A política de gestão da educação básica na rede estadual de ensino do Rio Grande do Sul (2007 – 2010) : o fortalecimento da gestão gerencial

Amaral, Josiane Carolina Soares Ramos do January 2010 (has links)
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar as implicações trazidas pela política de gestão da educação básica implantada pelo governo de Yeda Crusius para a rede estadual de ensino do RS, compreendendo os processos de negociação e contestação dos diferentes sujeitos envolvidos na constituição de uma agenda para a educação. Levou-se em consideração para o desenvolvimento das análises propostas: 1) a construção das relações políticas, econômicas e sociais a partir da segunda metade do século XX e suas relações com a educação; 2) o desenvolvimento da gestão pública no Brasil e no Rio Grande do Sul e suas relações com as políticas sociais; 3) o desenvolvimento da gestão da educação pública, suas continuidades e rupturas no Brasil e no Rio Grande do Sul; 4) a política de gestão da educação básica na rede estadual de ensino do Rio Grande do Sul (2007-2010). A pesquisa possibilitou caracterizar e contextualizar a política de gestão educacional da rede estadual de ensino, bem como identificar os debates teóricos nacionais e internacionais referentes à gestão pública e à gestão da educação pública. Dessa forma, procurou-se assimilar a incorporação dessas concepções pela política de gestão da educação básica do governo estadual de Yeda Crusius (2007-2010). O estudo foi desenvolvido por meio da análise documental de fontes primárias com base em documentos da política educacional do governo. Para tanto, utilizou-se como forma de sistematizar o processo, o ciclo de políticas a fim de acompanhar diferentes movimentos do governo estadual: o contexto da influência, o contexto da produção de texto e o contexto da prática. Para fins analíticos, a presente pesquisa enfocou os dois primeiros contextos. A investigação da política de gestão educacional do governo de Yeda Crusius e sua relação com correntes teóricas política e econômica juntamente com as correntes da gestão pública possibilitou discutir três pontos de tensão: as concepções de gestão pública; as concepções de gestão educacional; e a constituição de uma agenda para a educação. A identificação e estudo desses eixos possibilitaram a apresentação das diretrizes políticas do governo de Yeda Crusius, dos interlocutores para a construção dessas políticas, da maneira como essa interlocução foi feita e dos instrumentos utilizados, transpostos pelas políticas educacionais de gestão. Essas políticas fortaleceram a visão gerencial na educação, justificando e legitimando a lógica de mercado como indutora de uma qualidade voltada para o sistema do capital. / The following study aimed to examine the implications brought about by the policy of Yeda Crusius` governement management for state schools net of RS, including the processes of negotiation and contestation of different individuals involved in setting up an agenda for education. It was took into consideration to develop the proposed analysis: 1) the construction of political, economic and social relations from the second half of the twentieth century and its relationship with education, 2) the development of public management in Brazil and in Rio Grande do Sul and its relations with social policies, 3) the development of the public education management, its continuities and ruptures in Brazil and in Rio Grande do Sul, 4) the policy of basic education management in state schools in Rio Grande do Sul (2007-2010). The research allowed to characterize and contextualize the educational management politics of state schools, as well as identify the theoretical debates concerning national and international public management and public education management. Thus, the intetion of the study was to assimilate the incorporation of these concepts by policy on basic education management of Yeda Crusius` state government (2007-2010). The study was conducted through documentary analysis of primary sources on documents of governement educational policy. For this, the policy cycle as used in order to follow different movements of state government: the context of influence, context of production of text and context of practice. For analytical purposes, this research focused on the first two contexts. The investigation of the management policy of Yeda Crusius` education management government and its relation to theoretical perspectives along with political and economic currents of public management make possible the discution of three critical points: the concepts of public management, the concepts of educational administration, and the formation of an agenda for education. The identification and study of these aspects make possible the presentation of Yeda Crusius` government policy guidelines, of the interlocutors for the construction of these policies, of the way this dialogue has been made and of the instruments used implemented by educational policies management. These policies strengthened the managerial vision in education, justifying and legitimizing the logic of the market as an inducer of a quality-oriented system of capital. / Cette étude a le but d‘examiner les implications provoquées par la politique de gestion du gouvernement de Yeda Crusius pour le réseau des écoles publiques du Rio Grande do Sul, y compris les processus de négociation et de contestation des différents individus impliqués dans la mise en place d'un programme pour l'éducation. Pour le développement de l‘analyse proposée, on a pris en considération: 1) la construction de relations politiques, économiques et sociaux de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle et sa relation avec l'éducation, 2) le développement de la gestion publique au Brésil et au Rio Grande do Sul et de ses relations avec les politiques sociales, 3) le développement de la gestion de l'éducation publique, ses continuités et ses ruptures au Brésil et au Rio Grande do Sul, 4) la politique de gestion de l'éducation de base dans les écoles publiques du Rio Grande do Sul (2007 - 2010). La recherche a permis de caractériser et de mettre en contexte la politique de gestion de l'éducation des écoles publiques, ainsi que d'identifier les débats théoriques nationaux et internationaux concernant la gestion publique et la gestion de l'éducation publique. Ainsi, l'intention de l'étude était d'assimiler l'intégration de ces concepts par la politique sur la gestion de l'éducation de base du gouvernement de l‘État de Yeda Crusius (2007-2010). L'étude a été réalisée grâce à une analyse documentaire des sources primaires sur des documents de politique éducative de l‘État. Pour y arriver, on a utilisé comme forme de systématisation du processus le cycle de la politique telle qu'elle est utilisée pour suivre les différents mouvements de gouvernement de l'État: le contexte de l'influence, le contexte de la production du texte et le contexte de la pratique. Pour fins d'analyse, cette recherche a porté sur les deux premiers contextes. L'enquête de la politique de gestion de l‘éducation du gouvernement de Yeda Crusius et sa relation avec les perspectives théoriques ainsi que des courants politiques et économiques de gestion publique a rendu possible la discussion de trois points critiques: les concepts de la gestion publique, les concepts de l'administration scolaire et la formation d'um programme pour l'éducation. L'identification et l'étude de ces aspects permettent la présentation des orientations politiques du gouvernement de Yeda Crusius, des interlocuteurs pour la construction de ces politiques, de la manière dont ce dialogue a été fait et des instruments utilisés en oeuvre par la direction des politiques éducatives. Ces politiques renforçant la vision de gestion en matière d'éducation, de justifier et de légitimer la logique du marché comme un indice d'un système axé sur la qualité du capital.

