Joana é uma professora de escola pública de periferia, trabalha com turma do ensino fundamental no terceiro ano. Ela observa que a maioria de seus alunos ainda não aprendeu a ler e escrever; mas considera que eles não conseguem aprender porque são filhos de analfabetos ou de pessoas marginalizadas. Portanto, Joana parte do pressuposto de que os eventos ocorridos após o nascimento de seus alunos não são relevantes para o seu desenvolvimento, pois as crianças são influenciadas apenas pelas qualidades e capacidades básicas do ser humano, praticamente prontas, desde o seu nascimento. A professora acredita que as dificuldades de seus alunos foram herdadas geneticamente. Sobre as informações apresentadas e, ainda, considerando as teorias do desenvolvimento, pode-se afirmar que Joana acredita na teoria do:

A educação, além de favorecer para o desenvolvimento da personalidade humana, é requisito indispensável para a concreção da cidadania. Mediante ela, o cidadão passa a compreender o alcance das suas liberdades e a consciência de seus deveres. A educação é a condição para o exercício dos seus direitos, permitindo que haja uma integração entre uma cidadania consciente e uma democracia efetivamente participativa: “Em essência, a educação é o passaporte para a cidadania”.

Para Turra apud Haydt (1997, p. 58), a relevância de um planejamento dinâmico reside no fato de estar imbricado na atuação docente, ou seja, o professor que deseja realizar uma boa atuação docente sabe que deve participar, elaborar e organizar planos em diferentes níveis de complexidade para atender, em classe, seus alunos. Pelo envolvimento no processo ensino-aprendizagem, deve estimular a participação do aluno, a fim de que ele possa, realmente, efetuar uma aprendizagem tão significativa quanto permitam suas possibilidades e necessidades. O planejamento, nesse caso, envolve a previsão de resultados desejáveis, assim como também os meios necessários para alcançá-los. O processo de sistematização e a organização do ensino irão se desdobrar em outras formas de planejamento, tais como: planejamento de curso, planejamento de unidade e planejamento de aula. Sobre o planejamento de curso, assinale a afirmativa correta.

Segundo os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (1997), as tendências pedagógicas que se firmam nas escolas brasileiras, públicas e privadas, na maioria dos casos, não aparecem em forma pura, mas com características particulares, muitas vezes mesclando aspectos de mais de uma linha pedagógica. A análise das tendências pedagógicas no Brasil deixa evidente a influência dos grandes movimentos educacionais internacionais, da mesma forma que expressam as especificidades de nossa história política, social e cultural, a cada período em que são consideradas. Pode-se identificar, na tradição pedagógica brasileira, a presença de quatro grandes tendências: a tradicional, a renovada, a tecnicista e aquelas marcadas centralmente por preocupações sociais e políticas. Sobre o exposto e, ainda, considerando a tendência tecnicista na educação brasileira, assinale a afirmativa correta.

Na Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental “MA”, a professora de ciências do sexto ano decide trabalhar a unidade sobre ecossistemas. Ela acredita na importância de permitir que os alunos explorem e descubram o mundo ao seu redor de forma autônoma, incentivando a curiosidade, a criatividade e o pensamento crítico. Introduz o conceito de ecossistema de maneira aberta e envolvente, utilizando recursos visuais, como vídeos e imagens, para despertar o interesse dos alunos. Em seguida, ela organiza uma discussão em sala de aula, incentivando os alunos a compartilhar em suas próprias experiências e conhecimentos prévios sobre o assunto. Propõe, em seguida, um projeto de pesquisa em grupo, no qual os alunos têm a liberdade de escolher um ecossistema específico para investigar mais a fundo. Durante o período do projeto, a professora atua como facilitadora, oferecendo orientação e suporte conforme necessário, mas permitindo que os alunos assumam a liderança de seu próprio aprendizado. Ao longo da unidade, ela enfatiza não apenas a importância do conhecimento científico, mas também a responsabilidade dos alunos como cidadãos globais, destacando questões como sustentabilidade, conservação da biodiversidade e impacto humano no meio ambiente. Ao final da unidade, os alunos apresentam seus projetos em uma feira de ciências para a comunidade escolar, compartilhando suas descobertas e reflexões sobre os ecossistemas estudados. A professora encoraja a reflexão coletiva sobre os processos e resultados obtidos. Na apresentação da feira, os alunos são os protagonistas, explicando seus projetos e resultados ao público.

