The resource curse hypothesis suggests that resource-rich countries (especially oil-dependent economies) show lower economic growth rate as compared to resource-poor countries. We contribute to this literature by providing empirical evidence on a new transmission channel of the resource curse, namely the negative long-run effect of oil rents on the quality of education. Our empirical analysis for more than 70 countries from the period of 1995–2015 shows a significantly positive effect of oil rents on the quantity of education measured by government spending on primary and secondary education. However, we find a robust and negative long-run effect of oil rents dependency on the objective and subjective indicators of quality of education. Further, panel regressions with country and year fixed effects support our cross-country findings on the negative effect of oil rents dependency on the quality of education.

This study has investigated `How does the effective execution of the management tasks assist the District Foundation Phase First Education Specialist to promote quality teaching and learning in Gauteng schools?' This study has considered the concepts `leadership' and `management'. Importantly, it has provided for discussion on the four vital management tasks, for effective management, towards the promotion of quality teaching and learning in Gauteng schools. Quantitative research methodology was employed. The findings suggest that the District Foundation Phase First Education Specialist does perform the four management tasks and does employ strategies for the promotion of quality teaching and learning, but that these need to be improved on, sharpened and enhanced, for effective management, and for the promotion of quality teaching and learning in schools. This study has also revealed that development and professional support of the District Foundation Phase First Education Specialist is called for too. Through use of a basic management model, in this study, suggestions and requirements are presented, and recommendations are made, for the effective execution of the management tasks towards the promotion of quality teaching and learning. Provision is therefore made for an illustration and description of the model, the suggestions and requirements envisaged, critical challenges and recommendations, as well as a motivation for the model. The study has recommended the piloting and implementation of this management model, with District First Education Specialists, in the Gauteng Department of Education. It has further recommended, that with the phasing-in of the Revised National Curriculum Statement, that this management model be trailed. Suggestions have been provided for in this regard. Review of this management model has been accommodated too. Its wider value and meaning for the Gauteng Department of Education, in the contexts of policy revision and educational transformation, has been briefly explored too. The management model suggested clearly seeks to champion effective management practice, and it also seeks to bring about improvements in existing management practice, for the promotion of quality teaching and learning in Gauteng schools. The recommendation made is aimed at contributing towards the promotion of quality teaching and learning in Gauteng schools. / Educational Studies / D. Ed. (Education Management)

Based on the references of analyses about educational institutions, and going over the memory field, this paper aims at the comprehension of how the secondary school teaching was organized in this institution, in a historical period marked by the apparent contradiction between the nature of the elite leaders makers of this teaching degree and the expansion process of the secondary school, and the comprehension of how the memory of a high-quality school was built. To talk about this theme, the school documents, periodicals and pictures were analyzed, besides registers of interviews with persons who took part in the history of the institution / Na presente pesquisa, de natureza histórica, pretendeu-se estudar o ensino secundário no Ginásio Estadual de Jaú, interior do estado de São Paulo, entre os anos de 1946 a 1961, considerado o auge da expansão do ensino secundário. Com base nos referenciais de análise sobre instituições escolares e movimentando-se também no campo da memória, este trabalho visa a compreender como se organizou o ensino secundário nessa instituição, em um período histórico marcado pela aparente contradição entre a natureza de formador das elites condutoras desse grau de ensino e o processo de expansão da escola secundária, e compreender como se construiu a memória de uma escola de qualidade . Para discutir esse tema foram analisados os documentos da escola, periódicos e fotografias, além dos registros de entrevistas com pessoas que fizeram parte da história da instituição