The logic established by this new paradigm is based on a productivist vision and does not establish a proposal for public education guided by an emancipatory practice, that is, to enable students to understand their reality, showing only concern with the improvement of the indexes provided by the state network teaching the assessments established by the Ministry of Education (MEC). The choice for this research demonstrates our interest in contributing to the investigation into the current model of school management of the State Schools of Rio de Janeiro that determines restructuring the work of teachers. The relevance of this research directs to the expansion of knowledge about the reactions that teachers of Ciep Brizol?o 175 Jos? Rego Lins have in relation to the implementation of managerialism as a new paradigm of management of school work in the State Network of Rio State Education from January. For data collection, we use the following instruments: analysis of primary literature sources; analysis of secondary sources; application of a questionnaire with open questions and multiple choice (closed); interviews with key informants and field diary. We find that the social, political and economic management of this new paradigm of school work, conduct search students (workers) a conformation regarding the structure of contemporary society. And because of this, a significant number of teachers as well as the management team, have huge critical to the implementation of GIDE due to her focus the results to be achieved in IDEB instead of seeking to develop a management model that provides students the ability to become emancipated individuals. / Consideramos que o modelo de gerenciamento da educa??o apresentado pelo governo do Estado do Rio de Janeiro transfere aos professores toda a responsabilidade pelos problemas enfrentados na educa??o.

