Implantação do Programa de Aceleração da Aprendizagem em Rio Verde (GO): uma análise pedagógica

Abstract

This study approaches the implantation aspects of the Fastening Learning Program in the city of Rio Verde (GO), especially in relation to proposed pedagogical goals and the reached results. This Program began in 1997, by an initiative of the Brazilian Education Ministry, aiming to implant organizational, curricular and pedagogical measures to correct distortions in the scholar float of 5th and 6th year students from Elementary School. The Program done in Rio Verde came from a project planned by the Center of Studies and Researches in Education, Culture and Communitary Action (Cenpec), which consisted on serving these students in Fastening classes in a two-year period. The goal of the research was to verify the effectiveness of the goals done of this project, which one, although it seemed political and pedagogical suitable, showed signs that it was not reaching its goals, in face of the difficulties in organizing the teaching contents and methodology, the students were distant in relation to proposal, the not appropriate evaluation practices, and others. The interest in analyzing the proposal was to check if students from Fastening classes and established again to the regular teaching showed compatible performance in relation to other students, if they were attending classes or, because of other reasons, have quit school. To do this research were used as procedures: analysis of official documents and interviews with students, school leaders and teachers. The data analyses shows a considerable distance between the proclaimed goals and the done ones, showing to the responsible for the direction of this Program the need of rethinking their goals and pedagogical and didactic procedures.