O trabalho é o estudo de um caso crucial (Eckstein) de um município pobre e populoso (Sobral, no Estado nordestino do Ceará) dentro do contexto de um problema de cunho nacional o baixo rendimento sistemático e estrutural dos alunos brasileiros nos testes padronizados nacionais e internacionais, inclusive em relação ao processo escolar mais elementar, que é o processo de alfabetização emerge como um exemplo de sucesso escolar. Todos indicadores educacionais de Sobral mostram uma trajetória consistente e sustentável de melhoria, que descola da dos demais municípios de mesmo porte populacional no Brasil, mas que segue em paralelo ao Estado do Ceará. As perguntas que a pesquisa pretendeu responder são: 1) Como foi que Sobral chegou a alcançar os níveis de desempenho nas provas padronizadas nacionais? Que fatos, políticas públicas ou atores teriam contribuído para que as escolas do Município alcançassem os resultados que justificam o presente estudo? e 2) Seria possível repetir essa experiência em outros municípios do Brasil? Ou seja, é possível sobralizar a educação brasileira?. Os objetivos da investigação foram situar as reformas educacionais do Município no amplo contexto nacional e internacional das reformas do tipo qualidade dos anos 1990/2000, identificando e categorizando os principais fator e componentes de política pública em nível local, estadual e nacional que contribuíram para seu sucesso cotejando-os com teorias existentes e já validadas em outros contextos. Os principais condicionantes das reformas exitosas de Sobral identificados são o conjunto formado por policy, polity e politics: a) um processo de parametrização de expectativas de aprendizagem e de alfabetização (Linhares) que reflete o consenso internacional sobre o tema (policy), b) a adoção institucionalizada de conceitos e práticas de eficácia escolar na gestão pedagógica e escolar da Rede (polity), descritos por Lezotte, Edmonds, Levin e Fullan, e c) um conjunto de lideranças com crenças fortes o suficiente para sustentar uma coalizão longeva (politics), conforme Kingdon, Sabatier e Jenkins, o qual mantém a estabilidade e o aprimoramento contínuo das políticas. Com o primeiro objetivo cumprido e com base nas teorias a eles relacionadas, que, no contexto de Sobral, foram novamente validadas, responde-se a segunda pergunta. Sobralizar ou cearalizar a educação no restante do Brasil depende de ações políticas suficientes para alterar a dinâmica de forças que disputam recursos e poder no âmbito das reformas do tipo qualidade no Brasil (matriz de Wilson e Corrales), com o objetivo de pacificar: a) a polêmica em torno do processo de alfabetização e do estabelecimento de parâmetros ambiciosos de aprendizagem para todos os alunos; b) a profissionalização da instituição escola, fomentando uma cultura de sucesso acadêmico a partir da escola pública e c) o reconhecimento do monitoramento incansável dos processos de aprendizagem para garantir que todos os alunos aprendam de acordo com os parâmetros estabelecidos. / The work is a crucial case study (Eckstein) of a poor and populous Municipality (Sobral, in the Northeastern State of Ceará) within the context of a nationwide problem - the systematic and structural low performance of Brazilian students in national and international standardized tests, including those related to the assessment of the most elementary school process, alphabetization - emerges as an example of school success. All educational indicators in Sobral show a consistent and sustainable improvement track record, which takes off from that of other municipalities of the same population size in Brazil, but which runs parallel to the state of Ceará. The questions that the research intended to answer are: 1) \"How did Sobral reach the levels of performance in national standardized tests? What facts, public policies or actors would have contributed to the municipal schools achieving the results that justify this study? \", and 2)\" Would it be possible to repeat this experience in other municipalities in Brazil? In other words, is it possible to sobralize the Brazilian education? \" The objectives of the research were to situate the educational reforms of the Municipality in the broad national and international context of the quality reforms of 1990/2000, identifying and categorizing the main factors and components of public policy at local, state and national level that contributed to its success by comparing them with existing theories and validated in other contexts. The main determinants of Sobral\'s successful reforms identified are the set of policy, polity and politics: a) a process of parameterization of learning and literacy expectations (Linhares) that reflects the international consensus on the theme (policy), b) the institutionalized adoption of concepts and practices of school effectiveness in the pedagogical and school management of the local Department of Education (polity), described by Lezotte, Edmonds, Levin and Fullan, and c) leaderships with beliefs strong enough to sustain a longstanding political coalition, according to Kingdon, Sabatier and Jenkins, which maintains the stability and the continuous improvement of the policies. With the first objective fulfilled based on pertinent theories, which were, in the context of Sobral, again validated, the second question is answered. \"Sobralizar\" or \"cearalizar\" education in the rest of Brazil depends on political actions sufficient to change the dynamics of forces that compete for resources and power in the scope of reforms of the quality type in Brazil (Wilson and Corrales matrix), in order to pacify: a) the controversy surrounding the literacy process and the establishment of ambitious learning parameters for all students; b) the professionalization of the school institution, fostering a culture of academic success from the public school, and c) recognition of relentless monitoring of learning processes to ensure that all students learn according to established parameters.

