Socio-educational public policies: implementation of integral education in the public system in Cacoal – Rondônia

Abstract

The present research was carried out in two state schools, located in the municipality of Cacoal in the state of Rondônia (one school serves the 'Guaporé' Project and the other serves the 'School of the New Time' and the 'School of Choice' Projects). Mixed methods of analysis of the results were adopted. Questionnaires were applied to obtain data containing questions referring to the determination stipulated by the National Education Plan - PNE, more specifically the Sixth Goal, aiming to obtain the necessary data for the analysis of indicators that provide understand of the scenario for the implementation of Integral Education in the municipality and envisage the feasibility of the determination about the increase in the number of hours. The veracity of the increase in the number of hours from 04 (four) to 07 (seven) hours will be verified as specifies the Sixth Goal of the National Education Plan (NEP) according to Law 13,005 of 25th June of 2014, with the methodological praxis used by the respective schools and the impact that the change brought during the project. The result enabled us to ascertain that the implementation of school time designed to mitigate the absence of social justice in the neediest communities has as a gap the students' acceptance, leading the staff to exercise the constant role of motivator to keep and conquer new students’ trust. Teachers through the methodology of projects seek a strategy to remedy learning difficulties, using the pedagogical guidelines of the Co-responsibility for Education Institute (CEI) program that presents the life project, leveling and an integral training as methodological praxis to meet the Sixth Goal of the NEP. The absence of infrastructure expansion is one of the aggravating factors that render the Strategies proposed by the Sixth Goal unfeasible.