Adorno, has as its object of study the relationship between the school investigated and the community of Vargem Grande. The question that guides this research, is if the mechanisms of management, school-community relationship, existing in the research school ensures the management of this relationship and the consequent care to community demands by the school. The hypotheses suggest there elements and variables that can create noise in the management of this relationship as conflict, administered culture and pseudo-formation of subjects involved and that existing mechanisms in school for guaranteeing school-community relationship, does not guarantee management effective this relationship. The general objective is to investigate the mechanisms of school-community relationship management: the School Council, Class Council and Series, Parent Teacher Association and the Student Government, the latter created by the intervention proposal resulting from this research. Some specific objectives have been established to achieve the general objective, how to parse if the direction of the school investigated is characterized by the dialectic proposed of resumption of sensitization and reflection, as well as others. The methodology of empirical research involved the use of techniques associated with the community study involving a literature review of community history and the studied school, also doing a survey of several other theoretical and academic papers related to the topic, characterizing a case study, where the individual situation is studied in depth to provide a broader understanding of other cases. The results allowed us to confirm our hypothesis that the existence of these management mechanisms, does not automatically guarantee a democratic and participatory management, since it does not happen on a regular basis the ordinary or extraordinary convocations of the School Council, Parent Teacher Association and the Student Government. / La presente Masters tesis llamada "La Gestión de la relacione escuela y la comunidad", con base en la teoría crítica de Theodor W. Adorno, tiene como objeto del estudio la relación entre la escuela y la comunidad, en Vargem Grande. La pregunta que guía la investigación es si los mecanismos de gestión de las relaciones escuela-comunidad disponibles en la escuela investigada, asegura la gestión de esta relación y la consiguiente atención a las demandas de la comunidad por la escuela. Las hipótesis sugieren que hay elementos y variables que pueden crear ruido en la gestión de esta relación como un conflicto, la cultura determinada y la pseudoformação de los sujetos implicados y que los mecanismos existentes en la escuela para garantizar la relación escuela-comunidad, no garantiza la gestión efectiva de esta relación. El objetivo general es investigar los mecanismos de gestión de las relaciones escuela-comunidad: el Consejo Escolar, el Consejo clase y serie, la Asociación de Padres y Maestros y el Gobierno Estudiantil, este último creada por la propuesta de intervención como resultado de esta investigación. Algunos objetivos específicos se establecieron para alcanzar el objetivo general, como analizar si la junta de la escuela investigada se caracteriza por la propuesta dialéctica de la reanudación de la conciencia y la reflexión, así como los demás. La metodología de la investigación empírica implicó el uso de técnicas asociadas con el estudio de la comunidad que implican una revisión de la literatura de la historia de la comunidad y la escuela estudiada, también haciendo un estudio de varios otros trabajos teóricos y académicos relacionados con el tema, caracterizando un estudio de caso donde una situación individual es estudiado en profundidad para proporcionar una comprensión más amplia de otros casos. Los resultados nos permiten confirmar nuestra hipótesis de que la existencia de estos mecanismos de gestión, no garantiza automáticamente una gestión democrática y participativa, puesto que no se produce de forma regular las convocatorias ordinarias y extraordinarias del Consejo Escolar, la Asociación de Padres y Maestros y el gobierno del estudiante. / A presente dissertação denominada “A Gestão da Relação Escola-Comunidade”, fundamentada na teoria crítica de Theodor W.