O ensino fundamental brasileiro passou por grandes transformações nos últimos trinta anos: o acesso foi praticamente universalizado, os municípios ganharam importância nas políticas educacionais, as instituições privadas se consolidaram, políticas de avaliação foram instituídas e a preocupação com a qualidade do ensino se tornou prioritária. O objetivo da presente dissertação é analisar essas transformações e retratar a situação atual do ensino fundamental. Para isso, a análise se concentrará na mesorregião Sul/Sudoeste de Minas, comparando-a a Minas Gerais e ao Brasil. A dissertação é composta por dois artigos. O primeiro deles adota uma visão mais ampla: ele apresenta as linhas gerais das mudanças no ensino fundamental em 1991, 2000 e 2010, em três níveis regionais (Brasil, Minas Gerais e no Sul/Sudoeste de Minas Gerais), em relação à expectativa de anos de estudo, taxa de frequência bruta e taxa de frequência líquida. Além disso, o artigo também fornece uma visão mais detalhada do ensino fundamental no Sul/Sudoeste de Minas em relação ao número de instituições de ensino básico, número de matrículas por dependência administrativa (federal, estadual, municipal e privada). Por sua vez, o objetivo do segundo artigo é investigar a relação entre gastos públicos e desempenho educacional, concentrando-se no ensino fundamental público municipal do Sul/Sudoeste de Minas Gerais. O primeiro artigo indicou que não há falta de escolas nem de vagas para os alunos, no entanto, há uma forte variação entre a quantidade de escolas e de matrículas dos municípios de pequeno e médio porte. Por sua vez, o segundo artigo indicou que a correlação entre despesas e desempenho escolar é fraca, o que indica que o processo ensino-aprendizagem não depende apenas da quantidade de recursos financeiros. De acordo com a metodologia empregada, os municípios de menor porte são mais eficientes. Portanto, os principais resultados do trabalhos são a constatação de que administrar os recursos aplicados à educação é tão ou mais importante que a quantidade despendida e que a mesorregião Sul/Sudoeste de Minas Gerais não se distância consideravelmente do padrão educacional público brasileiro. / Brazilian elementary education faced major transformations in the last thirty years: access to the education was practically universalized, municipalities gained importance in educational policies, private institutions were consolidated, evaluation policies were instituted and concern with the quality of education became a priority. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze these transformations and expose the current situation of elementary education in the country. In order to do so, the analysis will focus on the South/Southwest mesoregion of Minas Gerais, comparing it to Minas Gerais state and Brazil. The dissertation is composed by two papers. The first one adopts a broader view: it presents the main lines of changes in elementary education in 1991, 2000 and 2010, at three regional levels (Brazil, Minas Gerais and South/Southwest mesoregion of Minas Gerais) concerning the expected years of study and school frequency rate (both gross and net). In addition to that, the paper also provides a more detailed view of elementary education in the South/Southwest mesoregion of Minas Gerais concerning the number of basic education schools and number of enrollments per administrative dependency (federal, state, municipal and private). In turn, the purpose of the second paper is to investigate the relationship between public expenditures with education and educational performance focusing on municipal public elementary education in the South/Southwest mesoregion of Minas Gerais. The first paper found no shortage of schools or places for students, however there is a strong variation between the number of schools and enrollment of small-sized municipalities and the medium ones. On the other hand, the second paper showed that the correlation between expenditure and school performance is weak, indicating that the teaching-learning process does not depend exclusively on the amount of financial resources. According to the methodology employed, smaller municipalities are more efficient than medium and large ones. Therefore, the main results of the study are the observation that managing the resources applied to education is more important than the amount spent and that the South/Southwest mesoregion of Minas Gerais does not differ considerably from the Brazilian public educational profile.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Luiz Felipe César Kingeski_.pdf: 2504720 bytes, checksum: 5c653e63300d3739954366aeba52e691 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-06-06 / CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / O presente estudo de caso busca compreender, a partir da articulação das políticas educacio-nais, história da instituição escolar e dos processos de gestão, como se dá a qualidade na edu-cação do Colégio Estadual Augusto Meyer, no município de Esteio/RS. Como objetivo cen-tral está a compreensão dos elementos que caracterizam a qualidade da educação, na institui-ção. Como objetivos específicos o registro da história da instituição, tanto na perspectiva dos atores como na dos seus documentos, e, analisar os processos de gestão empreendidos na es-cola tendo em vista a busca da questão da qualidade na educação. Na metodologia foi utiliza-do o estudo de caso com inspiração etnográfica, os dados foram levantados a partir de entre-vistas, acervos bibliográficos da própria escola e documentos oficiais. As entrevistas foram realizadas com os gestores e antigos professores perfazendo o cruzamento com o acervo bi-bliográfico e o referencial teórico acerca da qualidade da educação. Neste trabalho é compre-endido que a busca pela qualidade na educação está intimamente vinculada a uma