Além das fronteiras da escola: o uso das TICs como instrumento de apoio educacional entre gestão escolar e família

Abstract

This monograph was developed in the Specialization Course in Educational Manage-ment and seeks to understand the possibility of dialogue between School Management and families using ICTs. The true meaning of education is, through the exchange of knowledge, to awaken and maintain in the student the desire to learn and through his school career help him to become a critical and active citizen in the world. In this jour-ney, the role of the family and the school is fundamental for the commitment of the stu-dent to his formation. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can be used more intensively by school management, acting as a support tool in the teaching-learning process, through the establishment of a more democratic dialogue between the parties. When the family starts functioning as an ally for school education, which is properly school-oriented, the student can gradually improve his school performance. Technology can work as a mediator of dialogue with his parents and why not as a tech-nological instrument of education with pedagogical purpose. This work presents a via-bility study of this proposal, using as methodology the quantitative-qualitative approach of research, the case study and as a means of data collection a questionnaire applied to the parents of the 6th grade students of the Municipal School of Elementary Education Miguel Burnier, in the city of Coronel Barros/RS. It was possible to verify that the fami-lies have access to internet and interest in this dialogue with the school management, using this channel as access. Therefore, the formation, involvement and commitment of all in the educational process is fundamental, in order to rethink the teaching-learning process and to seek a more intense communication with the parents, in order to become effective agents in the learning of the children.
