Pontos e contrapontos do ensino médio público de Uberlândia/MG

Abstract

Throughout this study we sought a better understanding of the legal directions about the school and brazilian miner from implantation to the present, as well as identify and understand the dimensions and implications for the teaching work in the teaching and learning developed in Teaching Medium Public Schools Uberlândia/MG, Brazil, in 2010. We used the quantitative-qualitative approach, and the population was composed of students, teachers and administrators from seven of the 26 state schools. These were selected on the criterion of general averages obtained for each school in the National Secondary Education Examination (ENEM) of 2009, three grades above average with the municipality, and four with scores below average. It begins with the presentation and discussion of the historical facts of the educational policy of the school at national and state levels, as well as data about the evolution of access to secondary education and its consequences in terms of demand in conjunction with the notions of quality of education, highlights the scale of the problem of teaching quality by analyzing the results of ENEM and its repercussions in Brazil. Continues with discussions about the expected functions of school managers, teachers and students of this teaching modality. In the second chapter is the results and discussions with the presentation of didactic and pedagogical conditions of managers, teachers and high school students. It is noticed that schools continue as the same system structure, underdeveloped and with an incipient school culture to meet the needs and desires of adolescents and young adults. It was observed in most schools, lack of zeal and dedication in preparing the PPP and controversies over the documents. Lack of investment in human and physical part of schools. Only two schools with good infrastructure are the most needed renovations and purchase equipment. Most live in small rooms, poorly ventilated and with frequent noise, lack of teaching materials, laboratories and audiovisual materials. All libraries have in place, but some with little structure and decent small and old. The minority offer science labs and computer effectively, and they have restricted access to the internet, which was one of the biggest complaints of the students. Thus, we witness a mass education, which ensures precariously secondary school access to the expansion of secondary education, however, unrelated to the interests of students with physical and pedagogical conditions precarious, with their uncompromising and quality purposes. With regard to education professionals need greater investment in professional development, both with regard to remuneration more worthy as the promotion of fitness and improvement of working conditions, and the initial and continuing training of these. Therefore this study could observe the contradictions and inequalities of school spaces in giving students opportunities to acquire cognitive skills, prepare them for life in aspects related to work, social life, and even the development of personal skills. Much data have been mentioned, and there is much to be thought, reflected, analyzed and researched. We conclude by drawing attention to the new dimension of the struggle for the right to quality education for this level of education and presenting the theoretical and practical challenges that must be overcome.
