The subject of this research is about the history of the School Santa Tereza, an educational institution in Santa Tereza Farm, located in the city of Uberlandia (District of the City), between the years 1934 and 1953, when the majority of the population was living in rural area. The central problematic question that I tried to respond from this issue concerns the role played for this school in provide schooling for their students. The general purpose of the research was to (re)construct the history of this educational institution and grasp some aspects of school culture that permeated the school of the municipality of Uberlandia in that period. Specific purposes were: the context of rural education in Uberlandia, as well as in Minas Gerais and in the country; scrutinize the relationship between this education and the local, state and national society; understand the interactions between school culture in that institution under space focus and the elements that make up the culture through the universe where it installs a rural school; and finally, ask about the representation of backwardness of the rural universe constructed and appropriated for urban society. To meet these goals, the following sources were consulted: bibliography literature; newspapers and magazines; minutes and reports of inspection; registration books; daily class schedules and a notebook of a student of that school. The oral interviews with former students, former teachers and other people involved in the process in general were also employed as a source. The results of investigation indicate that rural schools of Uberlandia city in the period under study have a considerable quantitative growth. This fact was related to political interests, and to fight delay and lack of civility as terms recommended to rural areas. The traditional foundations of education taught in these schools improved the situation of the municipal school concerning illiterate rate compared with the reality of Minas Gerais and Brazil. Thus, the rural space is formed as a place of school, but characterized by little investment of the municipal government concerning the material and human resources. In this context the Municipal Rural School Santa Tereza fulfilled the role of literacy only, without, however neglecting the principles of moral and patriotic values. But its educational practices were distant from the inter-relationship school/life recommended by State legislation, since the school activities tended to idealize the urban area of the city of Uberlandia showing their physical and aesthetic development, to the detriment of peasant reality, practice come of positive representations of the first rather than last. This antagonism between rural/urban, in which the first would be linked to the perception of tradition, customs and human nature, while the second, the development and progress are representations of the European vision of reality stressed from changes with the modernity, which is spread through a large part of the American continent, particularly in Brazil. The consequences of this dichotomy for the rural school and in particular for the Rural School Santa Tereza increase the speech of comparison between rural schools and urban schools. / O tema desta pesquisa refere-se à história da Escola Santa Tereza, instituição de ensino existente na Fazenda Santa Tereza, localizada no município de Uberlândia (Distrito da Cidade), nos anos de 1934-1953, época em que a maioria da população residia na zona rural. A problematização que tentamos responder a partir deste tema diz respeito à função que esta escola exerceu na escolarização de seus alunos. O objetivo geral da pesquisa foi (re)construir a história desta instituição de ensino e apreender alguns aspectos da cultura escolar que permearam essa escola do município de Uberlândia, no período em questão. Os objetivos específicos foram: contextualizar o ensino rural do município em Uberlândia, bem como em Minas Gerais e no país; perscrutar a relação desse ensino com a sociedade local, estadual e nacional; aventar as interações existentes entre a cultura escolar analisada sob o enfoque do espaço e os elementos que conformam a cultura que atravessa o universo rural onde se instala a escola; e por último, indagar a respeito da representação de atraso do universo rural construída e apropriada pela sociedade urbana. Para responder a esses objetivos, consultamos as seguintes fontes: bibliográficas, jornais e revistas, atas e relatórios de inspeção, livros de matrículas, diários de classe e cadernos de um aluno da referida escola. As entrevistas orais com ex-alunos, ex-professores e outros envolvidos no processo de um modo geral, também foram empregadas como fonte. Os resultados aos quais chegamos possibilitam afirmar que as escolas rurais do município de Uberlândia no período em estudo obtiveram um crescimento quantitativo considerável. Fato relacionado a interesses políticos, bem como ao combate do atraso e da incivilidade , estes últimos preconizados ao meio rural. O ensino de bases tradicionais ministrado nestas escolas melhorou a situação escolar do município referente ao índice de analfabetos em comparação