Public Educational Policy. Full-time. High school. Teaching Practice.
This dissertation aims to analyze the teachers' perception regarding the teaching practice in the discipline of Sociology, which generally have a lower workload in the high school curriculum, deal with the changes and conditions provided by the public policy of the Alagoas Education Program Integral (palei). The reduced workload of the Sociology discipline has been identified as one of the major obstacles in the search for qualified teaching (PEREIRA; CAES, 2020). On the other hand, such disciplines (Sociology and Philosophy) have collaborative potential for the development of competences established by the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) (BRASIL, 2018), whether general or specific competences of Applied Human and Social Sciences (BODART; FEIJÓ , 2020). However, it is not just the workload that changes the teaching practice in pALei, the additional activities proposed by the Program directly contribute to the work that will be performed by the teachers, as they have goals to be met according to the objectives of the Program. With this, it is evaluated how the Program has been contributing to the qualification of the teaching practice of the discipline of Sociology and what are the conditions of this practice. To better understand, it is important to know the public policy presented and the data of the concrete experience involving full-time schools located in the capital of the state of Alagoas, Maceió. The Alagoas Program of Integral Teaching (pALei) is an educational public policy that aims at qualifying education in Alagoas, among its objectives are the expansion of the workload of all subjects, the addition of teacher time in a single school and improvements in the infrastructure of school spaces. Therefore, we believe it is important to assess whether such a program has been generating collaborative impacts on the teaching practices of Sociology professors. The research is carried out in stages of a qualitative nature, consisting of a literature
review, consultation of documents related to the PALei and semi-structured interviews. For the interviews, the participation of teachers, licensed or not in the area, who already taught Sociology at the school before it became part of the program in question, was considered, which allowed comparisons of perceptions
regarding their teaching practices. The results achieved show the pALei with an excellent proposal for teaching qualification, but that it still needs studies that improve its operation, organization, physical structure of schools, and didactic resources to provide a better teaching condition in the discipline of Sociology, by the perception of the students.
