SCHOOL DAILY LIFE AND MANAGEMENT PROCESSES: CASE STUDY

Abstract

Every new school year, new expectations, new strategies, new goals. It is expected that the development of the planning will occur smoothly and without intercurrences, however, interferences may present along the way. This is what happened in the year two thousand and twenty, when the world was surprised by a pandemic caused by the spread of a new virus of the Coronavirus genus, which became popularly known as Covid-19. Due to the need for social distancing, the pandemic caused the closure of establishments, including schools. Teaching had to reinvent itself, classes were taught completely remotely, being a challenge for students, parents and teachers. In view of the situation this case study had the general objective of elucidating how teachers and managers adapted to the changes imposed to avoid contamination by Covid-19. And the specific objectives sought to identify the strategies adopted by managers and teachers to continue classes during social distancing, to know the difficulties encountered in this readaptation and to verify the surprises obtained in this differentiated way of developing the classes. For this purpose, the case study methodology used an electronic questionnaire to interview teachers and the management of a state public school. The results were analyzed from three categories: the school curriculum, school management and the Political-Pedagogical Project, having as theoretical support the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil (1988), the Law of Directives and National Bases of Education (1996), Gadotti (1994), Libâneo (2007), Paro (2020), Silva (2010), Veiga (2020), among others. In the study, it can be seen how challenging it is to adapt to an exceptionality that has never been experienced before.
