Abstract(s)
O presente trabalho de projeto resulta de um estudo na área da Avaliação Institucional,
realizado num agrupamento de escolas com educação pré-escolar e ensinos básico e
secundário. O objetivo principal relacionou-se com a construção de um Plano de Ação,
que promova o desenvolvimento de uma cultura de avaliação, procurando envolver
todos os ‘atores’ educativos no processo de mudança e melhoria do agrupamento, com
principal incidência na articulação da Equipa de Autoavaliação do Agrupamento, com as
Lideranças Intermédias, de forma a implementar o processo de Autoavaliação do
Agrupamento. A avaliação das escolas deve basear-se em dispositivos simples e
exequíveis e nesse sentido é importante que a avaliação respeite critérios de pertinência,
de coerência, de eficácia, de eficiência e de oportunidade. As Equipas de Autoavaliação,
em articulação com as Lideranças Intermédias, assumem cada vez mais importância, nas
organizações escolares, podendo ser potenciadoras da melhoria da eficácia e eficiência
das organizações escolares.
Um dos instrumentos de recolha de dados foi o inquérito por questionário, aplicado a 89
professores e educadores, que representam 51,2 % dos docentes do agrupamento em
estudo. Outro instrumento de recolha de dados foi o focus group, constituído por 11
professores, dos departamentos curriculares existentes no agrupamento.
Os resultados mostraram que o processo de autoavaliação é já uma prática comum no
agrupamento, com uma certa consolidação. No entanto, ao nível da estrutura que lidera,
apesar de integrar representantes de toda a comunidade educativa, ainda se verifica uma
participação muito centrada nos docentes. Esta estrutura deve tornar-se mais
abrangente, de forma a permitir a incorporação de outros pontos de vista. Os resultados
mostraram ainda, diferentes tipos de abordagem aos assuntos relacionados com a
autoavaliação, nos distintos departamentos curriculares. O incentivo das Lideranças
Intermédias e a sua implicação na tarefa de motivar os professores para a participação no
processo, a articulação com a Equipa de Autoavaliação e a comunicação serão
determinantes para a melhoria da eficácia e eficiência da organização.
No plano de ação, é apresentado um conjunto de propostas, que pretendem colmatar
estas debilidades.
The present project work is a result from a study in the area of institutional assessment, conducted in a group of schools of pre-school, elementary and secondary. The main objective is the construction of a plan of action that promote the development of an evaluation culture, which seeks to involve all stakeholders in the process of change and educational improvement of the school with particular emphasis to the articulation of the self-assessment team with the intermediate leaderships in order to implement the self-evaluation process at school The evaluation of schools should be based on simple and achievable devices and in that sense it is important that the assessment respects criteria of relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency and opportunity. The Self Assessment Teams, in conjunction with the Intermediate Leaderships assume increasing importance in school organizations and may potentiating improving of its the effectiveness and efficiency. One of the data collection instruments was a questionnaire survey applied to 89 teachers and educators, representing 51.2% of school teachers in the study. Other data collection instrument was the focus group consisting of 11 teachers of the school course departments. The results showed that the self-assessment process is already a common practice in school with a certain consolidation. However the liderante structure, although integrate representatives of the entire educational community, there is still a very focused interest on teachers. This structure must become wider in order to allow the incorporation of other viewpoints. The results showed also different types of approach to issues related to self-assessment, in the different departments. The incentive of the Intermediate Leaderships in the process of motivation of teachers as well as their participation in self-assessment process in conjunction with the Self Assessment Team will be crucial to improve the organization's effectiveness and efficiency. In the action plan is presented a set of proposals which aim to address these weaknesses.
