O Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica refletido no trabalho escolar do Ensino Municipal de Manaus/AM

Abstract

This thesis is part of the Public Education Policy, linked to the Postgraduate Program in Education - PPGE, from the Faculty of Education - FACED, Federal University of Amazonas - UFAM. The object of study and analysis deals with the relation between the Basic Education Development Index - Ideb and school work. The delimitation was in the initial years of elementary education, with empirical research in four public schools, with the main objective of analyzing the socio-political context of educational policies and the lived reality in the teaching institution of the municipal network of Manaus / AM, in the which refers to Ideb, above all, its implications for school work and its horizon for improving the quality of public school education. From the analysis made, it was verified that the State is conferred the officialization of educational policies in a context marked by public governance, under the auspices of the capital that reaches the reality experienced by the participants of empirical research. Considering this context, the thesis is that the demands and charges for reaching and surpassing projected goals for each school and municipal school network in Manaus has negative effects on students' learning, since administrative and pedagogical strategies lead to the inversion of educational priorities, since its valorization seeks for quantifiable results, under the argument of the quality of school education based on an index, called Ideb, that leads to the subsumption of school work from a methodology derived from a managerialist rationality, an incentive for ranking among educational institutions, in the logic of the neoliberal principle. The literary revision considers classical and contemporary theorists, such as: Afonso (2007, 2009, 2014), Antunes (2009, 2011), Apple (2005), Duarte (2013, 2016), Freitas (1988, 1978, 2017), Saviani (2007; 2013), and Frigotto (1995, 1997, 2010, 2016), Gramsci (1977, 1998, 2011), Guimarães-Iosif (2012) 2014, 2016), among others. The conceptual and methodological categories are related to the method of historical-dialectical materialism, since it is understood as the most coherent option for understanding the contextual movements in which human action produces and / or reproduces what is real in social relations permeated by contradictions.
