PERCEPTIONS OF NEW EDUCATION PROGRAM MONITORS

Abstract

One of the hallmarks of Brazilian basic education is the creation and adoption of programs aimed at improving it. Among these programs, we can highlight the New More Education that aims to improve learning in Portuguese and mathematics in elementary school. In view of the context, this work aims to investigate the perceptions that the monitors of the program in the João Viana School, Caxias, MA, present in relation to the same, with specific objectives to identify the difficulties presented during the program, in the development of the same in the school and to know the contributions that the program provided to the researched ones. The research was conceived through the application of semi- structured questionnaires with 6 (six) monitors of the program. The discourse obtained was analyzed through the Categorical Content Analysis method, where the data was described and interpreted from multiple perspectives. It was verified that the difficulties faced for the development of the program are based on the lack of an adequate environment for the follow-up of the students, in this case a room, and absence of the students who need to be monitored during the hours of attendance of the program. To ease them were pointed out the following possibilities; how to organize an adequate space for attending students, provide didactic resources to be used in class and have a greater accompaniment of the country with their children. The program provided the instructors with a variety of educational experiences, with the first experience in the area of training to increase values, among them, understanding and dedication in the process of accompanying students. The New More Education Program is one of the tools that can alleviate the illiteracy rates and reproaches in the country's education. It is important to carry out research in this field, in order to identify the challenges faced by those who are idealized and the possibilities of improving it within the school country with their children. The program provided the instructors with diverse educational experiences, going against the first experience in the area of training to the increase of values among them the understanding and dedication in the process of accompaniment of the students.