The management of parent involvement in historically disadvantaged secondary schools in Tshwane West District, Gauteng

Ramadikela, Phillip Mahlodi 06 1900 (has links)
The aim of this study was to examine the management of parent involvement in historically disadvantaged secondary schools in Tshwane West district, Gauteng. A literature study was undertaken to investigate the existing theories and models of parent involvement as well as their practical application. A literature study was also done to explore the historical development of the management of parent involvement in South Africa. The advantages of and barriers to parent involvement were also investigated through the review of both local and international literature. An interpretive, qualitative approach was adopted and an investigation of the management of parent involvement was conducted in three of the selected historically disadvantaged secondary schools in Tshwane West district, Gauteng. In-depth interviews were conducted with principals and focus-group interviews were held with three teachers as well as three members of the School Governing Bodies of each of the three selected schools. The overall impression was that the extent of parent involvement in the education of their children was very minimal due to the inability of the School Management Teams, especially school principals, to initiate, facilitate and sustain organisational structures and management processes which would ensure the effective involvement of parents in the education of their children. As a result of those findings, it was realised that a need existed to equip members of the management teams, including school principals, with appropriate skills that would assist in the implementation and sustenance of effective parent involvement programmes. / Educational Leadership and Management / M.

Botes, Fredrieka Elizabeth 01 1900 (has links)
The aim of this study was to investigate, from an educational management perspective, the factors that influence job satisfaction amongst special needs educators in selected New Zealand special needs schools. A qualitative research method was utilised to investigate the educational management strategies that influence the job satisfaction of special needs educators in selected New Zealand special needs schools. This dissertation presents the findings from a questionnaire on participants’ geographical details and data from related interviews. The findings from this study indicate that the job satisfaction of special needs educators is mainly influenced by factors such as management support, adequate resources, collaborative working relationships, ability of students with special educational needs to progress, and communication, among others. The study makes certain recommendations to help special needs educational managers effectively manage factors that influence job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction for special needs educators. / Educational Studies / M.

Propuesta de mejora para el proceso de supervisión de entidades educativas de una Unidad de Gestión Educativa Local / Improvement proposal for the supervision process of educational entities of a Local Educational Management Unit

Elera Ríos, Sandy Lissett, Sánchez Castillo, Carlos Roberto 03 December 2020 (has links)
El uso de la tecnología en la gestión de la administración pública permite mejorar varias aristas que por lo general se realizan de manera manual, lo que conlleva a demoras y sobrecargas de trabajo. Por ello, la propuesta tiene como objetivo diseñar una solución tecnológica que permita automatizar las actividades manuales que intervienen en el proceso para la Supervisión Educativa, con la finalidad de tener información digitalizada, centralizada y disponible para la organización. Así mismo, se optimizarán los tiempos de respuesta entre las áreas involucradas y una mejor performance de las supervisiones realizadas. Para el desarrollo del proyecto se han divido en diferentes fases, la primera fase está orientada al análisis de la organización, aplicando los conceptos del marco de trabajo de Zachman para conocer la situación actual (AS-IS) del proceso de Supervisión. Así mismo, se definen los objetivos del proyecto. En la segunda fase se analiza y comprende la aplicación de los Student Outcomes en el desarrollo del proyecto. En la tercera fase como conceptos que respaldan el desarrollo del proyecto se encuentra el desarrollo del marco teórico. La cuarta fase comprende el diseño de la propuesta tecnológica, en donde se identifican los requerimientos funcionales y no funcionales, la que nos permite identificar los drivers arquitectónicos. Finalmente, se muestra el diseño de la arquitectura que soportará la estructura del sistema, basado en los conceptos de diseño, estilos arquitecturales y tácticas de diseño. Se culmina, con la estructura de la gestión del proyecto, la cual nos provee un marco de referencia formal para el desarrollo de este. Además, mediante el uso de las buenas prácticas que determina el PMBOK en su sexta edición, logramos alcanzar los resultados y objetivos propuestos. / The use of technology in the management of public administration allows for the improvement of several aspects that are usually carried out manually, which leads to delays and overloads of work. Therefore, the proposal aims to design a technological solution that allows to automate the manual activities involved in the process for Educational Supervision, to have digitized, centralized, and available information for the organization. Likewise, the response times between the areas involved will be optimized and a better performance of the supervisions carried out. For the development of the project have been divided into different phases, the first phase is oriented to the analysis of the organization, applying the concepts of the framework of Zachman to know the current situation (AS-IS) of the process of supervision. Likewise, the project objectives are defined. In the second phase, the application of the Student Outcomes is analyzed and understood in the development of the project. In the third phase, the development of the theoretical framework is considered as a concept that supports the development of the project. The fourth phase includes the design of the technological proposal, where the functional and non-functional requirements are identified, which allows us to identify the architectural drivers. Finally, the design of the architecture that will support the system's structure is shown, based on the design concepts, architectural styles, and design tactics. It culminates with the structure of the project management, which provides a formal framework for the development of this. In addition, using the good practices determined by the PMBOK in its sixth edition, we achieve the proposed results and objectives. / Tesis

