PROGRAMA MAIS EDUCAÇÃO: mais tempo de quê?

Abstract

The purpose of this work is aim to critically analise the proposal of the More Education Program, explaining the reasons and understand the characteristics and contradictions of the implementation process in the Colégio Estadual Vila Industrial in the city of Laranjeiras do Sul, from October 2011 to October 2012. In this period of time, we seek references to spell out the elements necessary to constitute the form and content of the school from the perspective of the working class as a class for itself. The methodological approach was made based on the fundamentals of the historical materialism. The methodology used comprised a bibliographical and documentary research, the implementation of semi-structured interviews with the principal of the school, two teachers, a pedagogue, a school employee and a statement of the previous administration which implemented the More Education Program at the School. In the first chapter we present how was the concern with the working class school growing from the Proclamation of the Republic, in 1889, including the expansion of instructional time, considering that this school was a field of contradictions since there were different projects of society in competition. In the second chapter we present the More Education Program and how it was structured in Colegio Estadual Vila Industrial in Laranjeiras do Sul - Paraná, an analysis of the difficulties, as well as a brief history of education experiences since 1950 until the creation of More Education Program in 2007. From the analysis in the previous chapters, we tried to propose indications of the necessary changes in the content and school system to become instrument omnilateral human development.
