Escola cidadã integral versus escola regular: educação e cidadania no ensino de biologia

Abstract

Since year 2016 is being implanted in Paraíba state a new model of basic education, the citzen integral school, showing integral time education and joint contents in national base curricular common with diversified curriculum. But a lot of public schools still show the recognized model of regular school with only part time education's and approach subjects demanded for school curriculum. Thereby the current study objective undertand how biology teaching works in high school on the citizen integral school and regular school in the João Pessoa city, furthermore, listed as specific objectives: the comparation of the performance of biology teachers in the two schools investigated; the analysis of the degree of satisfaction of teachers and students with each school; the investigation of the teaching-learning process between each institution; and finally, the investigation of the practice of scientific literacy in the biology classes of each school. Considering that studies on this theme are still scarce, this research is essential to understand a new model addressed in public basic education. To this end, qualitative exploratory research with bibliographical investigations on the theme and documents carried out by comparing the Political Pedagogical Projects of each school were adopted in the study, as well as semi-structured interviews, interpreted in the light of content analysis. , with biology professors and students of the high school to seek to achieve the objectives set for the research. Moreover, this research presents the characteristics of an ethnographic research, given the insertion of the researcher in the environments to study the reality experienced between each model. Also adopting artificial participant observation to understand the role of biology teachers. Thus, it was found that the investigated citzen integral school has a better infrastructure when compared to the ER, which directly reflects by those investigated in the regular school who are dissatisfied with its infrastructure, a different feeling observed among students and teachers of the citzen integral school. It is also possible to infer that the latter has no influence on the performance of their teachers in the classroom, who are free to plan their classes in the desired way, as observed in the regular school. With regard to the students opinion about integral attendance, it was observed that part of the population of young people interviewed and enrolled at EECI understand as something positive, opposite opinion expressed by most ER students who do not have the desire to study in integral hour. Studies of this scope are important for promoting discussions about the updating of teaching models in the public network, not only for the academic environment but also for the whole society, since education is a right for everyone and thus, the way it is established in public schools in the country must be understood and discussed by everyone.
