NEW SANTA CATARINA HIGH SCHOOL: CHALLENGES EXPERIENCED BY TEACHERS AND MANAGERS

Abstract

The present research aims to analyze the challenges experienced by teachers and managers of the state basic education network of Santa Catarina in relation to the implementation of the New High School. The methodology used had a qualitative and exploratory approach. The study included nine teachers and three school managers from the state of Santa Catarina who participated in this implementation in "pilot schools". For data collection, a semi-structured interview was used. The results evidenced are challenging, among them the lack of dialogue between educational instances, the lack of school structure and basic investments for the development of integral education, the lack of didactic material and collective planning in the areas of knowledge, as well as continuing education processes. These results can contribute to stimulate an active and democratic participation of the school community in decision-making processes, reducing the distance between the discourses and the reality experienced by education professionals.
