Concepções, princípios, práticas e reflexões de coordenadores pedagógicos das escolas municipais de educação infantil de novo hamburgo

Gomes, Regina Gabriela January 2011 (has links)
Como um grupo de coordenadores pedagógicos das escolas de educação infantil da rede municipal de ensino de Novo Hamburgo organiza a sua ação para acompanhar mais especificamente o aspecto pedagógico do trabalho realizado junto à equipe que está sob a sua coordenação? Quais as concepções e princípios de supervisão que orientam as práticas desses profissionais no exercício da ação supervisora? Essas são as questões orientadoras dessa pesquisa, cujo caminho investigativo considerou as reflexões sobre as práticas profissionais de um grupo de coordenadores pedagógicos, através de uma abordagem metodológica que se utilizou de questionários respondidos individualmente por escrito e de encontros presenciais organizados a partir da metodologia de grupo focal gravados em áudio e vídeo, buscando compreender, por um lado, de que modo esses profissionais vêm se produzindo na coordenação pedagógica em relação às atribuições da função definidas em documento elaborado pela rede municipal de ensino de Novo Hamburgo e, por outro, de que maneira vem produzindo o trabalho de coordenador pedagógico nessa rede pública de ensino. O referencial teórico recobre diversas abordagens sobre a supervisão escolar e está articulado às reflexões produzidas pelos coordenadores pedagógicos sujeitos dessa pesquisa em relação às suas atuações. Faço parceria com autores que compreendem a coordenação como uma função-profissão que, na escola, caracteriza-se pela supervisão, pela coordenação, pelo acompanhamento e pelo apoio ao processo educativo, a saber: Mary Rangel, Dermeval Saviani, Isabel Alarcão e Vera Placco. Pela análise, a pesquisa constata que a especificidade da função desse profissional na composição e articulação da vida cotidiana das creches e pré-escolas se encontra na possibilidade de intervenção realizada pelos coordenadores, na organização do diálogo propiciador da compreensão dos processos educativos e das potencialidades dos professores, indicando uma concepção de coordenação pedagógica cooperativa e ativa. Do mesmo modo, o controle e a conferência do trabalho realizado pela equipe de profissionais que se encontra sob sua responsabilidade se apresentam também como um princípio fundamental que orienta as práticas dos coordenadores. Na busca pela compreensão do papel do coordenador, essa pesquisa aposta na concepção de coordenação como uma função essencialmente pedagógica, possível de ser (re)inventada na prática e pela prática nas mais diversas realidades dos coordenadores pedagógicos que vivem a função nas escolas de educação infantil nessa rede de ensino. / How does a team of pedagogical coordinators of the primary education school system of the city of Novo Hamburgo organizes its action to follow more specifically the pedagogical aspect of the work done with the team that is under its coordination? What are the conceptions and principles of supervising that guide these professionals’ practices in the exercise of their supervisory role? These are the guiding questions of this research, whose investigative character takes into consideration reflections about professional practices of a team of pedagogical coordinators through a methodological approach that makes use of individual written responses to questionnaires and face-to-face meetings, which are organized from the methodology of focal group recorded on audio and video. This study aims at understanding, on the one hand, how these professionals have been producing themselves in the pedagogical coordination towards the attributions of the function, which are defined in a document made by the municipal education system of Novo Hamburgo and, on the other hand, in what ways the team has been producing the pedagogical coordination work in this public school system. The theoretical referential includes several approaches to school supervision and is articulated to the reflections of the pedagogical coordinators that are subjects of this research towards their professional roles. I carry out a partnership with authors that comprehend coordination as a function-profession that, at school, is characterized by supervising, coordinating, monitoring and supporting the teaching process: Mary Rangel, Dermeval Saviani, Isabel Alarcão and Vera Placco. As a result of the analysis, the research shows that the specificity of this professional’s role in the composition and articulation of the daily routine of daycare centers and kindergartens is found in the possibility of intervention held by coordinators, in the organization of a dialogue that encourages the comprehension of the teaching processes and the teachers’ potentialities, pointing out to a conception of cooperative and active pedagogical coordination. In addition, the procedure of controlling and checking the work done by the team of professionals that under this pedagogical coordinator’s responsibility also comes as a fundamental principle that guides the coordinators’ practices. In the search for the comprehension of the coordinator’s role, this study bets on the conception of coordination as an essentially pedagogical function, which offers the possibility of being (re)invented in practice and by practice in the most diverse realities of pedagogical coordinators who work at this primary education school system.

