Análise de competências socioemocionais de gestores escolares na cidade de Santa Rita - PB

Abstract

This article aimed to characterize the mobilization of Socio-Emotional Skills (CSE) by education managers in the city of Santa Rita - PB, in their work environment, based on the French competency model widely accepted in Brazil, which perceives competencies as dynamic (LE BOTERF, 2003; RUAS, 2005; ZARIFIAN, 2001; DUTRA, 2004). To achieve the objectives of the study, an exploratory qualitative field research was conducted with 11 schools in a sample of 12 managers, two managers from the same school, one responsible for the morning period in the Elementary School second phase segment and another responsible for the afternoon period in the segments Early Childhood Education and Elementary School first phase. The schools were selected considering accessibility and data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The method used for the analysis of the collected reports was the content analysis, in an abductive approach - referring to the systematic combination between the field data and the theoretical referential (Dubois e Gadde, 2002). As a result, the study revealed a daily practice of socioemoconal skills by managers based on managerial practice over the years. There was also the need for continuing education in the area of people management, given the lack of academic training of managers in the area of Administration. Finally, the study showed a considerable increase in the number of public school students, favored by some actions mainly in the state school system, to the detriment of the private school, whose number of students has been decreasing in the last years of 2010. This situation caused a considerable increase in the demands of the public manager and demanded a greater capacity of private managers in financial management, leading both managers to a greater practice of social and emotional skills.
