Objetivou-se com esse estudo analisar a importância da gestão participativa para o desenvolvimento das escolas públicas estaduais e municipais do Distrito de Icoaraci, município de Belém, segundo a visão de seus gestores. Na revisão da literatura, foram analisados os aspectos significativos, os avanços e os percalços, percebidos quanto ao processo de desenvolvimento educacional no Brasil. Também foram enfatizados os caminhos e descaminhos da gestão escolar, e a importância de promover a gestão democrática nas escolas. Em campo, foi realizada uma pesquisa, com abordagem quantitativa, de nível descritivo. A amostra foi definida por meio do número de escolas existentes no Distrito, sendo, composta por 120 gestores escolares entre diretores, vice-diretores, administradores e coordenadores pedagógicos. O instrumento utilizado foi um questionário contendo 61 perguntas. Os dados foram analisados e tabulados com o auxílio do software SPHINX. Os principais avanços educacionais obtidos pelas escolas que praticam a gestão compartilhada, segundo a visão dos gestores, foram a existência de órgãos colegiados como o conselho escolar e o conselho de classe, a participação da escola e comunidade na elaboração do projeto político pedagógico. Ao se comparar as formas de gestão praticadas, contatou-se que os gestores que trabalham em ambas as escolas se destacaram quanto ao desenvolvimento de práticas democráticas nas escolas em que atuam. Foi possível concluir que os gestores têm se empenhado em implementar uma gestão participativa, entretanto as forças contrárias ao trabalho democrático são fatores que dificultam e impedem, na maioria das vezes, a ação. Dentre os principais fatores dificultadores foram apontados a falta de valorização profissional, e o autoritarismo e individualismo de profissionais da escola. / The objective of this study to analyze the importance of participatory management for the development of public schools and municipal Icoaraci District, city of Belém, according to the vision of its managers. In reviewing the literature were analyzed, significant aspects, advances and obstacles, perceived as the process of educational development in Brazil. Were also emphasized the ups and downs of school management and the importance of promoting democratic management in schools, aiming at the participation of the school community. In the field, a search was conducted with a quantitative approach, the descriptive level. The sample was defined by the number of existing schools in the district and is composed of 120 managers from school principals, vice principals, administrators and coordinators. The instrument was a questionnaire containing 61 questions. Data were tabulated and analyzed with the aid of the Sphinx software. The main educational advances made by schools engaged in shared management, through the perspective of managers, were the existence in its interior of the collegiate bodies such as the school council and class council, the school and community participation in developing the political project teaching and the opening of school space for the local community. Comparing the forms of management practiced by state and local public schools that contacted the managers who work at both schools stood out as the development of democratic practices in schools where they work. It can be concluded that managers are struggling to implement a participatory management, however the forces opposed to democratic work are factors that hinder and prevent, in most cases, the action. Among the main factors hindering included lack of professional advancement, and authoritarianism and individualism of school professionals.

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.

The public school of Vanderbilt, Texas is in the process of building a band. The steady growth of the band will depend upon a long-range planning program. It is the band director's aim to set up such a long-range plan to cover the five years from the 1947 school year and including the 1952 school year. The following chapters will cover most of the phases of the band's work, and that of the director's work, and his relation to the band and the community.

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.

The problem and purpose of this study is to attempt to establish a reasonably accurate basis for planning a program of educating prospective public school instrumental music teachers that meets the demands of present-day educational practices in the public schools. This present study may provide a simplification of the methods of teaching instrumental classes at the college level through a criticism of the preparation of instrumental teachers in an effort to discover specific contributing elements that assist the instrumental teacher to teach economically and effectively by making an investigation into the factors involved in teaching techniques that depend upon the acquisition of instrumental performance skills and upon practical principles of procedure in organizing and teaching instrumental music in the public schools.

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.

Teacher attrition is a major concern of educational systems. Research has investigated causes of attrition but have primarily neglected the role of teachers' values. The aim of this study is to explore how teachers prioritize four different factors: salary, administrative support, medical benefits, and teaching difficulty. Teachers (448) responded to a survey that asked them to (a) order the four factors by importance, (b) decide between job offers that differed with regards to these factors (e.g., a job with better salary or better administrative support), and (c) report information about teachers' characteristics. Data analysis involved exploring how teachers with differing characteristics prioritized these factors. Additionally, two-step cluster analysis was used to create seven distinct profiles of how teachers ranked the four factors. Findings indicate that teachers in this sample tended to value salary over the other factors. Medical benefits and teaching difficulty were not seen to be very important to teachers. Despite these overall trends, results further suggest that there is a large amount of variation in how teachers rank these factors and that some characteristics, primarily those related to household situations, had a significant impact on teachers' values. Teachers who had less responsibilities for others (e.g., not a primary wage earner, higher household income, married) tended to prioritize other factors over salary.