The relationship between the leadership style of principals and school climate in private secondary schools in Mauritius

Kausmaully, Essan 30 November 2005 (has links)
Leadership styles of principals and school climate are two factors that vary greatly in different private secondary schools in Mauritius. They also contribute immensely in the making of a school a peaceful and happy work place for both staff and students. This study first presented a literature review on leadership styles of principals and school climate. References were made from many sources in order to have a clear overview on these two factors. A qualitative research based on interviews and observations was conducted on teachers and principals from nine private secondary schools in order to fulfill three aims of the study. Firstly, the types of leadership styles adopted by principals in private secondary schools in Mauritius were assessed. Secondly the types of school climate that prevailed in these private secondary schools were evaluated. Lastly, the relationship between the leadership styles of principals and school climate in the private secondary schools was investigated. The results revealed that when the democratic style of the `power' concept of leadership was used alone or with other styles but was more prevalent, the principals of these schools scored `high' in both the initiating structure and consideration items of the `relational' concept of leadership and, the climate of these schools was classified in the category of `others' but was more `open' than `closed'. However, when the authoritarian style of the `power' concept of leadership was used with other styles but was more prevalent, the principals either scored `low' in both the initiating structure and the consideration items or `low' in the consideration items only of the `relational' concept of leadership and the climate was more `closed' than `open'. / Educational Studies / M.

The role of the principal as an instructional leader : a case study of three schools in the Motupa Circuit, Limpopo

Mohale, Assan Bottomly 11 1900 (has links)
The study focused on the role of the principal as an instructional leader in the Motupa Circuit primary schools of Limpopo Province. The nature and effectiveness of the education system depend on the role of school principals as instructional leaders in the effective and efficient monitoring and support of educators' curriculum implementation in the classrooms, evidenced by learners' performance and the effective functioning of educational institutions. The literature review undertaken benchmarked on the instructional leadership roles of school principals. Qualitative research approach in the form of observations, interviews and the analysis of written documents was employed to elicit the principals' perceptions on their instructional leadership roles and how they enhance effective teaching and learning towards improving learners' performances. The study anticipated that principals as instructional leaders will be increasingly involved in ensuring that curriculum implementation in the classrooms is monitored and supported for effective teaching and learning to be realised. The study's findings revealed that this is not happening as it should. A synopsis of the research findings revealed that principals are beset with a number of contextual factors such as, an inadequate provision of teaching and learning resources and infrastructure needs, lack of monitoring and support of curriculum implementation, inadequate support from the Department of Basic Education, and lack of parental involvement and concern on the education of their children. It is anticipated that the literature review and the findings from the empirical study will contribute to, and strengthen principals' instructional leadership roles in creating conditions for effective teaching and learning, by monitoring and supporting educators in curriculum delivery and implementation in the classrooms. The research recommended that principals should conduct regular class visits and also ensure that strategies are developed to involve parents of learners in the education of their children, and that teaching and learning resources should be provided. The Provincial Department of Basic Education must provide the much needed basic school infrastructure and basic school resources such as LTSM, the national norms and standard for school funding (NNSSF) earlier during the first term, in support of principals' instructional leadership roles. It is recommended that attention to these issues by school principals and the Department of Basic Education will contribute towards effective teaching and learning and improve learners' performances in Limpopo Province and the Motupa Circuit in particular. / Educational Leadership and Management / M.

