Avaliação da eficácia do processo seletivo de gestão escolar em Pindaré Mirim - MA

Abstract

The study on the effectiveness of the school management selection in Pindaré Mirim - MA (in Brazil) aimed to analyze the structure and implementation of this process, as well as its impacts on local educational administration. Using a mixed-method approach, the research combined quantitative and qualitative methods, collecting data through semi-structured interviews and questionnaires administered to school managers, teachers, students, and community members. The results indicated that the selection process follows democratic principles, contributing to more efficient school management aligned with community needs. However, active community participation in the selection of managers is limited, which poses a significant challenge. Additionally, financial and political barriers impacting school management were identified. School managers highlighted the importance of transparency and impartiality in the selection process but also pointed to the need for greater involvement of parents and the community in school life. Teachers recognized the relevance of democratic management and the competence of the selected managers, while student guardians positively evaluated the managers' influence on the quality of education, highlighting good communication and involvement. As considerations, to improve the effectiveness of the school management selection process it is necessary to promote greater community participation, ensure transparency, and address financial and political challenges. Democratic management, based on dialogue and active participation of all, is essential to building an inclusive, collaborative, and quality school environment
