    A escola de qualidade para todos: abrindo as camadas da cebola
    (2005) GOMES, Candido Alberto
    Educational research presents numerous findings today on how to build a qualified school for all. This paper recognizes the importance of the social origins of the students, educational management, evaluation, curricular organization etc. However, if focuses on selected features related to the differences among and within schools, on the basis of the national and international literature. Considering that the peculiar structure of the educational systems is similar to an onion, with its successive peels, this work analyses factors affecting learning, such as expenditure, facilities and equipment, time, teachers, school climate and management, peer effects, enrollment procedures, space management, student grouping, and other factors that affect effectively in the classroom. Therefore, it is possible to shape such a school, particularly in developing countries, where its impact is stronger than in developed countries.

    A gestão do espaço no ensino médio público: o caso do Distrito Federal
    (2003) GOMES, Candido Alberto; CASTRO, Plinio Eduardo Monteiro de
    This work presents a comprehensive view of private education in Brazil, based on data from the 2000 sense of Higher Education and other sources. Private education serves about 2/3 of the country's university students in 946 institutions, directly mobilizing about of 10 billion reais annually and employing 200,000 people between teachers and employees. The analysis shows that private institutions are a very different group, with some institutions large and many small. Half of its students are in the so-called "social professions", which include Law, Administration, Economics and Social Sciences. The second area of ​​importance is Education and the third is the professions associated with health. The private system has grown a lot and should grow even more, given the restricted size of Brazilian higher education and the limited expansion of the public sector. However, there are financing, efficiency and equity issues that could affect this expansion. The paper discusses some of the business strategies adopted by the private sector, the federal government's efforts to regulate the sector, and identifies issues that require additional field research to be elucidated.

    Afinal, a educação viaja bem?
    (2020) GOMES, Candido Alberto; PIMENTEL, Gabriela Sousa Rêgo
    This work aims to describe the process of comparative education and its historical context, placing the teaching profession at the international summit. Through theoretical research, we sought to reflect that the central core of comparative education (EC) is otherness. The discipline emerges with the dawn of globalization, even in search of successful national experiences. In a historical tour of changes in its theoretical and methodological bases, certain trends today accentuate the global comparative assessment of students and the worldwide transferability of experiences. Accused of cultural imperialism or taking positions respectful of differences, the EC recognizes the advantages and limitations of transfers. Unlike the reduction to almost universal numbers and formulas, it is prudent to put in perspective different dimensions, including intranational ones, in order to separate what is immanent to cultures from what is beyond them.

    Desseriação escolar: alternativa para o sucesso?
    (2005) GOMES, Candido Alberto
    This paper presents a review of the research literature on primary education policies in the last 15 years in Brazil aimed to reduce the repetition rate by means of the adoption of cycles and other alternatives to the traditional organization in grades. The basic goal is to find if these policies have contributed to improve or to reduce pupils' performance. The study selected 62 research projects, with diverse theoretical and methodological approaches. Results show that different experiences have risks and disadvantages, among them the rupture of the so called social contract for school, partially based on the repetition threat. Accelerated learning projects have showed positive results. However, the deeper the changes aimed toward the educational codes, the stronger are the resistances. Policies not seldom neglect careful implementation. Research projects involving larger populations find that new policies do not improve or reduce pupils' achievement significantly. The international literature emphasizes the importance of strong support to pupils with difficulties. Comparative studies also show that repetition is a cultural, often biased phenomenon. Conclusions warn that policies implemented in the country Brazil may reduce their focus to the mere increase of efficiency and reduction of costs, by correcting the distortion age-grade. Nevertheless, low levels of quality and equity may remain.

    Educação e trabalho: representações de professores e alunos do ensino médio
    (2006) GOMES, Candido Alberto; CAPANEMA, Clélia de Freitas; CÂMARA, Jacira da Silva; CABANELAS, Lakné Campbell
    This paper analyses the representations by secondary school students and teachers, aiming to identify their motivations, perspectives and needs, as well as relations between education and work. The data were analyzed on the basis of the main "orthodoxical" and "hetherodoxical" theories on the relations among education, occupation, and earnings. This work compares data from two research projects: 1) a survey of students and teachers at the largest adult education school in the Federal District; 2) a survey of all the students who voluntarily participated in the National Secondary Education Exam - 2004. The former was sampling-based, whereas the latter covered all the participants. In both cases data were collected by a questionnaire. Results indicate the existence of a social gap between regular secondary education and adult education at the same level. While the students of the latter often left the school as a result of the need to work, they re-started their education for meeting work demands. However, adult education is less severe and to some extent paternalist. The second population included youths mostly interested in higher education, often with difficulties to select a program related to an occupation. In both cases their vision on the school was predominantly positive. Furthermore, in spite of the average higher level of schooling, entry of youths into the world of work has been increasingly difficult and occurs latter. These are some factors that lead secondary education to reach progressive universalization. Theoretical approaches and empirical results suggest the importance of the "hetherodoxical" perspectives, with emphasis to the concepts of educational inflation and credentialism.

    Financiamento do ensino médio: transparência ou opacidade?
    (2007) GOMES, Candido Alberto; MORGADO, Patrícia Cristina Chaves Rodrigues
    This paper focuses on the precarious financing of public secondary education and the need of clear, transparent data. As other levels of schooling, secondary education largely depends on primary education sources, often requiring improvised alternatives to assure resources. Enrollment expansion has led to more serious problems. A field research studied the financing and budgeting processes of public secondary education in the Federal District. Data were collected from statistical sources, document analysis, and semi-structured interviews. Results reveal the increasing contribution of the District own income, instead of the federal transfers. The amount of resources largely varied per year. Furthermore, secondary education expenditure data were systematically underestimated in accountancy. An international program had small impact, as a result of bureaucratic obstacles. Therefore, the new national fund to finance basic education requires clear and disaggregated estimates of spending and costs so that financing and results reach transparency

    Plano de carreira e avaliação dos professores: encontros e desencontros
    (2009) PALAZZO, Janete; GOMES, Candido Alberto
    This study aimed to assess if the criteria for progressing in the professors’ career of a higher education institution are the same that make a teacher good in the pupils’ view. The literature highlights many factors that influence pupils’ gains, however, it considers that the classic progressing criteria tend not to wield clearly effects on pupils’ gains. The exploratory research project used, to collect data, a questionnaire filled out by students, previously constructed, tested and approved as part of the institutional evaluation process. Besides verifying the professors’ performance from the students’ perspective, this research project related professors’ characteristics valued by the career ladder (degree, experience, seniority in the institution and academic publications) to their performance according to the students' evaluations. It was concluded that, in the institution investigated, there was no significant relationship between the evaluation of professors’ performance and the variables for progressing in career, confirming the literature on basic education.
