Abstract

This dissertation is part of the Education and Arts research line in the Post Graduate Program in Education at the Education Center of the Federal University of Santa Maria. This research used a qualitative approach, with the application of semi-structured interviews for data collection, in order to understand the conceptions and actions of the pedagogic coordinators working inside the city schools of Santa Maria / RS. Two criteria were utilized - spatial proximity and availability to be part of the research process. I chose to interview pedagogic coordinators working in schools in Camobi, a neighborhood in Santa Maria/RS. Nine institutions matched the spatial proximity criteria, and all nine pedagogic coordinators agreed to become part of the research.