Observando a necessidade de uma escola preparada para o aluno moderno, é primordial que haja professores capacitados. Para além das escolas, o sociólogo e antropólogo Philippe Perrenoud (1999) aborda a melhoria na educação e a responsabilidade que a universidade tem para formar professores pesquisadores reflexivos. [...] Se a universidade é, potencialmente, o melhor lugar para formar os professores para a prática reflexiva e a participação crítica, ela deve, para realizar esse potencial e provar sua competência, evitar toda arrogância e se dispor a trabalhar com os atores em campo.

Nas palavras de Gadotti: “todo projeto supõe rupturas com o presente e promessas com o futuro.

Conclusions and Recommendations


    Given the panorama of English instruction in Brazil, particularly in the states of Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso, and considering the results of the surveys conducted with universities and teachers in both states, some conclusions and recommendations could be drawn.

    Nationally, English instruction has been gaining importance and visibility through curriculum reform and the new model of upper secondary school. It is an enormously significant achievement that, for the first time, English has become mandatory in all public and private schools from 6th grade onward. The BNCC offers clarity on the competencies and abilities that students should develop at each education level. However, if, on the one hand, making English compulsory was an important step, on the other hand, the implementation of this policy is still incomplete. The main issue is the limited amount of instructional time in English in the national curriculum guidelines. As the cases of Mato Grosso and Minas Gerais illustrate, the result is that students have insufficient exposure to the language, with only two classes per week in secondary schools and one class per week in upper secondary. Under these conditions, it is unlikely that learners will develop full proficiency in the language, and teachers will have the instructional time to focus on all the necessary competencies and abilities required by the BNCC.

    Another important consideration is the link between initial training for English teachers and how it interacts with the routines and challenges of the classroom. There is room for improvement when considering the mismatch between the programs of study at universities and the pedagogical practice required of English teachers and strengthened ties and communication between State Education Departments and the teacher training programs at universities.

    Universities face additional challenges, such as the low English proficiency of students in the initial training courses. Initial training institutions face difficulties in thoroughly preparing future teachers regarding language proficiency and the pedagogical elements related to being an effective teacher. In this sense, the situation can create a vicious cycle; students leave schools with a low proficiency level in English, and those who decide to take the initial training courses to become English teachers and enter universities cannot fully develop proficiency as pedagogical competencies. Therefore, they enter schools not fully prepared to be teachers and face all the challenges of a classroom.

    Another critical challenge is class size and the heterogeneity of students’ ability levels, which could limit teachers’ ability to implement some pedagogical practices, such as working with practicing speaking. This is not only a challenge faced by English teachers, but all teachers and that policymakers need to keep in mind. In addition, teachers commonly work in more than one school at a time and sometimes teach other subjects to meet the required hours of instructional time stipulated in their contracts.

   The surveys with teachers demonstrated that many have never participated in a professional development session specifically designed for English teachers. For those who have, not all considered the helpful training to improve their knowledge and practice. This points to the fact that more attention needs to be paid to the continuous training courses offered to English teachers. These training courses should be frequent and address specific challenges, taking into account the pedagogical issues and areas that English teachers identify as most critical.

    Briefly, it is important to highlight the windows of opportunity that have been opened in Brazil with the BNCC and the new upper secondary model. Through their education ministries, state governments have made significant efforts to adapt their regional curricula to the competencies and abilities listed on the BNCC and implement the first pilots and designed pathways for upper secondary schools. It remains a question of how the rest of those two processes will be implemented, but there are positive signs that English may gain more importance at a national level. At least in Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso, there is already a movement to increase the importance of the discipline.

    While Minas Gerais has developed a few specific training courses for English teachers focused on improving their pedagogical knowledge through the program “Pathways for Educators” and intends to create a training pathway for upper secondary students focused in English, Mato Grosso has implemented English in all primary schools in the state and launched the program “More English,” with resources to help teachers and students. Those efforts are aligned with the national reforms and illustrate the political willingness of states to promote more actions to improve teachers’ and students’ proficiency in English.

    In these states and, to some extent, at the national level, the foundations have been set to put English instruction in the spotlight as a crucial discipline to the integral development of students. However, much work and resources are still needed to realize this goal. Therefore, the following recommendations are intended to advise decision-makers at universities and State Education Departments.

I. One of the aspects that impair the implementation of the new educational guidelines mentioned in the text is student’s lack of sufficient language exposure, which may lead to lower English proficiency.