Die invloed van die SA skolewet (1996) op dissipline in intermediêre skole in die Namakwa distrik van die Noord-Kaapprovinsie = The influence of the South African schools act (1996) on discipline in intermediate schools in the Namaqua district of the Northern Cape Province

Hoorn, Lukas George 30 June 2006 (has links)
Die doel van hierdie studie van beperkte omvang is om inligting in te samel oor die probleem van dissipline soos dit manifesteer in Intermediêre Skole in die Namakwa Distrik van die Noord-Kaap Provinsie. Die aandag word toegespits op: * wetgewing met betrekking tot dissipline in skole; * soorte van probleme; * faktore wat aanleiding gee tot probleme; * maatreëls wat gebruik word om dissiplinêre probleme te hanteer en te voorkom. Deur literatuurstudie word begrip en kennis verkry wat as agtergrond dien vir die kwalitatiewe ondersoek waardeur `n kontekstuele begrip verkry word van die ervaring van dissipline en probleme deur `n geselekteerde groep skoolhoofde van Intermediêre Skole in die Namakwa Distrik van die Noord-Kaapprovinsie. Ten slotte word voorstelle gemaak met die oog op die verbetering van `n komplekse situasie. / The aim of this study on a small scale is to gather information about the problem of discipline as manifested in Intermediate Schools in the Namaqua District of the Northern Cape Province. The attention is focused on: * legislation in connection with discipline in schools; * types of problems; * factors that cause problems; * measures to cope and prevent disciplinary problems. The study of literature provides understanding and knowledge that serves as background to the qualitative study by way of which a contextual understanding is developed of the experience of discipline and specific problems by a selected group of principals of Intermediate Schools in the Namaqua District of the Northern Cape Province. In conclusion proposals are made aimed at the improvement of a complex situation. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Educational Management)

Education policy implementation in a society in transition : a multivariate systems approach

Rameshur, Harrilal. 01 1900 (has links)
At the best of times, education policy implementation is a difficult and uncertain process. Taking this as a point of departure, the researcher advanced the hypothesis that education policy implementation in a society in transition: is accompanied by a fragmentation of the pre-transition coherence in interpersonal relations among policy actors; is affected by a heightening of value conflicts and the emergence of competing interpretive schemes; is influenced by the perceived self-interest of policy actors; is affected by changing power relationships and structural adjustments; and reflects a general weakening of interpersonal, cultural, and structural linkages that had evolved in pre-transition years. The Indian education system in South Africa was studied as an exemplar of a system located in a society in transition. The data collated by means of three research strategies - historical report, questionnaire, and structured interview - gave strong support to the hypothesis. In addition, they pointed to the significance of variables such as policy content and policy quality, political interference and pressure, bias and favouritism among senior officials, religious, sectional, and language loyalties of participants, and loss of job satisfaction and morale among policy actors. These findings were discussed against the background of relevant literature. This concluded in the development_gf a theoretical model to explain education policy implementation in a society in transition. Basically, the model suggests that socio-political struggles in the larger society tend. to be replicated in the micro-contexts of the education system, producing fundamental alterations in the interpersonal, cultural, and structural aspects of the system, a general weakening of system linkages, and a progressive de-coupling of system components. All these changes recursively impact on and are impacted on by policymaking and policy implementation processes and outcomes. These impacts, however, tend to occur in a non-standard, nonlinear manner. The theoretical underpinnings of the model emerge from general systems theory, modern social systems theory, chaos/ complexity theory, conflict theory, structuration theory, organisation change theory, and loosely coupled systems theory. Finally, the study concludes with general propositions relating to education policy implementation in a society in transition and a set of research and management-oriented recommendations. / Educational Leadership and Management / D.

