Proposta de desenho de processo do PDDE básico sob a perspectiva da unidade executora

Abstract

This research is linked to the Graduate Program in Organizational Management at the Federal University of Uberlândia and focuses on the Direct Money in School Program (PDDE), a federal government program linked to the National Fund for Educational Development (FNDE) as a financing instrument for Brazilian public schools. Given the difficulties encountered by the managers of the Executive Units (UEx) when first contacting the extensive and fragmented set of laws, norms, and normative instructions governing the program and the challenge of making good use of public resources while meeting the needs of the school community and adhering to its rules, this study proposes the design of the PDDE process from the perspective of the UEx. It aims to assist them in understanding the process stages, from the establishment of a new UEx, adherence and registration update, execution, until the program’s accountability. To this end, document analysis and design research methods were adopted. Design research is a method consisting of five steps (problem awareness, suggestion, development, evaluation, and conclusion) that enables the construction and evaluation of a model. The document analysis was based on the collection of guides and training materials provided by the FNDE on the stages related to the PDDE. The challenges faced by UEx managers were gathered from the experience of the staff of the Municipal Education Department of the city of Uberlândia. Therefore, as a technological product of this work, process flowcharts related to the Basic PDDE were created. It is expected that the drawings created from this study can contribute to a better understanding of the processes related to the program by UEx managers.
