Abstract
A nossa realidade profissional como docente mostra um absentismo por
parte dos pais e familiares na participação ativa na gestão escolar. Apesar de
os pais aparecerem em número considerável quando são convocados pela
escola, limitam-se apenas a receber informações sobre o comportamento e o
aproveitamento dos seus filhos e isto levou-nos a propor o presente estudo, a
fim de perceber esta problemática.
Identificar as razões pelas quais a família não participa ativamente na
gestão da escola e sugerir soluções para a participação dos familiares na gestão
escolar a fim de promover o sucesso académico dos seus filhos é o propósito
desta investigação. Para tal optamos pela metodologia essencialmente
qualitativa, realizando um estudo de caso na Escola do I Ciclo, do Ensino
Secundário, Saidy Mingas da Ganda, Província de Benguela. As informações
foram recolhidas numa amostra de 591 sujeitos através de questionários e
entrevistas.
Os resultados mostram que há diversos obstáculos à participação dos
pais na gestão escolar, tais como: as convocatórias aos Encarregados de Educação
feitas com muito pouco tempo de antecedência, a incompatibilidade de
horários para encontros entre professores e Encarregados de Educação e a
pouca abertura da escola para com os Encarregados de Educação. Assim,
recomendamos o desenvolvimento e implementação de novas estratégias para
promover a integração Escola-Famílias-Comunidade: a Direção da escola deve
reconhecer a importância da participação ativa e efetiva dos pais na gestão da
escola e torná-la mais aberta e recetiva, não apenas em teoria, como mostram
os resultados da nossa pesquisa, mas sim na prática. Pois, os professores
reconhecem a importância da participação da família na gestão escolar e no
processo de ensino-aprendizagem, mas tal atitude não tem efeitos práticos.
Our professional reality as a teacher shows an absenteeism of parents and family in active participation in school management. Although parents appear in considerable numbers when they are called by the school, they are limited only to receive information about the behavior and the learning assessment of their children and this situation led us to propose this study in order to understand this problem. The two main goals of this research aim to identify the reasons why the families do not actively participate in school management, and to suggest solutions for promoting the participation of the families in school activities in order to enhance the academic success of their children. To this end we opted for essentially qualitative methodology, carrying out a case study at the 1st Cycle of Secondary Education School, Saidy Mingas Ganda, Benguela Province, Angola. The information was collected from a sample of 591 subjects through questionnaires and interviews. The results show that there are several obstacles to the participation of parents in school management, such as the invitations sent to parents without a proper time interval, the incompatibility of schedules for meetings between teachers and parents, and the low openness of School staff to parents’ involvement. Therefore, we recommend the development and implementation of new strategies to promote the School-Family-Community integration: the school management shall recognize the importance of active and effective participation of parents in school activities and make it more open and receptive, not only in theory, as shown by the results of our research, but in practice. For teachers do recognize the importance of family participation in school management and teaching-learning process, but that attitude has no practical effects.