A SUPERVISÃO ESCOLAR DO MUNICÍPIO DE SÃO PAULO: DA FUNÇÃO À PROFISSÃO / The school supervision of the municipality of São Paulo: from function of the profession

Teixeira, Angeli Matias 11 September 2014 (has links)

No. of bitstreams: 1 Angeli M Teixeira.pdf: 1318552 bytes, checksum: 139d513bbe99020680b7f7fb95fe30f5 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-09-11 / The overlapping of the administrative over the pedagogical in the everyday routine of the School Supervisor has been having, over the past decades, an important role in the academic discussions. It stems from the dissatisfaction of a great number of these professionals who face a heavy load of burocracy when they take charge and which doesn t allow them to work effectively on the pedagogical projects in the schools. The research in this area, though growing, still needs more attention. The issue of this research focus on the ways the supervisors (in the Rede Municipal de Ensino de São Paulo) handle these two aspects of their role: the administrative, related to the burocracy, and the pedagogical one, related to the educational projects in the schools and other areas of community. This research has as a starting point a historical outline of the path of the School Supervisor in the city, based on the legal material which was responsible for defining this function/position and of the historical background they were a part of. Following that, there s the answers of the research carried out with the School Supervisors from diretorias de ensino regionais de educação of the city analysed in face of the historical background mentioned above and the chosen theoretical guidebooks, in which the works of Demerval Saviani and Celestino Alves da Silva Júnior must be highlighted for these are authors acknowledged as important references and widely cited in the researches concerning the educational supervision area. The research points out important issues to contribute to the understanding of the problems at stake, especially those related to the controversy regarding the duties imposed on the School Supervisor, to the insufficient educational background of these professionals and, therefore, to the difficulty to construct the professional identity of the São Paulo City School Supervisor. / A sobreposição da ação administrativa à ação pedagógica no cotidiano de trabalho do Supervisor Escolar tem ocupado, nas últimas décadas, espaço importante na discussão acadêmica. Fruto da insatisfação de grande parte desses profissionais que, ao assumirem os cargos, deparam-se com uma carga de obrigações burocráticas que os impede de atuar efetivamente nos projetos pedagógicos das escolas, a pesquisa na área, embora crescente, ainda carece de exploração. O problema dessa pesquisa diz respeito às formas pelas quais os supervisores escolares da Rede Municipal de Ensino de São Paulo articulam essas duas faces da função que constitui a sua profissão, a administrativa, ligada às obrigações burocráticas e a pedagógica, ligada ao trabalho pedagógico nas escolas e em outras esferas. Parte-se do delineamento da trajetória histórica do Supervisor Escolar no município, feito perante o levantamento dos referenciais legais que objetivaram sua função/profissão e dos contextos históricos em que se inseriram. Na sequência, as respostas da pesquisa realizada com supervisores escolares de diretorias regionais de educação da cidade analisadas em suas relações com o levantamento histórico citado e os referenciais teóricos eleitos, em que se destacam as obras de Demerval Saviani e Celestino Alves da Silva Júnior, autores reconhecidos como referenciais importantes e amplamente citados nas pesquisas da área da supervisão educacional. A pesquisa aponta importantes indicadores para contribuir com a elucidação do problema em tela, especialmente no que tange à controvérsia das atribuições impostas à Supervisão Escolar, à formação deficitária desses profissionais e, por conseguinte, à dificuldade de se construir a identidade profissional do Supervisor Escolar do Município de São Paulo.

