Os desafios educacionais em Cajazeiras/PB: uma avaliação do Programa”Alfabetiza Cajazeiras” no pós-pandemia.

Abstract

The study focuses on discussions about the challenges of education in the Early Years in the post-pandemic period, more specifically, observing the implications at this level of education with the implementation of an educational program adopted by the Municipal Department of Education of the city of Cajazeiras-PB. Thus, the guiding question of the study was: how do teachers of the Early Years of Elementary School in Cajazeiras/PB evaluate the Alfabetiza Cajazeiras program as a post- pandemic learning recovery plan? The general objective was to understand how teachers of the Early Years evaluate the Alfabetiza Cajazeiras program as a post- pandemic learning recovery plan. The specific objectives were: to identify the strategies implemented by the Municipal Department of Education of Cajazeiras/PB to support teachers during remote teaching and to perceive the contributions and limitations of joining the Alfabetiza Cajazeiras program soon after the return to face- to-face classes. The methodology used to conduct the research was initially based on a bibliographic and exploratory study of the technical material already published on the topic under study. Then, data were produced through a semi-structured interview with teachers from a public school in the city of Cajazeiras/PB, and a qualitative perspective was adopted in the analysis of the information collected. The results of the research showed that the teachers recognize the contributions of the Alfabetiza Cajazeiras program, especially for the development of reading, writing and logical-mathematical reasoning in the context of recovery of learning after remote teaching. However, they highlighted some limitations of the Program, since it focuses exclusively on the subjects of Portuguese and mathematics, in addition to the rigidity of the planning proposed by the materials that are already structured to be implemented in the classroom.