II. The mismatch between the initial training of English teachers in universities and the pedagogical practices required in schools is not considered to be a key factor that jeopardizes students’ English proficiency.

III. It is clear in the text that teachers who have not fully developed English proficiency during their initial training courses may face challenges when it comes to pedagogical practices in the classroom.

IV. Students’ different levels of English proficiency is a crucial factor that could inhibit speaking activities in the classroom.

    Another critical challenge is class size and the heterogeneity of students’ ability levels, which could limit teachers’ ability to implement some pedagogical practices, such as working with practicing speaking. This is not only a challenge faced by English teachers, but all teachers and that policymakers need to keep in mind. In addition, teachers commonly work in more than one school at a time and sometimes teach other subjects to meet the required hours of instructional time stipulated in their contracts.

   The surveys with teachers demonstrated that many have never participated in a professional development session specifically designed for English teachers. For those who have, not all considered the helpful training to improve their knowledge and practice. This points to the fact that more attention needs to be paid to the continuous training courses offered to English teachers. These training courses should be frequent and address specific challenges, taking into account the pedagogical issues and areas that English teachers identify as most critical.

    Briefly, it is important to highlight the windows of opportunity that have been opened in Brazil with the BNCC and the new upper secondary model. Through their education ministries, state governments have made significant efforts to adapt their regional curricula to the competencies and abilities listed on the BNCC and implement the first pilots and designed pathways for upper secondary schools. It remains a question of how the rest of those two processes will be implemented, but there are positive signs that English may gain more importance at a national level. At least in Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso, there is already a movement to increase the importance of the discipline.

    While Minas Gerais has developed a few specific training courses for English teachers focused on improving their pedagogical knowledge through the program “Pathways for Educators” and intends to create a training pathway for upper secondary students focused in English, Mato Grosso has implemented English in all primary schools in the state and launched the program “More English,” with resources to help teachers and students. Those efforts are aligned with the national reforms and illustrate the political willingness of states to promote more actions to improve teachers’ and students’ proficiency in English.

    In these states and, to some extent, at the national level, the foundations have been set to put English instruction in the spotlight as a crucial discipline to the integral development of students. However, much work and resources are still needed to realize this goal. Therefore, the following recommendations are intended to advise decision-makers at universities and State Education Departments.

Conclusions and Recommendations


    Given the panorama of English instruction in Brazil, particularly in the states of Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso, and considering the results of the surveys conducted with universities and teachers in both states, some conclusions and recommendations could be drawn.

    Nationally, English instruction has been gaining importance and visibility through curriculum reform and the new model of upper secondary school. It is an enormously significant achievement that, for the first time, English has become mandatory in all public and private schools from 6th grade onward. The BNCC offers clarity on the competencies and abilities that students should develop at each education level. However, if, on the one hand, making English compulsory was an important step, on the other hand, the implementation of this policy is still incomplete. The main issue is the limited amount of instructional time in English in the national curriculum guidelines. As the cases of Mato Grosso and Minas Gerais illustrate, the result is that students have insufficient exposure to the language, with only two classes per week in secondary schools and one class per week in upper secondary. Under these conditions, it is unlikely that learners will develop full proficiency in the language, and teachers will have the instructional time to focus on all the necessary competencies and abilities required by the BNCC.

    Another important consideration is the link between initial training for English teachers and how it interacts with the routines and challenges of the classroom. There is room for improvement when considering the mismatch between the programs of study at universities and the pedagogical practice required of English teachers and strengthened ties and communication between State Education Departments and the teacher training programs at universities.

    Universities face additional challenges, such as the low English proficiency of students in the initial training courses. Initial training institutions face difficulties in thoroughly preparing future teachers regarding language proficiency and the pedagogical elements related to being an effective teacher. In this sense, the situation can create a vicious cycle; students leave schools with a low proficiency level in English, and those who decide to take the initial training courses to become English teachers and enter universities cannot fully develop proficiency as pedagogical competencies. Therefore, they enter schools not fully prepared to be teachers and face all the challenges of a classroom.

    Another critical challenge is class size and the heterogeneity of students’ ability levels, which could limit teachers’ ability to implement some pedagogical practices, such as working with practicing speaking. This is not only a challenge faced by English teachers, but all teachers and that policymakers need to keep in mind. In addition, teachers commonly work in more than one school at a time and sometimes teach other subjects to meet the required hours of instructional time stipulated in their contracts.
