O plano de carreira como fundamento para a política de formação do magistério público municipal de São Luís/MA

Abstract

This dissertation, developed within the Graduate Program in Education at the State University of Maranhão (PPGE/UEMA), under the research line "Teacher Training and Educational Practices" (2024-2026), investigates the relationship between the continuing education policy of the Municipal Education Secretariat (Semed) of São Luís/MA and the implementation of the Career, Position, and Salary Plan (PCCV), between 2018 and 2025. The general objective is to analyze how this articulation ensures the professional valorization of Elementary School teachers. The study discusses the categories of career, training, and valorization; analyzes the local PCCV; identifies municipal incentives for training; investigates teachers' knowledge regarding their statutory rights; and evaluates whether the network's training demands meet progression requirements. Through a dialectical lens, the research confronts legal norms with daily practice, drawing on theoretical contributions from Cury (2018), Duarte (2001), Freitas (2014, 2018), Frigotto (2003), Gatti (2009, 2010, 2012, 2019), Grochosca (2015, 2016), Hipólito (2010, 2015, 2020), Imbernón (2000, 2010), Jacomini; Penna (2016), Peroni (2013), Saviani (2009, 2013, 2020) and Shiroma; Evangelista (2003, 2007). The qualitative methodology involved teachers, pedagogical support staff, and managers from urban and rural schools, administrative units of Semed, and a union representative. Subjects were organized into two groups: a random group reached via social media and an intentional group selected by workplace, role, and years of service. Data collection utilized electronic forms for online interviews and surveys with the random and school-based teacher groups, initially for profile and perception mapping. For the other participants, semi-structured interview scripts were used. Results show that training and professionalization, although central to management discourse, are often disconnected from financial and functional valorization. Analysis of management reports and legislation points to valorization only theoretically agreed while daily reality is marked by uncertainty and bureaucratic hurdles. As a Technical-Technological Product, a collaborative Guide in e-book format for the PCCV was produced, aiming to provide teachers with the necessary knowledge of their rights and duties, in an attempt to promote the necessary knowledge for functional emancipation within the public education network of São Luís.