com a realidade mineira e nacional. Assim, o espaço campesino se constituiu como lugar de escola, porém caracterizado por poucos investimentos do poder público municipal concernente a recursos materiais e humanos. Neste contexto a Escola Rural Municipal Santa Tereza cumpriu o papel de apenas alfabetizar, sem, contudo descuidar dos princípios morais e de valores patrióticos. Porém suas práticas educativas estavam distantes da inter-relação escola/vida, recomendado pela Legislação Estadual, uma vez que as atividades escolares tenderam a idealizar o espaço urbano da cidade de Uberlândia evidenciando seu desenvolvimento material e estético, em detrimento da realidade campesina, prática oriunda das representações positivas do primeiro em detrimento do último. Este antagonismo entre rural/urbano, em que vinculada ao primeiro estaria à percepção de tradição, de costumes humanos e naturais, enquanto ao segundo a de desenvolvimento e progresso, são representações alvitres da visão européia de realidade, acentuada a partir das transformações ocorridas com a modernidade, que se disseminou por grande parte do continente americano, em particular pelo Brasil. As conseqüências desta dicotomia para a escola rural e em particular para a Escola Rural Municipal Santa Tereza avigorou o discurso de equiparação das escolas rurais às escolas urbanas. / Mestre em Educação

Este estudo apresenta uma cartografia do processo de inclusão digital em uma escola do campo, de classe multisseriada, situada no interior do Rio Grande do Sul, contemplada pelo Programa Nacional de Educação no Campo em 2013. Busca-se responder à pergunta “Que movimentos em direção ao letramento e emancipação digital podem ser observados, identificados ou verificados em uma comunidade rural a partir da inserção de dispositivos móveis na modalidade de um laptop por aluno em uma escola do campo?”. O estudo visa a observar, acompanhar, cartografar e compreender os movimentos da comunidade escolar e verificar se há mudanças provocadas pela inserção dos laptops indicando ações de letramento digital. Tendo em vista que a proposta do estudo é de acompanhar um processo em andamento, optou-se pela cartografia como inspiração para o método de investigação, pois permite produzir e construir os dados da pesquisa enquanto se realizam as observações das práticas em sala de aula, as entrevistas com os estudantes e professores, e os registros no diário de bordo da pesquisadora. Nessa caminhada, enquanto registra suas observações, cartografando suas percepções com relação aos sujeitos-atores da pesquisa, a pesquisadora se transforma também em um dos atores do processo. A produção dos dados é guiada por cinco pistas, quais sejam: (1) funcionamento da atenção no trabalho do cartógrafo; (2) cartografar é acompanhar processos; (3) cartografar é habitar um território existencial; (4) por uma política da narratividade e os registros em um diário de bordo; e (5) a entrevista de manejo cartográfico e a experiência do dizer. A observação e registro dos movimentos observados permite delinear algumas mudanças na rotina e nas práticas escolares fornecendo subsídios para a análise de mudanças que apontam para situações de letramento e emancipação digital que ultrapassam os limites da sala de aula e da escola. Essa análise perpassa pelos conceitos de autonomia, interação e solidariedade, cooperação e respeito mútuo, emancipação e empoderamento, cultura digital, letramento digital e emancipação digital. Embora a inclusão digital seja um dos objetivos do Pronacampo, os movimentos identificados no estudo e que efetivamente indicam inclusão e letramento digitais são, de fato, provocados pelo comprometimento e envolvimento da comunidade escolar em explorar algumas práticas com os laptops e em buscar soluções para problemas de conectividade e manutenção dos equipamentos. Entre esses movimentos, encontra-se a busca pelo acesso à internet nas residências de alguns estudantes como alternativa à dificuldade de captação de sinal por causa da localização da escola. Também é possível identificar movimentos em direção ao letramento digital cultivado pela postura das professoras em provocar situações para que as crianças explorem recursos e possibilidades de uso dos laptops. Mesmo sem haver conexão à internet na escola, ações espontâneas com algumas crianças se tornando provedores de conteúdos digitais são acolhidas e valorizadas, em um movimento que permite que exercitem seu protagonismo na busca de soluções e alternativas para os problemas encontrados. Com a recente contratação do serviço de banda larga é possível pensar que novos movimentos de letramento e, quiçá, de emancipação digital venham a acontecer no futuro. / This study maps the process of digital inclusion of a rural school, in a mixed-grade classroom system, located in the countryside in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, and which has been included under the Programa Nacional de Educação no Campo (Pronacampo) in 2013. The research aims to answer the question “What movements towards digital literacy and digital emancipation can be observed, identified or verified in a rural community from the introduction of 