Abstract

The cycles comprise an innovative curriculum that aims to improve the quality of education taking into account the student's learning from their cognitive and biological focus and entering a more qualitative assessment. However, the cycles are proposals that, when put into practice, generates criticism and questioning, since abolishing retention and ultimately fail the student does not get a satisfactory learning. The issue of implementation of cycles is a significant issue of relevance to the field of education, considering that there was some interruption in relation to yields on theoretical discussions about experiences involving the deployment cycles in education. Based on this context, the research aims to analyze how was the process of implementation and system interrupt cycles of municipal schools in the city of Manaus. Therefore it was necessary to establish an approach of how to set up this education policy in Brazil and some concepts and reasoning to its intrinsic theoretical assumptions. The deployment of the organization of teaching cycles in Manaus ran from 2004 to 2008, and was established by Resolution No. 04 of May 20, 2004 by the City Council of Education that determines the guidelines for pedagogical proposal of the Municipal Education (SEMED) from Manaus, entitled "Pedagogical Organization Elementary Cycles in Human Formation". From these and other documents arising from this Secretariat was able to analyze some issues relevant to teaching in cycles, such as the role of the student and the teacher as subject of the process of transmission and assimilation of knowledge, knowledge arising out of the school that is presented to the context of this process as a simple object easy to understand and, therefore, should be questioned and verified, the curriculum and assessment. Methodological procedures, we used the search and document analysis from the material given by the Municipal Education (SEMED) from Manaus. Also made use of literature search of books, theses and dissertations, to deepen the theoretical discussion on the topic of Education, Education and Public Policy.
