional Profile. Regardless of having fallen within the past 30 days, a high concern of fear of falling was found, and the most common reason for falls was uneven surfaces such as gardens. / Bakgrund Protesanvändare står inför många tuffa utmaningar dagligen, beroende på såväl fysiska som psykiska faktorer. Det finns en överhängande risk att ramla för individen, en konsekvens av detta är att drabbas av fallrädsla och sedermera individutvecklade hinder i vardagen. Dessa konsekvenser och hinder kan ha stor inverkan på individens hälsa och livskvalitet. Forskningen på detta område är dock begränsad.   Mål Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka protesanvändares rädsla för att ramla, samt omständigheterna kring varför man ramlar, hos individer med underbensamputation i England och Sverige.   Metod Under april 2022 genomfördes en tvärsnittsundersökning i England och Sverige. 11 deltagare rekryterades. Undersökningen riktade sig till individer i England och Sverige som genomgått amputation av nedre extremitet och var minst 18 år. Enkäten bestod av 111 frågor med till största delen slutna frågor. Beskrivande och inferentiella statistikmetoder användes för analys av data.   Resultat Studien visade att 8 st (72,7%) av de 11 deltagarna inte hade upplevt ett fall de senaste 30 dagarna och att den vanligaste fallfrekvensen var ett fall var sjätte månad (54,5%). Två (18,2%) deltagare angav fallolyckor en gång var tredje månad, vilket var den högsta fallfrekvensen som rapporterades i undersökningen. Detta ses som en låg frekvens, men 7 st (63,3%) av de 11 deltagarna upplevde en rädsla för att ramla. En korrelationsanalys mellan Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I), Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC) och Gait-Specific Attentional Profile (G-SAP) utfördes med hjälp av Pearsons produkt-moment korrelationskoefficient, som visade att det fanns ett starkt samband mellan de treinstrumenten. Korrelationen mellan FES-I och G-SAP var 0,800, mellan FES-I och ABC var det -,853 och mellan ABC och G-SAP var det -,821.   Slutsats Ett starkt samband hittades mellan Falls Efficacy Scale-International, Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale, och Gait-Specific Attentional Profile instrumenten. Oavsett om deltagarna hade ramlat under de senaste 30 dagarna, konstaterades en stor oro för att ramla, och den vanligaste fallorsaken var ojämna ytor såsom i trädgårdar.
