Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / O presente trabalho apresenta o cotidiano do uso dos espaços de duas escolas estaduais, uma situada no município de Duque de Caxias (Escola Estadual Professor José de Souza Herdy) e a outra em São Pedro DAldeia (Ciep 262 Curvelino Dias Curvello); espaços escolares esses que revelam cotidianos bastante complexos em suas tramas, por abarcar diversos espaçostempos além dos escolares, como as trajetórias, movimentos realizados pelos praticantes desses espaços. Além disso, o trabalho apresenta considerações acerca das múltiplas possibilidades de usos realizados nesses espaços que, por muitas vezes, não seguem as pensadas originalmente pela Secretaria de Educação, ou pela Direção da escola ou até mesmo pelos professores, mas que revelam as relações existentes entre os praticantes desses espaços. / This paper introduces the quotidian uses of the school spaces in two public schools, one placed at Duque de Caxias (a town in Rio de Janeiro - Brasil) named Professor José de Souza Herdy and the other at São Pedro DAldeia (Rio de Janeiro - Brasil) named Ciep 262. The school spaces of them reveal quotidians very complex because there are several space/times beyond the spaces of the school, like the paths, movements of the practicians of theses spaces. Besides, this paper introduces thoughts about the possibilities of the uses of these school spaces that sometimes are not the original thought of the Education Office or of the Principals of the schools or even so of the teachers, but theses uses reveal the relationships that exist between the practicians of these school spaces.

O presente trabalho apresentou a evolução do conceito de administração escolar até chegar a gestão, os principais modelos de gestão escolar encontrados na literatura educacional, que podemos assim dizer: gestão participativa, compartilhada e democrática. Buscou compreender o perfil dos diretores e da gestão de escolas públicas e urbanas do Brasil e de que maneira o perfil do diretor e os modelos de gestão apresentados na literatura educacional se relacionam com as características socioeconômicas médias dos alunos das escolas. O estudo fez uso dos dados do Sistema Nacional de Avaliação da Educação Básica SAEB 2003, referentes às séries iniciais do ensino fundamental. A análise baseou-se em estatísticas descritivas uni e bivariadas e os resultados foram analisados à luz da literatura específica. Os dados adquiridos a partir da análise das variáveis do SAEB 2003 foram confrontados com as informações teóricas pesquisadas sobre o tema. Esta pesquisa teve por principal base teórica as idéias de Anísio Teixeira, José Quirino Ribeiro e Vitor Henrique Paro, Lauro C. Wittman, Heloísa Lück, Jaap Scheerens, a respeito da administração escolar até sua evolução a gestão escolar; Pam Sammons juntamente com Fátima C. Alves, Creso Franco, Alícia Bonamino, Francisco C.Gomes e os documentos oficiais que tratam do SAEB contribuíram no estudo para a construção do perfil do diretor brasileiro e de sua gestão juntamente com as variáveis selecionadas do SAEB 2003 e no entendimento do conceito de escolas eficazes. A pesquisa revelou que o desempenho de uma gestão de qualidade pressupõe a conquista de características no sistema educacional que envolve a participação, a autonomia e a descentralização. / This paper aimed to show the evolution of the school administration concept up to the point it became management, the main models of school management found in the educational literature: participative, shared and democratic management. The paper had the objective to understand not only the profile of the directors and of the management of the public and urban schools in Brazil but also the way those features relate themselves to the average socioeconomic characteristics of the students from those schools. The study used the data from the National System of Evaluation in Basic Education SAEB 2003, considering the first grades of elementary school. The analysis was based on uni or bivariate descriptive statistics. The results were analyzed according to the specific literature. The resulting data from the aanalysis of the variables from SAEB 2003 were confronted with theoretical information researched on that theme. This research had its main theoretical basis on the ideas of Anísio Teixeira, José Quirino Ribeiro and Vitor Henrique Paro, Lauro C. Wittman, Heloisa Luck, Jaap Scheerens as to school administration and its evolution to school management; Pam Sammons together with Fatima C. Alves, Creso Franco, Alícia Bonamino, Francisco C. Gomes and the official documents from SAEB contributed to the studies for the construction of the profile of the Brazilian director and its management with the selected variables from SAEB 2003 and the understanding of the concept of effective schools. The research revealed that for a good performance in quality management, the conquering of characteristics in the educational system is needed, it involves the participation, autonomy and decentralization.

