Implementação dos indicadores de qualidade pela gestão dos Centros de Referência em Educação Infantil do bairro Varjão/Rangel em João Pessoa/PB

Abstract

Early Childhood Education is the first stage of Basic Education. It is guaranteed as a right, present in legal provisions, such as the Federal Constitution of 1988, the Law of Directives and Bases for National Education – LDB 9,394/1996 and the Statute of Children and Adolescents – ECA. This Course Completion Work is the result of research focused on analyzing how the management of two Reference Centers in Early Childhood Education – CREI in the Varjão/Rangel neighborhood implemented the Quality Indicators of Early Childhood Education, aiming at the well-being of children and their full development. The authors with whom we dialogue theoretically to support this work are Ariès (1978), Postman (1999), Sarmento (2004), Spada (2005), Finco, Gobbi and Faria (2015) on Childhood; Oliveira (2013), Paro (1998, 2001, 2003, 2010), Honorato (2012), Lück (2000, 2002), Veiga (2004) on Educational Management. Data collection took place through semi-structured interviews (FRASER and GONDIM, 2004) and data analysis took place through content analysis (BARDIN, 1977). The results of the analysis point to a lack of information about the Quality Indicators on the part of the managers interviewed, although we found that several CREI practices converge with some Indicators. However, the lack of knowledge found signals the need for a management that conducts a more systematic evaluation of the practices of CREI.
