Implementação da política de assistência social em Mossoró/RN : uma avaliação a partir dos centros de referência da assistência social

The current National Policy for Social Assistance (PNAS) is the instrument that regulates the organization and procedures of social-welfare actions. Developed and approved in 2004 since the Unified Social Assistance System (ITS) was crated in 2003, it reaffirms the democratic principles of the Social Assistance Organic Law (LOAS) focusing on the universalization of social rights and equality of rights when accessing the social-welfare system. In the SUAS point of view, the PNAS highlights the information, monitoring and evaluation fields for being the best way to assure the regulation, organization and control by the Federal Government paying attention to the principles of decentralization and participation. This political-institutional rearrangement occurs through the pact among all the three federal entities. The pact deals with the implementation of the task. It says that it has to be shared between the federal autonomous entities, established by dividing responsibilities. To the cities, considered as the smallest territorial unit of the federation and closer to the population, was given the primary responsibility, which is to feed and maintain the database of SUAS NETWORK and identify families living in situations of social vulnerability. In addition to these responsibilities, the cities that have full autonomy in the management of their actions, have the responsibility to organize the basic social protection and the special social protection, that using the Center of Social Assistance Reference (CRAS) and the Center of Specialized Social Assistance Reference (CREAS), are responsible for the provision of programs, projects and services that strengthen the family and community; that promote people who are able to enjoy the benefits of the Continuing benefit of Provisions (BPC) and transfer of incomes; that hold the infringed rights on its territory; that maximize the protective role of families and strengthen its users organization. In Mossoró/RN, city classified as autonomous in the social assistance management, has five units of CRAS that, for being public utilities, are considered the main units of basic social protection, since they are responsible for the connection between the other institutions that compose the network of local social protection. Also known as Family House, the CRAS, among other programs and services, offers the Integral Attention to Families Program (PAIF), Juvenile ProJovem Program, socio-educational coexistence services programs, as well as sending people to other public policies and social-welfare services network, provides information, among others. In this large field, social workers are highlighted as keys to implement the policy of social assistance within the city, followed by psychologists and educators. They should be effective public employees, as a solution to ensure that the provision of the services are to be continued, provided to the population living around the units. However, what we can find here is inattention to the standard rules of social assistance, which not only undermines the quality of programs and services, but also the consolidation of policy on welfare as public policy of social rights

The subject of public safety is part of the academic and popular discussions, due to several factors that act in society culminating in an increasing criminality. The importance of the evaluation of public policies in this context consists in a possible control tool, monitoring and necessary adjustments to the government to make the necessary changes. Given this reality, it is thought the research problem: how Mossoró (RN) city has implemented his public security policy? In general guideline of the research, we work with the following hypothesis: the own formulation of the National Policy of Public Safety there are elements that hinder the implementation of a public policy of municipal security in Mossoró. The objective of this research is to evaluate the existing security public policy in the city of Mossoró, by the elements that facilitate and/or hamper its implementation, through the actions of municipal government in the activities of the Mossoro Civil Guard (GCM). For this, a review of the implementation process was conducted, specifically its subprocesses of selection, training, and logistical or operational. Was used bibliographical research, documental primary and secondary, and field research, with conducting of interviews. It was found that with a staff of 197 guards, and with five years of creation, the actions developed by this institution refer to an early implementation of the municipal security policy. The guard has the basic pattern selection, part of function relocation and part of public tender. The formation occurs in an introductory way, however, not complete and specific, for the function performance. Its operability is limited by the number of existing effective and by the physical structure that has not matching the demand yet, which touches on the municipal budgetary reality of direct resource intended to safety. It was found the absence of a municipal plan of public security with principles, guidelines and goals that could direct the actions of the guard. It is concluded that despite of the implementation of the GCM Mossoró have not achieved, within the parameters of efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness have played their actions, projects and programs, it could trigger a process of opening for construction of a municipal security policy. As well as break with the paradigm of municipal actions just meant for surveillance of public property, interaction affirmative for the prevention of violence and crime

Gestão de centros históricos: uma avaliação da política de requalificação urbana de Natal/RN

From the second half of the century XX, in many Brazilian cities, the "historic centers" stop being the most densely populated areas of the city, accumulate degradation of the built environment and its functions have physical, social and economic resignified when also intensified interventions in these same centers Historic focused its redevelopment. This work aims to reflect on the experience of urban regeneration in the historic center of Natal, addressing the strategies adopted in the implementation of public policies and how these improve the effectiveness of actions, processes and outcomes for which turn the management of the historic center in question. In Natal, is identified in the neighborhoods of the Upper Town and Ribeira, the historic city center, a large distortion of their ancient architectural complex, the use of sub-urban infrastructure and emptying in the evenings and weekends. Shares redevelopment of the historic center of Natal are considered late, it is only recently that these neighborhoods were objects of policies and projects generally aimed at enhancing the cultural attraction of the area, and not always, it can be said that they have relevance in development process of the city. Added to this, there is the slowness of the interventions, although the zoning as an area of historic preservation has been done for over two decade.