1:1 laptops in a rural school?” The study aims to observe, follow, plot, and understand of those movements and then check whether there are any changes indicating actions of digital literacy in this school. Considering the purpose of following an ongoing process, Deleuze and Guattari’s cartography was chosen as an inspiration for the research method, since it allows producing and building research data as classroom observations, interviews with the students and the teachers, and journal records are carried out. In this journey, while she plots maps of her remarks and perceptions regarding the actors in the research, the researcher becomes herself one of the actors of the process too. Data production and analysis follow five tracks: (1) how attention functions in the researcher’s work; (2) plotting is following processes; (3) plotting is inhabiting the existential territory; (4) for a narrating policy and records in a journal; and (5) handling an interview as per cartography and the experience of what is said. By observing and registering movements that were observed allow to outline a few changes in that routine and in the school practices providing analysis material for the changes that point to situations of digital literacy and digital emancipation situations that go beyond the limits of the classroom and the school. The analysis is carried out considering concepts of autonomy, interaction and solidarity, cooperation and mutual respect, empowerment and emancipation, digital culture, digital literacy and digital emancipation. Although digital inclusion is one of the goals set by Pronacampo, the movements identified in the study and that effectively indicate some digital inclusion and literacy are actually provoked by the community’s commitment and engagement in trying to find solutions for problems related to connectivity and maintenance of the equipment. Among these movements, there is the initiative of having internet access at some of the students’ homes as an alternative for the limiting conditions to capturing internet signal due to school’s location. It is also possible to identify some movements towards digital literacy, which seem to be anchored on teachers’ provoking situations so that the children can explore resources and possibilities available in the use of the laptops. Even though there was no internet connection at school, some students spontaneously become the providers of digital content, and this is welcomed and valued by their teachers. This is interpreted as a movement towards allowing these children to exercise their protagonism in the search of solutions and alternatives for the problems they had to face. With the school recently having hired a private service of wide band connection, it might be possible to think those new movements toward digital literacy and – who knows – digital emancipation may take place in the future.

Por se tratar de um sistema que exige muitos recursos, seus custos merecem destaque. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho é contribuir ao planejamento da etapa técnico-financeira do transporte escolar rural do Instituto Federal de Roraima, Campus Novo Paraíso (IFRR/CNP). As rotas típicas do ônibus escolar incluem a coleta dos alunos pela manhã, em diferentes trajetos municipais e intermunicipais, e no final da tarde o retorno pelo mesmo percurso deixando os alunos próximos às suas casas. As dificuldades são várias, como tempo muito longo de deslocamento dos alunos, lugares ociosos nos ônibus alocados ao transporte, custos elevados, entre outros. O método adotado no trabalho foi a pesquisa-ação, sendo qualitativa a forma de abordar o problema, a natureza da pesquisa caracteriza-se como sendo aplicada, e o quanto aos objetivos, caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa descritiva empírico-normativa. Os resultados obtidos com este estudo, mostraram-se relevantes para sua aplicação, uma vez que a sistemática proposta pelo Geipot, permitiu a identificação e simulação dos custos aplicados aos diferentes tipos de veículos, possibilitando a flexibilização na substituição do veículo contratado pelo mais vantajoso, demonstrando eficiência na obtenção dos resultados e nos gastos realizados pela administração pública. Como resultado adicional importante, verificouse que há vantagens e desvantagens no contrato vigente, cabendo ao gestor público a decisão de alterar o contrato / Rural school transport is considered by many researchers, a complex problem due to high costs, inefficiency in providing services, safety restrictions, multiple routes and uncertainties regarding the daily number of passengers, among other problems. Because it is a system that requires a lot of resources, its costs require special mention. In this context, the objective of this work is to contribute to the planning of the technical-financial stage of rural school transportation of the Federal Institute of Roraima, Campus Novo Paraiso (IFRR / CNP). Typical school bus routes include students taking in the morning, in different municipal and intermunicipal routes, and by the end of the afternoon return by the same route leaving students close to their homes. The