Veranderende rol van die skoolhoof in die staatsondersteunde (Model C-) skool in die RSA

Text in Afrikaans / Die verskynsel van gedesentraliseerde onderwyshestuur, of selfbestuur van skole (SBS), 1s 'n helangrike internasionale ontwikkeling in onderwyshestuur. 'n Afwenteling van gesag vind vanaf 'n hoer onderwysheheerliggaam na die plaaslike hestuurs- of skoolvlak plaas. Die nuwe wyse van selfhestuur van skole in Engeland en Wallis word saamgevat met die term Local Management of Schools (LMS), terwyl die soortgelyke inisiatief in die VSA en Kanada School-Based Management (SBM) genoem word. Talle aspekte van SBM en LMS sluit in 'n groot mate aan by die Suid-Afrikaanse variant van SBS, die bestuur van staatsondersteunde (Model C-) skole. In aansluiting by die literatuuroorsig wat in hierdie navorsing gedoen is, is kwalitatiewe data deur middel van onderhoude met opvoedkundiges wat direk by die bestuur van staatsondersteunde skole betrokke is, ingesamel. Klem is deurentyd in hierdie studie gele op die skoolhoof se veranderde bestuurstaak ten opsigte van die bestuur van die personeel en die gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid. bestuur van finansies, die bestuur van ouer- en Ten slotte is die volgende onder meer bevind: 'n Oorwegend deelnemende, deursigtige bestuurstyl van die skoolhoof is 'n wesenlike vereiste vir die eff ektiewe selfhestuur van skole. Die hestuur van die finansies bet die grootste enkele verandering in die rol van die skoolhoof in staatsondersteunde skole teweeggebring. Elke hoof behoort die kundigheid van 'n verskeidenheid persone te benut, en hy behoort soveel personeellede as wat prakties moontlik is, by die bestuur van die skool te betrek. Die skoolhoof, bestuursliggaam en ouers behoort saam te werk aan 'n vennootskap waarin daar openheid, wedersydse vertroue en hartlike samewerking voorkom. Die skoolhoof behoort ook, as uitvoerende beampte, te help verseker dat die bestuursliggaam eff ektief funksioneer.Die skoolhoof, bestuursliggaam en ouers behoort saam te werk aan 'n vennootskap waarin daar openheid, wedersydse vertroue en hartlike samewerking voorkom.

In England and Wales this new approach is labelled Local Management of Schools (LMS), while School-Based Management (SBM) refers to basically the same initiative in the USA and Canada. Many aspects of the South African variation of selfmanagement of schools, namely the management of state-aided (Model C) schools, are quite similar to SBM and LMS. In addition to the literature review undertaken for this study, qualitative data have been gathered through interviews with a number of educationists who are directly involved in the management of state-aided schools. The main focus was on the changed management role of the principal with regard to financial management, staff management, and the management of parent and community involvement The research concluded with the following findings: A participatory, transparent management style is the key to effective and successful self-management of schools. Financial management has caused the biggest single change in the task of the principal of a state-aided school. Every principal ought to consult as widely as possible, and involve as many staff members as is practicable in the financial management of the school. The principal, management body and parents ought to ensure that a partnership is developed in which there is openness, mutual trust and collaboration. The principal, as managing executive, should also try to ensure that the management body functions effectively. The parents, school community and pupils should be offered the opportunity to participate in a formal, controlled way in the strategic planning and management of the state-aided school / Educational Leadership and Management / D.Ed.
