Abstract

The central issue of this study is the teachers education, as being the object of empirical research the implementation the Escola Ativa Program (EAP) - in the state of Amazonas. The general objective of the study was to verify and analyze the process of the teachers education for multiseries classes in rural schools developed by the Escola Ativa Program in the Metropolitan Area of Manaus and its contribution to improving the teaching and learning process in the schools where it was implemented. The study begun from the thesis that: the teachers education promoted by the Escola Ativa Program contributed to the improvement of the teaching/learning process in the schools where it was implemented. To explain the result of this study, it was sought to answer the guiding questions proposed for the study. The period of study was from 2004 to 2010. The field of research, which is the practical reference of this study, is the Metropolitan Area of Manaus composed of eight cities that serve children in the initial years of Elementary School in schools with multisseries classes and, as respondent subjects, were selected those who were compliant with its policy. Initially, a theoretical approach was taken on teacher education in Brazil, then a historical contextualization about the origin of Program both in Brazil and in Amazonas State, and finally the presentation and analysis of the empirical data collected from the respondent subjects. The factor wich contribuited the most to the arduous implementation of EAP in Amazonas was the geographic context and, in order to overcome the difficulties, one of the most highlighted was the commitment of those responsible for implementing the Program. The result of the investigation confirmed the proposed thesis. In 2011, EAP was extinguished and the National Program of Field Education (PRONACAMPO) emerged in 2012, as a new policy to attend the rural education. With this policy, the Escola Ativa Program was renamed to Escola da Terra. Therefore, the need for a new study from this perspective is indicated.
