No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2008-03-25 / Nowadays the Brazilian Education passes through a period of conflicts in all levels, but more specifically in the Basic Education. These conflicts are related to several problems like social disagreements in family, absence of educational work in group, lack of available sums of money for Education, increase and vulgarization of violence, among so many other factors, that have interfered directly in the work developed at scholl. The research itself justifies that, by giving importance to the question of the development of a democratical and participative school management, in which the most people who integrate the school have voices and participate of discussions and actions to minimize such problems. Involved by these perspectives, the research was based on two questions: Is it possible to develop a democratic management in a public school of Basic Education? Which is the way to be followed to this realization? The purpose of this study is to identify the main challenges faced by the manager team in a school of State Basic Education that compromise the development of the democratical participative management and, by means of this identification, to elaborate proposals which make possible the realization of a pedagogic work where all the involved people have a greater performance. The study was developed having as a basis the qualitative research, through the Study of Case in a school of the public system in a city of São Paulo State, focalizing the day by day of the manager team and all the challenges that compromise, in a relevant way, the taking of decisions in group. The instruments of the research were interviews with the managers, officials, students parents and teachers; observations; and a critical analysis of the School Quadrennial Management Plan (from 2007 to 2010). In that study was observed that the school has an acting school team, but only this participation isn t enough for the complete realization of the Democratic Management. The greatest problems verified at school were: teachers excessive absences, students indiscipline and insufficient time for a continued formation in work. A democratic and participative school is what the school team and the community s great majority have as aim. However, there is perception that this practice doesn t reach its plenitude by finding several obstacles. It is understood that the engagement to win such obstacles is all the citizens duty who want to act positively on the society and that the school is the main space where mentalities are build, being they democratic or not. At the end of the research came to the conclusion that there are possibilities of building a school where the management distinguishes by the democracy in its decisions. The division of tasks, the greatest compromising of all school team with the daily problems, and the disposability of more spaces for the continued formation in work are proposals that appear in this scenery and may have a positive result if can figure on the changing of the whole team s mentality. / Atualmente a Educação Brasileira passa por um período de conflitos em todos os níveis, porém mais especificamente na Educação Básica. Estes conflitos estão relacionados a diversas problemáticas como: desajustes sociais na família, ausência de trabalho educacional em equipe, falta de verbas em Educação, crescimento e banalização da violência, entre tantos outros fatores, que acabam interferindo diretamente no trabalho desenvolvido na escola. A pesquisa se justifica, por entender a relevância à questão do desenvolvimento de uma gestão escolar democrática e participativa, em que a maior parte dos sujeitos da escola tenha vozes e participe de discussões e ações para minimizar tais problemas. Envolvida por essas perspectivas, a pesquisa foi norteada por duas questões: É possível desenvolver uma gestão democrática na escola pública de Educação Básica? Qual o caminho a ser seguido para essa realização?. O objetivo deste trabalho é identificar os principais desafios enfrentados pela equipe gestora de uma escola de Educação Básica Estadual que comprometem o desenvolvimento da gestão democrática participativa e, por meio desta identificação, elaborar propostas que possibilitem a realização de trabalho pedagógico em que haja maior atuaçãoparticipação nas decisões de todos os sujeitos da escola. O trabalho foi desenvolvido tendo com suporte a pesquisa qualitativa, através de Estudo de Caso em uma escola da rede pública do interior do Estado de São Paulo, focalizando-se o dia a dia da equipe gestora e todos os desafios que comprometem, de modo relevante, a tomada de decisões em equipe. Os instrumentos da pesquisa foram entrevistas com os gestores, funcionários, alunos, pais de alunos e professores; observações; e uma análise crítica do Plano de Gestão Quadrienal da Escola (2007 a 2010). Observou-se que a escola tem um colegiado atuante, porém apenas a participação dos colegiados não dá conta da realização plena da Gestão Democrática.; Os maiores problemas verificados na escola foramsão: as excessivas ausências dos professores, a indisciplina dos alunos e a carência de tempo para uma formação continuada em serviço. Uma escola democrática participativa é o que a grande maioria da equipe escolar e a comunidade almejamdesejam. Porém, há uma percepção de que esta prática não se concretiza na sua plenitude, por esbarrar em vários obstáculos. Entende-se que o empenho em vencer taisestes obstáculos é dever de todo cidadão que quer atuar positivamente transformar na sociedade, na medida em que a escola é o principal espaço onde se constroemói mentalidades, sejam elas democráticas ou não. Ao final da pesquisa chegou-se àa conclusão de que há possibilidades de se construirter uma escola em que a com a gestão que prima pela democracia nas suas decisões. A divisão de tarefas, o maior comprometimento de toda a equipe escolar com osnos problemas diários, a disponibilização de mais espaços para formação continuada em serviço são propostas que surgem nesse cenário e que podem ter um resultado positivo se contar com a mudança de mentalidade de toda a equipe.

This investigation is to determine the extent of male participation in home economics courses in public schools. Related questionnaires were completed by participants and results tabulated. It was determined that the student's own interest, and their perception of how homemaking will help later are influencing factors for enrollment in homemaking classes. Food preparation, getting along with others, grooming, clothing selection and construction and using new equipment properly are areas of interest to male students. The belief that homemaking is for girls, and the lack of interest in the content and activities of homemaking classes account for the low male participation. Community understanding, friendly attitudes of counselors, a well equipped department, and practical homemaking courses could attract more male participation.

The purpose of this study was to determine changes necessary to cause Texas public school band programs to conform to a recommended standard.

School districts providing busing services for students who live too far to walk to school. In many districts a fleet of school buses is used in sequence to transport high school students, then middle school students, and then elementary school students. The result is that high school classes must start much earlier in the morning than the elementary school, and buses may traverse similar routes three times each morning and afternoon. In light of recent research on the benefits of later high school start times and the need to control transportation costs, school districts are seeking efficient school bus routing plans that meet student needs at low cost. This study uses 2018 data for schools in Northampton, Massachusetts, to identify the potential to achieve two objectives: 1) start the high school classes as late as possible in the day, and 2) minimize the cost of busing. The proposed procedure makes use of existing school bus data to optimize bus routes, which can be applicable for smaller cities. A revised routing plan that mixes high school and middle school students on the same buses allows the high school to start 30 minutes later while reducing total school bus operations.
