A formação do pedagogo para atuar na gestão escolar: analise dos cursos em universidades públicas de Mato Grosso do Sul

Abstract

This master's dissertation, inserted in the Research Line of Policies and Management in Education of the Graduate Program in Education at the Federal University of Grande Dourados (UFGD), investigates the initial training of school managers in the Pedagogy courses of public higher education institutions (IES) in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul: Federal University of Grande Dourados (UFGD), Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), and State University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UEMS). The general objective was to analyze the training of pedagogues to work in school management. The research, with a qualitative approach, was developed based on bibliographic, documentary, and field surveys. Management training is emphasized as crucial for preparing pedagogues capable of integrating various aspects of school management. The results indicate that, although all institutions share a commitment to training school managers, this training is structured differently among the courses of the different institutions. There is significant variation in the number of disciplines and the workload dedicated to school management. Some courses combine theoretical and practical elements, incorporating specific disciplines and an interdisciplinary approach. These differences reflect the diversity of priorities and educational needs of each course. The coordinators highlight difficulties related to curriculum updates and the demands of the resolutions for training. On the other hand, opportunities to strengthen management training emerge through partnerships with schools and managers, as well as extension and research activities. Adaptation to local realities is a common aspect that demonstrates the importance of comprehensive and contextualized training for future school managers. Based on these findings, it is essential to recognize the diversity in approaches to the initial training of pedagogue managers in the Pedagogy courses of public universities in Mato Grosso do Sul.
