Ambiência escolar: uma proposta de avaliação para escolas públicas

Abstract

The school ambience corresponds to the way we relate to school using our senses, creating a learning perspective. Although most often neglected by educators, it is an important factor to be analyzed to the detriment of pedagogical organization. Thus, the focus of this work is to propose an ambience analysis protocol for public schools that can be used in instances of country education, with the aforementioned adaptations. The institution diagnosed, Água Verde school, is located in the Laranjeiras de Sul (PR) city, which offers pre-school and elementary education, being characterized as a periphery unit. The organizational variables investigated were the physical, socioeconomic/cultural, administrative, environmental and family dimensions. The results showed that the school meets most of the ambience requirements that contribute to the creation of a teaching-learning environment. But like all Brazilian schools, it has its limitations. These inconsistencies were recorded in all dimensions in a timely manner. Thus, problems were identified with some indicators such as building, design, landscaping, harmonization, library, information technology, accessibility, security, remuneration, waste disposal and family involvement. The protocol used was able to identify some problems that can be circumvented with simple actions that involve school aptitude already identified in the daily work of the teaching staff. A set of procedures can be adopted from the results to infer to the public and managers solutions for decision making.
