A pedagogia do projeto escolas públicas do campo multianos: mudanças e inovação

Abstract

This Master's Dissertation is part of the Graduate Program in Education – Master's Degree, at the Francisco Beltrão/PR campus of the State University of Western Paraná (UNIOESTE), within the concentration area of Education and the Research Line: Society, Knowledge, and Education. In recent years, Field Education has undergone several continuities and changes, which characterize its historicity of achievements and challenges in relation to public policies. Recently, in 2019, the Paraná State Department of Education (SEED/PR) released a Draft Resolution determining that public schools located in and for rural areas with fewer than 35 students enrolled in the final years of Elementary School should adopt a pedagogical organization based on a multi-grade structure. However, there was no adequate training process regarding this proposal for school administrators and educators. In view of this, in 2022 the project Public Field Multi-Grade Schools: Changes in Innovation, hereafter referred to as the Multi-Grade Project, was implemented by the State University of Western Paraná (UNIOESTE), Francisco Beltrão campus, through the University Without Borders Program (USF) of the State Secretariat for Science, Technology, and Higher Education (SETI). This is a pilot project that was implemented in five public multi-grade Field Education schools in the Southwestern region of Paraná. The general objective of this research is to analyze the pedagogy of the Multi-Grade Project, highlighting its potentialities and limitations, taking into account the principles of the Field Education modality, based on a qualitative analysis methodology grounded in documentary study of various sources.
