Gestão educacional em diferentes contextos escolares

Abstract

This study aims at presenting the Process Improvement and Analysis methodology (PIA) as an effective way to change school processes, which need some kind of betterment, as well as to conceive this methodology within the school environment and discourse. Such a methodology was learned by a group of individuals in a military school between teachers and monitors in order to be valued and used at school. In this context, the methodology was developed through a qualitative and deductive method, in which the PIA and the questionnaires applied to the course students were analyzed. It is worth emphasing that a relation between the Democratic Management and the Quality Management practices were also stressed in the study. The results showed that most of the course students valued and endorsed the methodology use as an adequate way to improve some school processes. To sum up, the discourse adaptation proposed contributed to a better understanding of this PIA methodology, strengthening its better performance within the school context.