visão de mundo que compreende a escola como saber/conhecimento/aprendizagem. A narrativa refe-rente à história da escola foi organizada em três fases distintas ao longo do período compre-endido de 1973/2012, abrangendo toda história da escola desde a sua fundação até a atualida-de. Também foram designados quatro processos de gestão empreendidos no Colégio Estadual Augusto Meyer – focados na qualidade da educação em infraestrutura; recursos humanos; gestão e organização do trabalho escolar e a relação comunidade-escola. Cada processo anali-sa a qualidade na educação com um foco diferente, todos relacionados com a história da esco-la, e seus processos de gestão. Como resultado foi identificado que as várias políticas educa-cionais adotadas, os processos de gestão empreendidos e a história da instituição escolar ca-racterizam fatores de qualidade. Quanto às fases da instituição, em um primeiro momento encontramos uma escola com alto investimento em um programa modelo para a época, nos anos 1980 passa por uma crise em pleno processo de redemocratização do país e com o au-mento da escolarização e acesso a escola, e, num terceiro momento, ocorre a retomada de sua qualidade com um grupo gestor novo e empreendedor. A qualidade no Colégio Augusto Me-yer não é um processo caracterizado apenas por ter uma estrutura diferenciada herdada das Escolas Polivalentes, nem apenas pelas políticas educacionais dos períodos, também não pode ser atribuída a um grupo gestor de determinada fase. A qualidade no Colégio Estadual Augus-to Meyer pode ser atribuída ao conjunto interconectado de todos estes fatores. / This case study seeks to understand, based on the articulation of educational policies, school history and management processes, how is the quality of education at Colégio Estadual Au-gusto Meyer in the city of Esteio/RS. The main object focuses on the understanding of the elements that characterize the quality of education in the institution. The specific objectives address the history of the institution both from the actors and documents perspectives, and the analysis of the management processes undertaken in the school, aiming at the issue of educa-tion quality. A case study based on the ethnographic inspiration was conducted as the meth-odology. The data were collected from interviews, school’s library collections and official documents. The interviews were conducted with managers and former teachers and the an-swers were compared to the bibliographic data and theoretical foundation on the quality of education. It is understood that the search for quality in education is closely linked to a worldview that points the school as a source of knowledge/learning. The narrative concerning the school's history was organized in three phases and involves the period between 1973 and 2012, covering the entire school history from its foundation to the present day. It was also designated four management processes undertaken at Colégio Estadual Augusto Meyer, which focus on the education quality in infrastructure, human Resources, management and organization of schoolwork and the school-community relationship. Each process analyzes the quality of education with a different focus, but all of them are related to the school's history. It also analyzes their management processes. As a result it was identified that the various adopt-ed educational policies, the undertaken management processes and the history of the school feature quality factors. Concerning the phases of the institution, it was found in the beginning a school with high investment in a model program for the time. In the 1980s it goes through a crisis during the country's democratization process and the increasing of education and access to school. In a third moment, it resumes the quality with a new management and entrepreneur group. The quality of Colégio Estadual Augusto Meyer is not a process characterized only by having a differentiated structure inherited from Polyvalent Schools, neither by the educational policies of the periods and the manager group of a certain phase. The quality of Colégio Es-tadual Augusto Meyer can be attributed to the interconnected set of all these factors.

Nossos resultados indicam que os alunos de ensino médio respondem com mais e melhores matrículas no ensino superior após um aumento na qualidade da educação no ensino médio. Um ambiente escolar melhor aumenta a probabilidade dos estudantes em (i) ir para o ensino superior, (ii) ser aceito em universidades públicas e em cursos de alta qualidade e seletivos, (iii) de estarem estudando em tempo-integral. Estes efeitos parecem ser intermediados pela admissão ao ensino superior através de políticas de ações afirmativas (cotas). Uma redução nas opcões de trabalhar e apenas trabalhar (não estudar) também são detectadas. Estes resultados podem ser interpretados como evidências sugestivas da existência de restrição à crédito ou de heterogeneidade nos returnos à educação. / This study makes use of the “Jovem de Futuro” program, an experimental intervention in Brazilian public high schools, to estimate the impact of quality of education on college and labor market entry. Our results indicate that high school students respond with more and better college enrollment after an increase in the quality of high school education. A better high school environment boosts the probability of students (i) to attend college, (ii) to be accepted into public colleges and into high quality and selective majors, (iii) and to be studying full time. These effects seem to be intermediated with admission through affirmative action policies (quotas). A reduction in working and only working (not studying) status is also detected. These results can be interpreted as suggestive evidence of the existence of credit constraints or heterogeneity in the returns to schooling function.