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / O presente trabalho de pesquisa trata da democracia na escola pública estadual do Rio de Janeiro. Dentro de tema tão vasto, prioriza experiências de participação política e controle do Estado pelo cidadão dentro do ambiente escolar e, especialmente, de democracia cognitiva em sala de aula. Esta dissertação é resultado da observação participante em distintas escolas públicas onde o autor lecionou. Nesses espaços, onde a atuação de professor e pesquisador coexistiram, recolheu casos e experiências significativas relacionadas à democracia ou a sua negação pelo autoritarismo, nos dois recortes acima mencionados. Aqui estão cinco destes casos. Dentre eles, em maior destaque, está uma experiência com o uso das linguagens artísticas e seus resultados na democratização da construção do conhecimento em sala de aula. Influenciado pela força deste caso e pelo potencial percebido nas decorrentes pesquisas e reflexões teóricas a seu respeito, o autor opta por empreender uma pesquisa exploratória de linguagem, conduzindo-o a experimentar uma escrita alternativa ao padrão corrente de redação científica. Com claro ímpeto ensaístico, o trabalho é desenvolvido em um diálogo entre professoras-pesquisadoras da escola pública, pretendo ao formato teatral. Para o seu enfrentamento e embasamento teórico, a pesquisa está estruturada principalmente em torno de cinco autores: Inês Barbosa de Oliveira para os estudos da metodologia do campo do cotidiano escolar; Marilena Chauí para os estudos da cultura política brasileira; Paulo Freire, Augusto Boal e Boaventura de Sousa Santos para os estudos de democracia e epistemologia / The present research deals with Democracy in the public school in Rio de Janeiro. Within a vast subject, prioritizes experiences of political participation and state control by the citizen in the school environment and especially cognitive democracy in the classroom. This thesis is the resulted of participant observation in different public schools where the author taught. In these spaces where the actions of teacher and researcher coexisted, collected cases from significant experiences related to Democracy or authoritarianism by its denial, within the two cuts above. Here are four of these cases. Among them, the most notably, is an experience with the use of artistic languages indeed their results in the democratization of knowledge construction in the classroom. Influenced by the strength of this case and realizing the potential arose in the research and theoretical reflections about it, the author decides to make a exploratory experience with the language. He tried an alternative writing replacing the formal and current standards of scientific writing. With a impetus clearly essayistic the work is developed as a dialogue between teachers of public school who are also researchers in university. The intended was become these dialogues in a play, inside drama stile. To approach this subject and build the work`s basis, the research is mainly structured around five authors: Inês Barbosa de Oliveira for a methodology in the school routine field; Marilena Chauí for studies of Brazilian political culture and Paulo Freire, Augusto Boal and Boaventura de Sousa Santos for studies of democracy e epistemology.

A situação aparentemente caótica da rede pública de educação paulista, leva o governo responsável a adotar políticas públicas de educação com caráter neoliberal e seguindo receituários impostos pela globalização econômica. Exemplo disso é a imposição da Nova Proposta Curricular do Estado de São Paulo. Ela foi implantada em 2008 e passou a ser Currículo Oficial em 2010, determinando uma sequência de conteúdos e uma forma de trabalho para todas as unidades escolares, a fim de levá-las a trabalhar como uma rede, padronizando a forma de pensar dos alunos e o trabalho dos professores, limitando a autonomia dos mesmos. Atrelada a esta imposição de um currículo único, está a centralização das decisões e a meritocracia. Apesar de as políticas públicas terem sido elaboradas com o objetivo de melhorar a qualidade de ensino, não é isso que acontece, pois acabam fortalecendo os desestímulos dos alunos e dos professores, impedindo uma possível melhora. Dentro desse contexto, o professor possui um papel essencial, pois seu trabalho em sala de aula, diretamente com o aluno, pode ser o passo inicial para uma transformação cotidiana da realidade. Ao utilizar a educação como um elemento que leve ao entendimento do aluno sobre sua situação na sociedade, este poderá compreender o processo em que está envolvido e tomar conhecimento para questioná-la e até sugerir e lutar por mudanças. O professor não é capaz de promover uma revolução, modificando toda a estrutura da educação pública, mas ao realizar seu trabalho de forma consciente e politizada é capaz de, junto ao aluno, ainda acreditar na possibilidade de uma mudança na direção de uma sociedade mais justa. / The situation apparently chaotic of paulistas public education network, leads the responsible govern to adopt public politics of education with neoliberal character and following recipes that are imposed by economic globalization. An example is the imposition of São Paulos New Curriculum Proposal. Its was implanted in 2008 and turned official curriculum in 2010, which determine a sequence of contents and standardizes the form of work to all school units with a purpose of leads each unit to work as a net, standardizing the way of student think and the teachers work so limiting their autonomy. Hitched to this imposition of a unique curriculum there is a centralization of decision and the meritocracy. Despite the fact that public policies were prepared with the purpose of improve the education quality that is not what happens, since increase the discouragement of students and teachers preventing a possible improvement. Inside this context the teacher has a special role since his work in the classroom directly in contact with the student can be the first step for an everyday transformation of the reality. Using the education as an element to help students to understand about his situation inside the society and then the student can understand the process which he is involved, acquire knowledge to question and even suggest and fight for changes. The teacher cannot to promote a revolution changing all public education structure, but realizing his work conscious and politicized, he can, united to students, believe in a possible change in direction to a fairer society.

