Inovação da gestão escolar para a qualidade : o caso da educação pública municipal de Teresina - PIAUI

RESUMO: A qualidade da educação está sendo impactada pela falta de qualidade da gestão. Assim, apesar de saber-se que a qualidade da educação não está unicamente vinculada à qualidade da gestão escolar, já que o processo ensino-aprendizagem é permeado por uma grande diversidade de fatores, tais como, as práticas docentes, a presença da família e os recursos disponíveis, a gestão constitui-se em um dos fatores primordiais para a compreensão do desempenho da escola. A discussão acerca da qualidade da gestão escolar se faz necessária, portanto, no momento em que a educação brasileira clama pela sua qualidade. Acredita-se que entender os aspectos que envolvem a gestão escolar hoje existente no Brasil, mais especificamente no Piauí e mais diretamente no município de Teresina e a forma com que as escolas estão sendo efetivamente gerenciadas, poderá ajudar a compreender o fenômeno educacional e a melhoria da qualidade da formação promovida nas escolas brasileiras. Deste modo, tem-se como objetivo do estudo analisar como uma inovação da gestão escolar, de forma estratégica, aplicada nas escolas municipais de Teresina pode impactar na qualidade da Educação Básica municipal. Desta forma, o que se propõe, é estabelecer através da pesquisa de campo pontos positivos e negativos quanto ao modelo da gestão estratégica do ensino municipal, que possa ser um caminho para um modelo único de qualidade, na gestão da educação do Estado do Piauí. Concluiu-se que se faz necessário que o gestor da educação pública tenha o compromisso social de fazer da instituição que atua um espaço de transformação, para criar uma sociedade mais justa, mais humana e inclusiva, promovendo a liberdade, a autonomia e a melhoria da qualidade. ABSTRACT: The quality of education is being impacted by the lack of quality management. Thus, despite knowing that the quality of education is not solely linked to the quality of school management, as the teaching-learning process is permeated by a variety of factors, such as the teaching practices, the presence of family and available resources, the management is on a primary factor for the understanding of school performance. The discussion about the quality of school management is necessary, therefore, when it calls for the Brazilian education quality. It is believed that understanding the issues involving the school management that exists today in Brazil, specifically in Piauí and more directly in the city of Teresina and the way schools are being managed effectively, can help to understand the phenomenon and the improvement of educational quality promoted training in Brazilian schools. Thus, it has been the goal of the study to analyze how an innovation in school management, strategically applied in public schools of Teresina can impact the quality of basic education hall. Thus, what is proposed is to establish through research field positive and negative points about the model of strategic management and primary school, which can be a path to a single model of quality management education in the state of Piauí. It was concluded that it is necessary that the manager of public education has a social commitment to making the institution that operates a space of transformation, to create a fairer society, more humane and inclusive, promote freedom, autonomy and quality improvement.

Museums and quality, from the concept of the museum that carries out functions to the museum that provides services

Quality management Self-evaluation of the organisation Citizens/customers satisfaction Impact on society evaluation Key performance evaluation Good practices comparison (Benchmarking) Continuous improvement In professional environments, when quality assessment of museums is discussed, one immediately thinks of the honourableness of the directors and curators, the erudition and specialisation of knowledge, the diversity of the gathered material and study of the collections, the collections conservation methods and environmental control, the regularity and notoriety of the exhibitions and artists, the building’s architecture and site, the recreation of environments, the museographic equipment design. We admit that the roles and attributes listed above can contribute to the definition of a specificity of museological good practice within a hierarchised functional perspective (the museum functions) and for the classification of museums according to a scale, validated between peers, based on “installed” appreciation criteria, enforced from above downwards, according to the “prestige” of the products and of those who conceive them, but that say nothing about the effective satisfaction of the citizen/customers and the real impact on society. There is a lack of evaluation instruments that would give us a return of all that the museum is and represents in contemporary society, focused on being and on the relation with the other, in detriment of the ostentatious possession and of the doing in order to meet one’s duties. But it is only possible to evaluate something by measurement and comparison, on the basis of well defined criteria, from a common grid, implicating all of the actors in the self-evaluation, in the definition of the aims to fulfil and in the obtaining of results.

Qualidade de vida do cuidador de enfermagem e sua relação com o cuidar; Quality of life of the nursing caregiver and its relationship with care

Objective:To identify aspects that affect the quality of life of nursing caregivers and their relationship with care in an Intensive Care Unit for Adults (A-ICU). Methods:This was a descriptive study with qualitative approach, taking as subjects 21 professionals who constitute the nursing staff of the A-ICU of a school hospital in Maringá-PR. Unstructured interview was used as a strategy to collect data, conducted between May and June 2009. Data analysis was based on the method of content analysis. The categories identified were: overlooking improvement in quality of life related to the resources in an A-ICU; the quality of life influencing the form of care; interpersonal relationships into the health team reflecting on the quality of life and care. Results:The analysis of caregivers’ speech and the results of the observation showed that there is correlation between the aspects they consider influential in their quality of life and the way of caring for patients in an A-ICU.Conclusion: The findings indicate that, among the influential aspects, the stressful factors overlap the enhancing ones. From this perspective, dealing with caregiver’s suffering might be the starting point for the improvement in quality of care in an A-ICU.