difficulties are many, such as very long time of student displacement, idle places on buses allocated to transportation, high costs, among others. The method adopted in this work was the action research, being qualitative the way to approach the problem, the nature of the research is characterized as being applied, and the objectives, is characterized as a descriptive empirical-normative research. The results obtained with this study were relevant for its application, since the system proposed by Geipot allowed the identification and simulation of the costs applied to the different types of vehicles, allowing the flexibilization in the replacement of the vehicle contracted by the most advantageous, demonstrating efficiency in obtaining the results and in the expenditures made by the public administration. As an important additional result, it was verified that there are advantages and disadvantages in the current contract, being the public manager the decision to change the contract

In the opening chapter, it starts with the presentation of the origins of the research and the importance of studying the Pedagogical Projects, aiming to explain the importance of these documents for formal education and the relevance of researching them; then it is discussed the historical and economic context of emergence of the laws that regulate the implementation of these documents, where is given a short historical resume in order to elucidate some relations between the Brazilian society, public schools and some international institutions; finally it is presented the Marxian concept of emancipation, through a careful analysis of The Jewish Question, Marx's work that addresses the subject more specifically. In the second chapter there is the historical contextualization of the period of preparation of the Marxian dialectical method and is described its systematization; are also delineated the stages of the performance of the research, under a dialectical perspective, and determined the categories of analysis. Finally, the third chapter is devoted to the synthesis. In this step is performed the reelaboration of the chaotic original vision, when it is found out that the analyzed documents have the intention of forming emancipated citizens under the standpoint of political emancipation, since their contents express intentions and principles directed to it / O trabalho objetiva investigar a intencionalidade formativa expressa nos Projetos Pedagógicos das Escolas Municipais de Ensino Fundamental completo da zona rural da cidade de Pelotas/RS, tendo como referência a noção marxiana de emancipação, através de uma análise documental de cunho filosófico, fundamentada no método dialético marxiano. No capítulo inicial, parte-se da apresentação da origem da pesquisa e da importância de estudar os Projetos Pedagógicos, momento que visa explicar a importância destes documentos para a educação formal e a relevância de pesquisá-los; a seguir, discute-se o contexto histórico-econômico do surgimento das leis que regulamentam a implementação destes documentos, onde é feita uma pequena retomada histórica, a fim de elucidar algumas relações entre a sociedade brasileira, a escola pública e algumas instituições internacionais; por fim, apresentase o conceito marxiano de emancipação, através de uma análise criteriosa d A Questão Judaica, obra em que Marx trata do assunto de forma mais específica. No segundo capítulo, é feita a contextualização histórica do período de elaboração do método dialético marxiano e descrita a sua sistematização; procede-se ainda o delineamento das etapas de realização da pesquisa, sob uma ótica dialética e a determinação das categorias de análise. Por fim, o terceiro capítulo é dedicado à síntese. Neste passo é realizada a reelaboração da visão caótica inicial, momento em que se constata que os documentos analisados apresentam a intencionalidade de formar cidadãos emancipados sob o ponto de vista da emancipação política, visto que seus conteúdos expressam intencionalidades e princípios direcionados a esta

The need to transform education from its apartheid past resulted in the introduction of school governing bodies (SGBs). SGBs are democratic structures that allow for stakeholder participation in school matters in line with the demands of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. Section 21 of the South African Schools Act (SASA) (84 of 1996) stipulates specific functions for SGBs. These functions are allocated only on the basis of significant growth in the performance of an SGB. SGBs must apply to be allocated these functions, after satisfying themselves first that they can self–manage their school, and after the MEC has certified the said performance. Schools in the Mpumalanga province were all allocated these functions simultaneously without applying for them. One of the functions that SGBs perform is the establishment and administration of school funds. Because schools are state institutions, SGBs are expected by law to be accountable for the funds they manage. They must account to all stakeholders who contribute to the school fund. To be able to administer the funds, as well as to give proper