A Geografia Escolar, sob Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCNs) (1998) do Ensino Fundamental e Médio, pauta-se em um modelo neoliberal de ensino e propõe uma prática pedagógica para a adequação dos jovens brasileiros no atual mercado de trabalho, no qual poucos terão chance de acesso. É o instrumento da ideologia neoliberal sob o discurso fatalista que a finalidade da educação no mundo atual, em face do desemprego, é apenas o treino técnico-científico do educando e não a sua formação. Portanto, o ensino de Geografia nas escolas públicas, pautado no movimento de (re)produção do espaço geográfico, e de suas contradições no plano da vida cotidiana, contribuem para uma formação crítica dos alunos brasileiros é a negação desse modelo educacional. No presente trabalho, práticas pedagógicas intituladas de oficinas de geocidadania em turmas do Ensino de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) em uma escola pública estadual na cidade de Salvador (BA), pautadas no atual momento de (re)produção do espaço urbano da capital baiana dentro do processo de (re)valorização da orla marítima, tiveram como objetivo propor uma metodologia alternativa de ensino de Geografia para uma formação efetivamente cidadã desse público e para a luta do direito à cidade (LEFEBVRE, 2008). A nossa práxis, partindo de um estudo do lugar da escola e dos bairros dos nossos alunos e sua paisagem (como categorias de análise da Geografia), buscou romper com os discursos hegemônicos e segregadores dos espaços excluídos socialmente e materialmente da capital soteropolitana. O resultado desse trabalho é um manifesto a favor da Geografia Escolar, sob perspectiva crítica, e sua potencialidade para a formação cidadã. / Elementary and High School Geography, under the National Curriculum Parameters (PCNs) (1998), is guided in a neoliberal model of teaching and proposes a pedagogical practice to the adequacy of young Brazilians in the current labor market in which few of them will have access. It is the instrument of neoliberal ideology under the fatalistic speech that claims that the purpose of education in today\'s world, in the face of unemployment, it is only the technical and scientific training of the student and not his education. Therefore, the teaching of Geography in public schools, based on the movement of (re) production of geographical space, and its contradictions in terms of everyday life, contributes to a critical education of Brazilian students and it is the denial of this educational model. In this study, pedagogical practices named geo citizenship workshops in groups of Youth and Adult Education in a public school in the city of Salvador (BA), based on the current moment of (re) production of urban space of Salvador within the process of (re) valorization of the seafront, aimed at proposing an alternative methodology of Geography teaching to a truly citizen education of this public and to the fight for the right to the city (LEFEBVRE, 2008). Our research, since the study of the school location and our students neighborhoods and their landscape (such as Geography analytical categories), aimed at breaking with the hegemonic and segregating discourses of the socially and materially excluded spaces in Salvador. The result of this study is a manifesto in favor of School Geography under critical perspective, and its potential for citizenship education.