Avaliação do programa escola ativa como política pública para escolas do campo com turmas multisseriadas: a experiência em jardim do seridó/rn (1998-2009)

This work aims at developing an evaluation of the implementation of the Program Escola Ativa as a public policy for rural schools with combined grade classrooms in Jardim do Seridó RN (1998 2009) focusing on the following dimensions: school s physical environment, training, follow up, and didactic usage of the methodology. In order to develop this research we refer to the literature that analyzes the cycle of policies (FREY, 2000). In this approach, evaluation represents an important step in the process of analyzing the implementation of public policies, as a way of measuring up their performance, as well as a guide for realignments and redefinitions (PRESSMAN; WILDAVSKY, 1998). In order to accomplish this function, the evaluator of policies must be acquainted with scientific concepts and methods that consist of describing, interpreting and analyzing the policies in the governmental sphere (MENY; THOENIG, 1992; LIMA JÚNIOR, 1978). In this perspective, we intend to investigate whether in its proposition of minimizing the blanks in the Brazilian educational system, the implementation of the Program would be contributing to the improvement of the political-pedagogical practices in the rural schools with combined grade classrooms in Jardim do Seridó RN. In order to do this research, we have developed a theoretical-methodological matrix made of analysis dimensions, variables, indicators and instruments, such as literary revision, documental analysis, semi-structured interviews with four teachers and three supervisors that work and/or have worked in Escola Ativa in that town in the period comprised among 1998 2009, besides notes taken from field observation and photographs from four rural schools with combined grade classrooms. With this research we have identified that the Program, at a national level, has gone through different phases in its implementation process, for the town was not ready to fully take the responsibilities of the autonomous expansion, in 2002. From that period on, the execution of Escola Ativa has suffered several discontinuities, such as the lack of professional training and supervising. It is also noted that the methodology contributes to the dynamization of the didactic-pedagogical activities and promotes the cooperation and autonomy of the students in the organization and the applicability of the components of the curriculum, especially of Governo Estudantil and Cantinhos de Aprendizagem. Although the directions of the Program (BRASIL, 2005) point out that Escola Ativa has among its principles social transformation, we identified that, isolated, the initiative is not capable of promoting the changes that the rural schools need, namely investments in the physical, material, pedagogical and technological infra-structure, besides the estimation and a career plan for the teachers. In a general draft of the results of this research, we realized that some aspects presented about the peculiarities of Escola Ativa in Jardim do Seridó as a governmental Program, reinforce the need for the public policies to be evaluated, in order to confront critic and operationally the planning with the practice, revising action, whenever necessary

Política de avaliação e trabalho docente no ensino médio

A pesquisa versa sobre avaliação e trabalho docente no ensino médio, tendo como objeto de investigação e análise as políticas de avaliação que vêm sendo instituídas a partir dos anos 1990, com recorte específico no denominado novo Enem e suas repercussões sobre o trabalho docente. O estudo possui como objetivo geral analisar e compreender as reformas instituídas na educação brasileira a partir da década de 1990, com foco na avaliação externa, especificamente na implementação do Enem, enquanto um processo de avaliação implementado no bojo de uma nova regulação educacional, e suas possíveis repercussões sobre o trabalho docente nesse nível de ensino, última etapa da educação básica, tendo como lócus a Região Metropolitana do Cariri – CE. Quanto à metodologia adotada, optou-se pela abordagem de pesquisa qualitativa, enfocando o complexo universo das políticas de avaliação externa e do trabalho docente no Ensino médio, lançando mão, para a coleta de dados, da pesquisa exploratória, revisão bibliográfica, análise documental e entrevistas não-diretivas. O tratamento dos dados foi realizado com base na análise de conteúdo, a partir de exaustiva análise das informações levantadas que, cotejadas com o referencial teórico, permitiu a emersão de algumas categorias de análise, como: avaliações externas, trabalho docente, regulação da educação e accountability. Como síntese dos resultados aferidos, destacamos que: - A Reforma do Aparelho do Estado Brasileiro, implementada a partir da década de 1990, instituiu o “Estado avaliador”, pautado, dentre outros, pela desresponsabilização do Estado para com as políticas sociais, pelo foco nos resultados, na excelência, na performatividade e na obtenção da eficiência e eficácia educacional, instituindo mecanismos de controle, no formato de avaliações, para a promoção da regulação da educação, de modo a assegurar os valores dominantes no contexto educacional escolar, controlando seus resultados; - são fortes as repercussões das políticas educacionais inscritas sob a lógica mercadológica sobre o ensino médio, dado que o mesmo vem sofrendo alterações significativas nas últimas décadas, em decorrência do “Estado avaliador” e da crescente centralidade das avaliações externas; - as avaliações externas de larga escala, com destaque para o Enem, privilegiam o accountability, por meio dos fenômenos da desresponsabilização do Estado, da crescente responsabilização da escola e dos profissionais da educação, da meritocracia e da privatização da educação, promovendo a intensificação do trabalho docente; - o atual modelo de avaliação de larga escala impõe ênfase aos produtos ou resultados em detrimento do processo, focando-se no trato individual de instituições ou estudantes, por meio de dados predominantemente quantitativos, resultando em classificação e rankeamento, estimulando a competição entre as instituições educacionais e entre os sujeitos; - esse processo tem repercutido sobre o trabalho docente, intensificando-o, à medida que os professores, à revelia de suas condições objetivas de trabalho, que são extremamente precárias na maioria das escolas públicas, tendem a ser responsabilizados, individualmente, pelo êxito ou fracasso de seus alunos; - por fim, constatamos que, não obstante novas atribuições e responsabilidades estarem sendo imputadas ao professor, inclusive com a imposição unilateral de metas a serem atingidas, não há, em contrapartida às exigências postas pelo Enem, uma efetiva política de Estado voltada para a valorização dos profissionais docentes no Ceará, seja pela via da carreira, da remuneração e/ou da formação continuada.