Discusses the supervisory action by analyzing the gathered information collected in data forms visit by the teaching supervisors in special classes and in resources rooms of two schools which ones count on those services of educational specialized support (SAPE-s) in network state schools inner São Paulo, at the lapse of time when the change from the special classes to the resource rooms happened (2000-2013) and searches to know, through semi-structured interviews with specialized teachers and teaching supervisors, how do they position themselves in relation to the inclusion of students classified as Intellectually Disabilited ( DI), to the ways of forwarding students to specialized treatment and teaching supervisor's performance in special education. Through a literature search, based on the Historical-Critical Pedagogy, we conducted a historical of the teaching supervision, placing its performance in the history of special education, since the appearence of special classes up to the inclusion movement from the Salamanca Statement and problematize a reality permeated by contradictions in that inclusive education is understood as a justification to classify a large number of students as intellectually disabilited (ID). The analysis of the data forms visit, interviews, legal documents and standards that rule the network state special education system allowed us to understand that discrimination and labeling of students who present learning difficulties are factors that embarasses the student classified as DI to enjoy the right to education, to which everyone, without exception, should enjoy. / O presente trabalho investiga a atuação dos supervisores de ensino na educação especial das classes especiais às salas de recursos. Discute a ação supervisora mediante a análise dos registros nos termos de visita dos supervisores de ensino em classes especiais e salas de recursos de duas escolas que contam com esses serviços de apoio educacional especializado-(SAPEs) na rede estadual de ensino no interior de São Paulo, no período de transição e mudança das classes especiais às salas de recurso (2000-2013) e procura conhecer mediante entrevistas semi-estruturadas com professores especializados e supervisores de ensino, como posicionam-se em relação à inclusão dos alunos classificados como Deficientes Intelectuais (DI), às formas de encaminhamento dos alunos ao atendimento especializado e a atuação do supervisor de ensino na educação especial. Por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, fundamentada na Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica, realizamos um histórico da supervisão de ensino, situando a sua atuação na história da educação especial, desde o surgimento das classes especiais até o movimento de inclusão a partir da Declaração de Salamanca e problematizamos uma realidade permeada por contradições, em que a educação inclusiva é entendida como justificativa para classificar um elevado número de alunos como deficientes intelectuais (DI). A análise dos termos de visitas, das entrevistas, das normas legais e documentos que regulamentam a educação especial na rede estadual permitiram compreender que a discriminação e a rotulação a alunos que apresentam dificuldades de aprendizagem são fatores que dificultam que o aluno classificado como DI usufrua do direito à educação, a que todos, sem exceção, deveriam usufruir

Clinical supervision as a strategy for educator development

Phiri, Isaac Tshwarisang 17 March 2014 (has links)
M.Ed. (Educational Management) / This research has shown that developing educators who can compete locally and globally within the education sector is to a large extent the responsibility of school principals. The research further shows that educators can be developed effectively through the use of clinical supervision. Clinical supervision in this research is viewed as a strategy to improve the knowledge base, teaching skills and competencies of educators. Furthermore, the research reveals that in today's competitive environment, continuous educator development is key to enhancing the quality of education and classroom practice. One of the major challenges facing school principals today is to continually create and maintain contexts for effective teaching and learning. New demands for survival include the ability to provide better education, accessibility to learnership regardless of the diminishing essential resources. The background, aims, and research methods are provided in chapter one. The qualitative research approach was employed in the investigation of clinical supervision as a strategy to develop educators in the school. The literature search revealed that the principal as the supervisor can use different methods to develop educators. However, clinical supervision was identified as the most effective way of assisting educators to grapple with their day-today actions in the classroom. The data was collected and analysed using the constant comparative method. Focus group interviews were conducted with two groups of educators and individual interviews with two principals of senior secondary schools, in Mantserre Circuit in the Rustenburg District of Education, North West Province. The research revealed that some principals are not aware of clinical supervision as a strategy to assist educators with lesson preparation and effective teaching. In all schools that the researcher conducted interviews, the concept was strange. On the other hand, the research revealed that educators expected their principals to guide them with the execution of their work...

Kliniese bestuur en indiensopleiding aan die sekondêre skool

Annandale, George Scott 10 March 2014 (has links)
D.Ed. (Educational Management) / In the present dissertation the researcher views in-service training in general, and clinical supervision specifically. This research is specifically aimed at the principals of Afrikaans medium secondary schools under the jurisdiction of the Transvaal Education Department. In-service education describes an informal, systematic program, initiated by the principal. This program aims to provide opportunities for teachers to improve the teaching quality of their classes. In-service education is also aimed at the professional development of staffmembers. In-service education aims at the more effective usage of manpower to promote higher productivity. On the other hand clinical supervision is regarded as teaching supervision where data is acquired through observation of true classroom situations. This pre-supposes a one-on-one interaction between the principal and the specific teacher to improve the quality of teaching. Clinical supervision aims to develop the teacher professionally and improve the quality of his teaching. In view of the aims it is possible for clinical supervision to apply the potential of labour effectively, thereby improving productiVity to the benefit of pupils as well as teachers. The successful implementation of clinical supervision relies on a secure, supportive school climate, characterised by healthy headmaster - teacher relations. In this research the researcher will look at the importance of some dimensions of the principal teacher relationship namely: * * * participating leadership: successful communication and creation of a conducive climate. Before a principal can lay claim to successful implementation of clinical supervision as strategy for in-service education, he has to...