Rip currents present a severe hazard to water users worldwide, resulting in over 100 drownings and thousands of lifeguard rescues annually. This thesis examines the demographics of who is effected by rip currents in the UK, what activity they are undertaking, when and where incidents occur, how much the public know, what people have experienced, and how best to educate them. Analysis of 7909 rip current lifeguard rescues (16777 people) across the UK between 2006-2013 highlighted the most at risk group, and subsequent target audience for education, to be male teenagers aged between 13-17 years old (n=2906, 17%). Geographically, the highest incidents occurred on the beaches in the Southwest of England (n=6911, 87%). Incidents mostly occurred outside of lifeguard flagged areas (n=4302, 54%) and mainly involved those using bodyboards (n=5290, 52%). Through the analysis of 407 public beach-based rip current and beach safety questionnaires, it was established that beach users have a poor understanding of rip currents (n=263, 65%) but a good perception of the beach safety flags (n=389, 96%). People with greater knowledge were typically educated by a lifeguard, enter the sea more frequently or have been caught in rip currents themselves. The experiences of 553 people caught in rip currents were analysed using an online questionnaire. The gender split was 69% male (n= 382) to 31% female (n= 171), indicating that males are caught in rip currents more than females. Swimming directly to shore against the rip followed an initial panic (n=108, 34%) for most people caught in a rip. Swimming parallel to the beach was the most remembered, advised, utilised, and promoted safety message. Respondents advocated the use of lifeguards to disseminate rip current safety messages. A new and unique rip current education programme was developed from the synthesis of these results. A lifeguard delivered a pilot programme to 185 teenagers in three schools and two community groups in the Southwest of England. This interactive pilot consisted of exercises using videos, photographs, news reports, and a swimming machine. Levels of rip current knowledge were evaluated before and after, and at regular intervals, to assess knowledge retention. The short-term effects after 3 months were positive, showing statistically significant (p < 0.0005) improvements in mean knowledge levels. This thesis provides a new contribution to the expanding field of social and behavioural rip current research. The development of a unique rip current education programme presents an alternative method for increasing public awareness, and supports the worldwide prevention of rip current incidents and fatalities.

This study showed that Extension Services, like any other human service organizations, are having difficulty in serving diverse populations where there are overlapping political jurisdictions. One example of such a situation was the interstate metropolitan region that included Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia. This region is one of 38 such regions in the United States. The three extension services in metropolitan Washington appear to be failing to meet the need for nutrition education, consumer education, urban horticulture, street safety, and volunteer civic leadership and other needs because they are not fully utilizing available resources and are unable to capitalize on such earmarked resources as those designated by the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-95 review process which requires areawide consultation and regional planning. An organizational model was developed as part of the study and appears to satisfy such criteriaas maximizing resource utilization and access to new resources while minimizing friction among the land grant universities and related institutions in the region. In clarifying needs and refining issues, over 50 knowledgeable consultants were. involved in the study. In developing the model and testing for feasibility the ten key actors on policy matters that would become involved in accepting and implementing the model were used as a panel of experts. They further defined needs and approaches, critiqued the preliminary models, and eventually agreed upon the proposed model presented in the study. The result of the study is "A Proposed Model for an Interstate Metropolitan Extension Service Authority for Metropolitan Washington." The model has five major elements: a proposed charter, a set of bylaws, a table of organization, a decisionmaking process, and recommendations for implementing the model are included in the study. / Ed.

For this purpose, public primary education in the municipality of Ponta Grossa/PR, from 1991 to 2015, was delimited as a field of analysis. The justification for the choice of Ponta Grossa/PR is due to the fact that although the municipality represents the largest source of education in the Campos Gerais region, its IDEB has been lower, especially in the initial years of elementary education, than in other municipalities of similar size, such as Cascavel, Londrina and Maringá. The temporal delimitation is due to the promulgation of the Federal Constitution of 1988, which made possible new paths for the Brazilian educational policy. Thus, guided by the social-developmental conception that permeates this work and by the assumptions of the welfare state, we seek to describe and discuss the offer of public elementary education in Ponta Grossa/PR in its main aspects, as well as the importance of Educational investments for the development of the municipality. The methodological approach is based on qualitative research and the procedure adopted in data collection was the combination of bibliographical and documentary research. As for the structure, the work has five chapters; The first and second seek to analyze development from the perspective of the welfare state, as well as the relationship between public education and development; The third chapter is about addressing the main changes in educational policy after the 1988 Constitution; The fourth chapter presents some of the main aspects of the offer of elementary education in Ponta Grossa/PR and; Finally, the fifth chapter seeks to analyze the evolution of the educational profile of municipal workers, evaluating possible effects of education on the salaries of workers in the period. Among the main results, the research evidenced a substantial change in the educational profile of the workforce in the municipality, which in part seems to have contributed to the increases in workers' income in the analyzed period.
