Gestão e organização do Instituto Federal De Educação, Ciência E Tecnologia Da Paraíba, campus Patos, no contexto da expansão do ensino profissional e tecnológico

Abstract

The expansion of professional and technological education has a fundamental space in the field of educational public policies. It is in this context that we locate the object of this research, with the objective of analyzing the process of management and organization at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology - IFPB, Patos campus. The theoretical basis will be approached through concepts about management and organization in the public sector and the process of expansion experienced in the sector. The methodological approach adopted focuses on the qualitative research reference, here it is a case study. The subjects of the research were managers in positions of coordination and direction, in the campus Patos - IFPB. The instruments of data collection used were semi-structured interviews and consultation of documents. To analyze the data, we used the content analysis formulated by Bardin (1977), which consists mainly in the pre-analysis of the data, the exploration of the material, and the treatment of the results, based on inferences and interpretations. The analysis resulting from this study reveals that in the subjects' conception, decentralization is the most outstanding change in the context of expansion, with unfolding in the expansion of the institution's autonomy. The valorization and investment given to extension and research in this new scenario are pointed out as the main responsible for the approximation and strengthening of the institution-community relationship and for the establishment of partnerships with other institutions. Finally, it was observed that the proposal for expansion on the agenda brought a significant change to the local scenario, however the 'accelerated form as it occurred' generated difficulties and gaps in the field of management (with prevalence in the managerial model) in the organization, infrastructure and inefficiency In the application of financial resources.
