Qualidade na educação: sobre as políticas públicas e as escolas municipais de educação infantil de Santa Maria - RS

Abstract

Thinking about Early Childhood Education is to comprehend that we are before small children with opinions, desires, expectations and rights. These children have the right to early childhood school institution of quality, which ensures his well-being, strengthening its development to the maximum. From this understanding is that emerges the problematic for the monograph of the Specialization Course in School Management (UFSM), that is: In which way the policies that treat of quality in Early Childhood Education are being comprehended and implemented in two schools for the early childhood? The methodology of research characterizes itself as qualitative, because it seeks to comprehend the element to be researched, analyze and collect data for trying to understand them. In this way, the first phase consisted of delimiting the unit that constituted the case to be researched. The second phase was the data collection, for this stage we performed the delivery of questionnaires for two EMEIS (Escola Municipal de Educação Infantil – Municipal School of Early Childhood Education), these were directed one to the teachers and the other to the directive team. The third step is the interpretation of data obtained and finally we have the writing of the monograph. Throughout this work, it will be discoursed about the relation of the public policies and the understanding of how the school professionals comprehend and live the implementation of these policies. I reflect about some questions referring to the criteria minimally basic for having quality in the institutions of early childhood, as well as some fundamental rights of children in school scope, as for example, the right of playing. Finally, facing this study, I bring some considerations related to the lack of investment of the governments and some changes that need to be performed In the EMEIS from suggestions pointed by those surveyed. One of these changes is the physical structure of the EMEIS.