accountability thereof, SGBs need to have particular financial management and accounting skills. The aim of this study was to investigate the extent to which SGBs are able to account to stakeholders for the school funds they manage. The study further investigated whether the kind of accountability given to parents and the state is “hard” or “soft”. A case study involving three schools: a rural school, a semi-urban school and an urban school, was conducted. SGB members of these schools and officials from the department of education were interviewed for information and also to solicit their opinion on current financial accountability processes. An analysis of official SGB documents was also conducted to strengthen the information gathered through interviews. It has emerged from the findings of the study that some SGBs in Mpumalanga are still experiencing difficulties in following the correct procedures in giving a financial account to parents and the state. There is an indication from the study that capacity to handle finances is still a big challenge for schools that are not in the rich quintile. / Dissertation (MEd (Education Management))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Education Management and Policy Studies / MEd / unrestricted

"It has been the aim of this study, through a survey of a representative number of the public schools in the state of New Mexico, to reveal the extent of instrumental music offered through the mediums of the physical and integrated organizational factors involved, and to show the response to the program through the measurement of student participation." leaf 3

The purpose of this study was to gain an in-depth understanding of whether or not, and how teachers in a resource-constrained rural school sustain their motivation in and commitment to teaching over a life-span. The Social Cognitive Career Theory was chosen as theoretical framework because it recognises the importance that factors in the environment play when the career paths of individuals unfold. A conceptual framework for ‘teacher career resilience’ was developed by merging current thinking on resilience, teacher resilience and career resilience. The life-history design was framed methodologically as biographical research with participatory principles. Teacher participants (n=5, 3=female and 2=male) were selected according to purposive sampling. Data were generated through participatory interview-conversations, which were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim, as well as memory books, joint photograph-taking and field notes in a researcher diary. Five themes emerged from the guided phenomenological analysis process (Hycner, 1985) and narrative comparison. First, this study exposes illiteracy of learners’ parents, demotivated learners, and a negative national teacher fraternity as sources of adversity not previously noted as significant for teachers in rural settings. Second, rural teachers in this study drew strength from their own life experiences of adversity (being from rural areas themselves); and they relied on their own agency in problem solving. Third, in addition participating rural teachers make use of encouraging memories of their own teachers from childhood and partake in informal professional development activities such as collaborative peer discussions rather than mentoring to grow professionally. Fourth, participating teachers in rural resource-constrained South Africa thus use similar internal protective resources (problem solving, strategizing, cognitive restructuring and emotional regulation) in their adaptive coping repertoire to those of other teachers globally. Fifth, teachers did not enter the teaching profession in the same way as has been documented elsewhere; but entered the teaching profession as a result of socio-political and financial influences, chance happenings and the influence of significant teachers in their past. Teachers seem to balance their use of protective resources between internal and external resources in their current practice. Over time, however they draw more on internal protective resources. Teachers conceptualised their teacher career resilience on a continuum: persevering through adversity, both as young children, and as growing professionals. They use their self-efficacy beliefs, embedded in an adversity drenched past, to manage, overcome and cope despite current chronic adversity. Teachers’ overt behavior in adaptive coping processes was dependent on the interrelatedness between their attributes (especially internal protective resources), the environment (chronic adversity) and the continuous loop of influence (appraisal) between these three factors. Teachers became skilled in resilience processes because of the chronic adversity they face. Teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs about their adaptive coping extended beyond what they themselves can achieve to what their efforts in teaching may mean to model hope to learners, as their teachers modelled to them, fostering a certain altruistic career anchor. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / gm2014 / Educational Psychology / unrestricted
